Our family likes to eat and while we love preparing meals fresh on the grill or gas cooktop in the farmhouse, it is also nice to leave the dishes to someone else and eat out.
Here’s a list of our top restaurant picks.
Asheville:
Modesto: This woodfire kitchen is the perfect spot for dinner.
Limones: A fun take on mexican cuisine, we love it for dinner but Limones also offers a great brunch menu and fabulous cocktails.
Curate: This tapas bar is a true gem for lovers of Spanish cuisine and culture.
12 Bones Smokehouse: This barbecue joint is an Obama-favorite and a must-taste on any trip to Asheville.
