Vegetarian & vegan comfort foods, kombucha on tap, patio
"Since 2002, this vegan soul food restaurant has been a cornerstone of the independent storefronts found on downtown Asheville’s Lexington Avenue. Its patio, framed with a floor-length curtain of macrame plant holders, is the perfect spot to catch live music and street performances from the wild cast of singer-songwriters and street performers who hang out downtown. A few standouts of the menu are the cast-iron cornbread served with gravy-smothered kale and the peanut-butter-baked tofu. Lean even harder into the New-Age, hippie energy and order from the local kombucha bar—they have fresh draft pours of what townies like to call “booch,” as well as cocktails and mocktails that feature “booched-up” versions of Old Fashioneds and margaritas." - laura hackett
"Relocated in 2022 to a space just down the street from the funky Lexington Avenue building it had inhabited for 20 years, Rosetta’s still maintains its mellow, hippie vibe and serves the same menu of simple, fresh, affordably priced vegan and vegetarian soul food. The veggie burger and peanut butter-baked tofu are legendary, but the Buddha Bowl is another good choice with its simultaneously healthy and indulgent tumble of rice, smoky tofu, avocado, greens, and more (add the house-cultured kimchi for a kick). The spacious patio area offers on-tap, locally made Buchi kombucha plus cocktails, mocktails, and housemade sodas." - Gina Smith
"Vegetarian? Vegan? Gluten-free? Rosetta’s Kitchen has you covered. Abstaining from alcohol? Buchi Bar has six flavors of garden-to-glass Buchi kombucha on tap, kombucha tasting flights, and mocktails, elixirs, herbal and mushroom extractions, and free-spirited/spirits-free beverage collaborations with Blue Ridge Hemp." - Kay West

"This casual eatery is a haven for those with dietary needs. Vegetarians, vegans, and people on a gluten-free diet are all welcome here. Rosetta’s Kitchen stands out with its bright purple awning and flower boxes. The restaurant offers a sliding scale meal for $2 to $6, and anything over that is paid forward so that those in need can eat. Earn some good karma while eating here, and try the cornbread and greens for a hearty helping of Southern soul food among other international comfort foods on the menu." - MATADOR_NETWORK
