Asheville With Food Intolerances
And For Vegans/Vegetarians
We are a half-Celiac household, which means that we are pros at eating gluten-free and finding gluten-reduced breweries. Tom and I are both lactose intolerant and actively seek out both lactose-free and vegan spots. Plus, living with ulcerative colitis, I have many food sensitivities, especially in a flare. If you can relate, these restaurant lists will help get you started. Asheville is very food intolerance and preference-friendly.

Asheville Restaurants By Neighborhood
Each Asheville neighborhood has a vibe. Head to Historic Biltmore Village for shopping, food, and easy access to Biltmore (and its delicious on-site restaurants). Or, walk the RAD Riverwalk, shop for art, and spy murals with lunch or dinner in the River Arts District. West Asheville is full of local treats, murals, coffee shops, and bookstores. Downtown Asheville boasts those James Beard award-winning restaurants. North Asheville stays a bit less crowded and local like historic Montford.
