The 18 Best Restaurants in Asheville, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Tucked in the corner of a small shopping center, Copper Crown is a neighborhood go-to spot for the quiet east side of town and an excellent alternative to the usual downtown and West Asheville suspects. The vibe is laid back but polished with a menu from chef/co-owner Adam Bannasch that glows with a harmony of Southern, Italian, and NOLA influences. The Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi burgers and Buffalo green tomatoes are perennial favorites and make a perfect casual dinner. For a more upscale experience, there’s a wide and ever-changing selection of small and large plates built around seasonal mountain produce, locally sourced meats, and North Carolina seafood, plus excellently crafted cocktails." - Gina Smith
