Best Asheville Farm-to-Table Restaurants

For a taste of Western North Carolina, this Asheville guide points visitors and locals to restaurants that cook with nearby farms, foragers and producers. Most are downtown, with Corner Kitchen in Biltmore Village and HomeGrown on Merrimon Avenue in North Asheville. The Market Place, open since 1979, sources from area farms such as Hickory Nut Gap Farm, Sunburst Trout Farm and Looking Glass Creamery, and its menu follows the seasons with ramps in spring and squash in summer. Posana, near Pack Square, runs a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Corner Kitchen serves local, seasonal ingredients in a Victorian cottage. At Cúrate, chef Katie Button builds Spanish tapas around mountain ingredients like grilled mountain trout and cod fritters with wild mountain honey.

Reservations at Cúrate are in high demand, so book ahead.
