Guidebook for Asheville
Food Scene
Probably the most famous breakfast spot in Asheville, for good reason. Insider tips: send one person ahead to get your name on the list. When their phone app tells you your table is almost ready, start walking over. It’s easier to get a table for dinner -- and their breakfast menu is available all day!

Not just great beer! New Belgium has a grassy field perfect for frisbee and soccer, a paved greenway path near the river, non-alcoholic seltzers made daily, and there is always a food truck. Drive here or catch a Lyft; it’s a steep descent down to the river. Plentiful parking; if first lot is full, try the staff lot (after 5 pm and all weekend) or street spots. Weekend afternoons get a bit crazy, but there is space for everyone (and they pour outside when the lines inside get super long).
