Best restaurant in Asheville. As a local, if you’re looking for a nice restaurant, you can’t get any better in AVL. Mark was a great waiter and the chef is incredible.

Expect to spend a decent amount on this food. The quality and service is well worth it, though. Mark took care of us from the Bar to our table and was fantastic. I would go back, next time I visit.

The Sunday dinner series, "Cease and Desist" was so much fun. Love the atmosphere, generous portions, and fine dining!
Cultura opened in 2019 as the brainchild of Wicked Weed Co-Founder Walt Dickinson. Under the helm of Executive Chef Eric Morris, Cultura was a 2020 James Beard semi-finalist for Best New Restaurant before the shutdown. After multiple pandemic pivots, including serving 5000 meals per week to those in need throughout WNC. The newly reimagined restaurant will feature New American cuisine with a focus on culture-based foods. This style of cuisine uses old world techniques and culinary traditions that inspire us, and the literal act of culturing food for preservation.
