Anyplace good to eat in or around Asheville, NC?

[AvyB]

I am just south of A'ville...not really finding anything. But it seems a city as big and eclectic as Asheville would have something. :) Anyone know?

TIA!

Sport did you just google that or go to a particular site???

[AvyB]

Thanks! I tried googeling places but the ones I found had generally bad reviews. :( Didn't come across that one though! :)

Shortcut to: http://www.happycow.net/north_america/usa/north_carolina/asheville/index.html?svo=1

Above is a link to the relevant page.
When you have got to the page for the town you want click on veg only or otherwise they will also list veg friendly and anybody can get on that list.
They list reviews of the restaurants and allow you to review them as well.

Anybody try any of these. I'm going to Asheville this weekend with my family and I would love somewhere to get some REAL food!!

I live in Greenville, and I just discovered a place called Lifeit that is almost all organic and raw!! I am so excited to go try it out! It is only open Mon-Sat 10 am - 4 pm though.

Is Lifeit in Greenville? I'm going to be spending a few days in Greenville with a day trip to Asheville and then up to Raleigh. My boyfriend already plans on taking me to the Laughing Seed, but I'd love to hit a veggie place in SC too! Thanks.

Yep Lifeit is in Greenville. Heres a link to their website so you can check out the menu www.lifeitcafe.com - hope I'm not too late! :) I have been to the Laughing Seed too, I loved it!

[Vegan Princess]

You're not too late. I'm actually not going until the first week of July! I'm really excited to check out a place I've never been and even more excited to know that there is a raw cafe there. And my boyfriend probably thought he would be escaping all the vegan food by going back to the South. Hehe.

Oh good! Well in case you didn't see on their site, they are only open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm.. I'm bummed they aren't open more, although I guess it keeps me from going every day! haha.. I hope you enjoy it! :)
