Artisan’s Palate

The 24 Best Restaurants In Charlotte - Charlotte - The Infatuation

"Come to The Artisan’s Palate for a chill and fun Sunday brunch. They have monthly drag shows, and a back patio that makes for a perfect early-in-the-day meal under the string lights and murals. Start with the bacon-wrapped dates that are served in a butcher paper-lined wooden pig bowl and stuffed with marcona almonds, goat cheese, and rosemary honey. Then, go ahead and ride that pork-and-rosemary train until the last stop: The Paratrooper cocktail has housemade fig-infused bourbon with rosemary syrup, along with a smoking sprig of rosemary peeking out of your rocks glass. While you sip, snack away at the sausage board, with three varieties of links, marinated artichokes, and a warm baguette." - tess allen, g clay whittaker

Where to Drink Margaritas That Give Back in Charlotte | Eater

"Almost an entirely women-led kitchen and staff runs this cafe-by-day and restaurant-by-night, tucked into a plaza in NoDa. Home to drag performances and spirit education nights, Artisan’s Palate is nothing short of eclectic. Chef Christa Czoka’s small plates lean local and seasonal, as do her meticulously house-made syrups and infusions for cocktails. The layered drink, Weight of the World, is a confluence of blood orange, prickly pear, apricot, and mezcal, while Astral Reposado brings in smokey, caramelized agave notes. Also, locals know that some of the coolest regional art is showcased in the restaurant’s hidden art gallery." - Kayleigh Ruller

Where to Watch Live Music in Charlotte Restaurants and Bars | Eater Carolinas

"Artisan’s Palate bursts with personality as an immersive art gallery, cocktail spot, tapas restaurant, and boozy drag brunch location. The cocktails, created with in-house syrups and shrubs, and often named after chef-owner Christia Csoka’s friends, complement the small plates, like local cheese boards and mussels in white wine. Check out the hanging chalkboard which showcases the dozens of local farms and artisans supported by the Artisan’s Palate. Music is the main character at the Charity Drag Brunch once a month, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., featuring a specialty menu, themed decor, and a palpable spirit of celebration." - Kayleigh Ruller
