Food scene

Asheville has so many amazing restaurants. Wayside is rarely mentioned among the "must-eat" places, but it should be. We've been here a few dozen times and have yet to have a complaint at all. The food is excellent, the prices are more than fair, and the hours are better than nearly every other restaurant in Asheville. They offer a full bar but still manage to be family friendly. Forget the world-famous chefs' restaurants; this might be our favorite place in Asheville. Located in Biltmore Village, this gem is less than a mile from your stay!

Always delicious with HUGE servings. I love their twist on traditional Mexican food combined with 'Ashevillian' accents. Try to plantains as an appetizer! You won't be disappointed.

This vegan restaurant is a hit! The tempalo wings are to die for! Seriously you will never find anything like them ever again. With house-made veggie burgers and peanut butter tofu, you will feel right at home at this cozy, plant filled, downtown hotspot.

A local favorite. This take on tacos will have you wanting seconds. Always order the chips and queso as an appetizer. My favorite tacos are the duck taco and the lamb gyro.

A classic cocktail lounge that will have you waiting out the door on Friday and Saturday nights. The wait will be well worth it. Lavender lemonade cocktails aka 'Dr. Hannah's purple pill' paired with their late night food menu makes for a fun night out.

Get Outside

Some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world are just around the corner. This day trip is an easy walk to many jaw dropping falls. If you visit in the summer months, you'll want to bring a bathing suit.

Super easy hike. Only 1 mile round trip. The mountain drive to the peak of the mountain is just beautiful. The road rapidly climbs in elevation and there is a waterfall in almost every turn. This experience is a must!

Sightseeing

The Biltmore is a must see! I have been over 20 times and still have not been able to appreciate every detail. Plan to spend all day here. I'd suggest an audio tour as you walk through the home so you can hear the history of each room at your own pace. Don't forget to save time to check out the award winning gardens!
