The food was spot on, and the service was excellent. The interior has a really cool atmosphere. One thing to note is that the photos make the restaurant look much larger than it actually is—it's a small, intimate space with vaulted ceilings, which I personally enjoyed. The menu is also intentionally small, allowing them to focus on quality, and it appears they rotate the offerings regularly.
Absolutely excellent in every way. We’ll be back, and will send our friends.
I will say ambience , service , meal were unique and enjoyable.There were 6 of us all turned off by cocktails.Martinis etc served in cutsie small glasses half full but full price .This starts things off on the wrong foot and frankly caused hostility.understand cocktails play a big role in profit margin but for folks feeling they are solidly being ripped off is bad for business.A 1/3 size martini,old fashioned packed with ice or the space taking”rock” caused negative...read full review

The Bull and Beggar is a well-known upscale casual restaurant in Asheville, offering a semi-seasonal menu with a French-inspired flair. The ingredients are of good quality, and the dishes are conservatively elaborated to showcase their flavors. The service is professional and attentive, making the dining experience suitable for both seasoned and new customers. The restaurant continues to be a top choice in Asheville, especially after other establishments have closed, thanks to its commitment to culinary excellence.
Standout menu items include the escargot, oysters, steak, cabbage and citrus beet salad, and the whipped feta. Customers praise the delicious bread and butter, as well as the creative and flavorful dishes, such as the Gnocchi alla Romano with fresh vegetables. The oysters on half shell from Washington State are often highlighted as the best, with plump, creamy texture and a perfect brine taste. The hanger steak, served with pommes frites, is perfectly grilled medium rare, and the steak tartare is also highly appreciated. A starter of haricots-vert with tomatoes features some of the best tomatoes ever eaten, and the anchovy toast with truffle is so good that many order a second helping. The cocktails, including a terrific Old Fashioned made by the bartender Peter, are spot on, and the wine selection complements the meal well, with a notable Gamay that pairs with everything. Overall, the restaurant's refined yet regionally true aesthetic, combined with excellent service and expertly prepared dishes, makes it a favorite among Asheville's discerning diners.
