Cúrate

Cúrate is an excellent Spanish tapas restaurant in downtown Asheville. They were the recipient of the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Hospitality, though they were a hometown (and tourist) favorite long before that.

Their menu includes Spanish tapas, excellent wine options and decadent desserts. As far as tapas go, we have loved everything we have tried. The chistorra & chips is a great place to start while you check out the menu. The sauteed mushrooms are also fantastic, as well as the piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese.

Cúrate is a great date night restaurant in Asheville and it’s also great for groups. The more people, the more you can try, right?

You’ll definitely want to make a reservation in advance to secure a table at Cúrate.
