This is the most delightful surprise. First of all it is relaxed, fun, and very inexpensive. Using local and fresh produce when available you will enjoy a delightful combination of Caribbean-Mexican fusion cuisine. They have a good selection of wine and beer. I think they have the best margarita in town made from fresh limejuice and whatever the bartender throws in that night. THEY ALLOW YOU TO DINE IN THE ALLEY WITH YOUR DOGS.

Meat free dining at its best. Not being a vegetarian I still choose the Laughing Seed on occasion. The food is creative and scrumptious served in a comfortable setting at affordable prices. YUMMY!

EXCELLENT seafood and the lobsters are flown in from Maine 3 times a week. A new addition to Asheville's food scene and a much needed one. Until their arrival we were short on seafood offerings.

SUSHI SUSHI SUSHI and EXCELLENT I might add.  Living in California for so long we were leary of eating sushi away from the coast.  I don't know where it comes from but it is not only fresh but the combinations are innovative and rival anything in California.  One of our favorites. (Near the Biltmore.)

This is by far my new favorite restaurant. Sometimes I say the restaurants in Asheville are "getting there". This one has arrived. Everything about it is perfect. The food is impeccable from freshness to preparation to style to quality to presentation. Rumor has it that the chef was stolen from Savoy. The ambience is delightful, very intimate without being crowded. I find it to be a real dining experience; taking ones time to sample a treat from every category. The staff does not hurry you and encourages you to enjoy (without selling). They are very knowledgeable even down to the beers offered and a great wine list. Don't miss this one.

Bon Appetite Ya'll ! When I saw these three little words at the top of the menu I knew this place was for me. A delightful little country French Bistro featuring a perfect menu of all my favorites including; mussels in white wine, pepper steak, crepes and daily "slow- cooked" country specials AND THE BEST FRENCH FRIES!! It is a relaxed atmosphere with moderate prices making it an easy choice for a fabulous meal while roaming around Asheville.

This is the most amazing restaurant! I guarantee this place. Amazing chef, amazing seasonal specials, superb wine list and SOUFFLES! It is pricey but well worth it.

Emphasis on seafood offerings which is a good thing as this choice is not prevalent in Asheville. If I need to feel as if I am still on the cutting edge and 35 years old again with a corporate job I like to go here. It feels trendy, latest martinis and such are offered. Excellent food, fun dining and the best service in town.

Amazing continental restaurant with a Mediterranean flair. The best Lamb Shank and Osso Buco but then again the seafood specials are to die for. The décor is modern and you can roll right out of the Biltmore grab an early table and end the perfect Asheville Day.

MY NEW FAVORITE! A wonderful chef with surprising twists on continental faire. He features local and seasonal produce. Everything is just so fresh and yummy. My last trip I had the best mackerel on cannelini beans and Gary’s duck was to die for. A must! (Near the Biltmore.)

If you look up eclectic in the dictionary it just might say Flying Frog. The chef and owner is combination French, German and Indian and so is the menu. We have had some incredible surprises here and everything superb. Even the atmosphere is on the exotic side.

Southern or better yet just good ole down-home comfort foot of high quality ingredients and creativity. This is not your mother's pot pie. Highly recommended for lunch and dinner and again a stone's throw from the Biltmore.

What a great place for the North Asheville/Weaverville area. (That means it is in between Asheville and coming home to Ponder Cove.) The interior is brightly painted in what I would call a European folk style, and the deck is lovely. They serve American contemporary cuisine with neat daily specials, and they serve beer and wine.

Don't think this is just another pizza joint. We call it "CHEERS". It just has a nice neighborhood feeling and dang good pizza. They took my favorite off the menu but I build it myself. Tell them it is the old "Shear Delight" (before they sold) A toasted sesame crust with portabella mushrooms, chicken, walnuts and gorgonzola. THEY ALLOW YOU TO DINE ON THE PORCH WITH YOUR DOGS.

Now serving great savory items as well. Build a picnic and bring it back to Ponder Cove or enjoy it there. But it doesn't matter where you eat in Weaverville DON'T EAT DESSERT! Go to the Well-Bred instead. I always say they rival anything on Madison Avenue. If you can eat a whole éclair I'll pay for it. Truly top drawer and they picked Weaverville to locate instead of Asheville. Aren't my thighs lucky?
