Restaurants near Biltmore Forest

“I was very surprised with this place... The food was freshly prepared and served with a large portion... They do not have table service.. You order and pay at the counter.. Food items were moderately priced and service was fairly fast... We had thunder storms the day we visited and had to eat inside..but they have great outdoor seating with nice views of the gardens.”

“Amazing service! Let me tell u, I was surprised how nicely we were treated. The sushi were super delicious! My new favorite to go for sushi place. Definitely coming back and bringing friends with me.”

“By far the BEST dining experience we had in Asheville. The food is so spectacular that I bought their cookbook just to remember how good it tasted. You MUST sit at the bar! We spoke with so many people, local and repeat visitors. Friendly, fun vibe. Highly recommended!!!!”

“One of my all time favorite restaurants! We live 45 minutes away but stop in every chance we get. The food is always 10/10 and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and make sure you have everything you need!”

“We found this little gem by chance and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, kid friendly (albeit its an adult place). We sat at a small corner table by the bar. We enjoyed some sharable plates, great wines, mocktails for the kids, excellent wines and my wife a great Vesper made by Luci (the bartender). But the cherry on top was the fact that she made a perfect Irish Coffee - a simple drink, but buttered by 99% of the bar tenders. We will be back.”

“Why haven’t I been here before?! Omg! So good! I got the poke bowl (a delicious combination of tuna, cucumbers and tomatoes in sauce) and hubby got the fried chicken sandwich….I think it is our new favorite chicken sandwich in Asheville. The honey sauce the used! Yum! Coming back. Great outdoor dining and all the food is great!”

“The whole experience was wonderful! I loved the food and we sat at the bar so it was fun to see the food as it was made. It is purposely small - so it was like I was invited into a dinner party in a home. Unique drinks, flavorful food and yummy ice cream.”

“We absolutely love this place. We always visit them whenever we are in Asheville. We recommend sitting at the counter. The counter will allow you to be entertained by the staff. We hung out with Derek this time. He is an amazing chef. There's nothing like watching an artist at work.”

“Chai Pani is one of my favorite restaurants in the world! I’ve traveled to 16 countries, and this is easily one of the best if not THE best that I’ve had. The Chicken pakora nuggets, okra fries, and bhel puri are some of the best dishes you could ever taste. We’ve been multiple times and have never been disappointed! We live 2.5 hours ways and have driven it just to eat at Chai Pani.”

“My husband and I tried this place out for the first time to celebrate an anniversary. David(dave) was our waiter and gave great service; he was very knowledgeable with the menu, kind and overall was great! To start, we ordered the bacon wrapped scallops that were so delicious! We ordered the filet minion and catfish for our main entrees and they were both amazing dishes. Dessert was offered, but we were just too full to try it! At least it gives us an excuse to come back. So pleased with this place!”

“Had a very delightful dinner at Chestnut. Our server, Woody, was welcoming and attentive. Lobster bisque, duck marsala risotto, and spring trifle were all very delicious.”

“Food is incredible and the staff are all so lovely and friendly. Dining room is stunning and best of all, free parking! The private label wine that is 1/2 off on Wednesdays is amazing. Such a good spot for business lunches, cozy dinners and the patio is dog-friendly!”

“Absolutely one of the best places for Indian food we have been to. The place is new but the are a sister restaurant to Andaaz in Biltmore. The quality is very comparable and the drinks are a wonderful blend of flavors Eric had the Lamb Vindaloo while I had the Brazino. Both were amazing The staff were very friendly and helpful. Kevin the bartender was great. But don't get confused he isn't Indian. The owner Tony does have a vested interest and personally gets input from the patrons”

“Great offerings for lovers of all types of beers. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor areas including the Meadows section and frisbee golf course. Very unique setting and very friendly and knowledgeable servers. Relaxing spot and one of the top breweries in NC.”

“I always come here with a big group of people for brunching on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon - so we are usually too hungover to care enough to take photos haha! But - the lobster nachos are my go-to. The place is usually pretty crowded but we just meander around downtown until a table opens up. Great food, great service, great vibe. Thumbs up!”

“My new favorite place. My go to is the Mango shaved ice, a treat that is close to home. Atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing. There is no dessert place like it in Asheville.”

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Asheville! I usually get a cappuccino, drip coffee, and one of the pastries and they are all fantastic. Ash always makes a perfect cappuccino with properly steamed milk.I’ll often hang out for an hour or two to work in the cozy cafe. I’ve also brought my three year old to the cafe and she thoroughly enjoyed her experience!”

“All the food is super delicious but I’m especially obsessed with the lamb Frankie and Vada Pav. The staff is so nice and helpful I highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious and authentic Indian food.”

“Had a great time, first time at this location... We've been to two other piano bars and by far this is the best! Marisa was amazing and never let our drinks go empty! Great talent, great music, great vibe!!”

“Visited 3/25/24. Omg go to rebel burger if you haven't been already-what a solid food truck this is. My biggest regret was that I ate this burger so quick that I didn't have time to take pics. The process is fairly simple, you order via QR code, grab a drink at Hi-Wire if you wish in the meantime, then wait for them to email you that your order is ready. My mom and I split a rebel burger and an abundance bowl. The only thing we couldn't think of was how to tweak the ingredients while ordering online (my mom initially didn't want the mayo), but honestly upon trying the burger, we both admitted the ingredients included were perfection. That is one good burger and the bun was delicious too. And the abundance bowl was just as good-so flavorful and well balanced. A side/smaller version of the abundance bowl would be an awesome option instead of fries as something to go with the burger (we didn't want fries because we had already had some earlier in the day). It works just as well on its own though and is pretty large so you may find yourself with leftovers. This is one food truck you shouldn't miss.”

“Perhaps the fastest kitchen we’ve ever experienced. Food was done well and quickly. Fabulous fried clam appetizer. Oyster Po Boy was very good as was my wife’s Shrimp Po Boy.”

“We were recommended to eat here by a friend and we absolutely loved it. We had our 11 month old son with us and they accommodated us by all means. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town. The brisket Mac & cheese was delicious!”

“The nickname "Malt Disney World" truly fits. This place is amazing. I took the brewery tour and was extremely impressed with how knowledgeable and friendly Madison was. Afterwards, I had a few beers in the taproom, and honestly I didn't want to leave! Amazing experience from beginning to end, and I can't wait to come back!”

“I loved the food that I ordered. I got the okra fries, the paneer tikka roll, and chai. My husband and his friend each got the Malai chicken tikka roll. We got takeout because I had to drop the guys off at the airport and then hit the road for a 7 hour drive.The sandwich was good, but the okra fries were incredible! They are sliced paper thin and are not greasy at all, and they have just the right amount of chaat masala on them. The chai was the best chai I have ever had. The guys really liked their chicken sandwiches, too. Unfortunately, I don't live in Asheville, so I don't know when I can come back again. If I did live in Asheville, I would be coming here regularly.Vegetarian options: The vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled.”

“This place is genuinely one of my favorite places to eat in Asheville. The fries are authentic and superb, the chicken and fish are absolute perfection. The vibes are immaculate and the restaurant interior is very much reminiscent of a Belgian frituur. Highly recommend.”

“Went here a few weeks ago for brunch with a friend and....yum.Are we vegan? No. Have I stopped thinking about that chicken sandwich with mushroom gravy? Also no. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Was a really fun new place to try! Food was a bit experimental, especially if you’re going all vegetarian, but the details in the menu show a lot of love and care put in. Since the menu rotates so much, we’ll have to go back and try more. ”

“The food was very tasty and the drinks were strong and not over priced. I loved the open and clean atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I was happy all around.”

“This place makes an excellent martini (with blue cheese olives). It's a cool environment, somewhat crowded, but the busy-ness adds to the appeal. I think they shine more in cocktails than in food. The burger is made with American cheese, to its detriment. Burrata was good, and the table tried some small Spanish-style fish. We had another OK pasta dish as well. Less likely to return for a meal but happy to come for drinks + apps.”
