1. Social Lounge
Highlights: Rooftop Seating | Downtown Asheville | Weekends Only | Gluten-senstive & Vegan Options
For Saturday and Sunday brunch in Asheville, Social Lounge has a fantastic seasonal cocktail list and delicious brunch options. As Sicilian Americans, we champion all of Chef Cerrato’s creations.
Choose from Social Lounge’s lighter fare like vegan lox or eggs, salads, and pastries. Or, order waffles, cannolis, shrimp and grits, egg platters, sweet pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and French toast.
You might just catch light live music from a guitarist.
Social Lounge also boasts one of the quaintest rooftop bars in Downtown Asheville. While the rooftop may not be as tall or as glamorous as Capella on 9, you still get those breathtaking mountain views.
A brunching party next to us best described the rooftop as a scene out of Better Homes and Gardens – with booze.
A few more tips about dining at Social Lounge:
- Great cozy spot for couples
- Boasts a jumping late-night bar
- Sister restaurant to Strada Italiano (and Gemelli; more below) with indoor seating and bar
- Make advanced online reservations
- Park in the numerous Downtown garages; we prefer the Civic Center Garage, but it is a bit of a hike
- For us, Social Lounge is our go-to before heading to a festival or fair in Pack Square. It’s a great way to beat the parking crowds and fuel up
- We love taking out-of-town visitors here

2. ELDR Restaurant
Highlights: Fairytale Cottage | Grovewood Village | Weekend Brunch & Weekday Breakfast/Coffee | On-site Parking
Newer to North Asheville in Grovewood Village (2022) and across from the historic Omni Grove Park Inn, ELDR is one of the not-to-miss Asheville brunch restaurants. In fact, it’s one of our favorites.
Managed by the owners of Pulp & Sprout and the (former) Over Easy Cafe, find a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items, including one of the best burgers in town, handhelds, egg dishes, and pancakes.
We love the pork schnitzel with egg and beet shavings along with the incredible selection of delicious handcrafted cocktails. Also, find coffee, tea, and an extensive wine list. ELDR’s menu changes daily.
ELDR easily modifies dishes for our food intolerances – especially lactose – and they have gluten-free items and bread.
Enjoy indoor dining in one of two rooms, at the bar, or on the outdoor patio. They also sell pottery and small souvenirs at the hostess stand.
Although we tend to snag a seat without reservations – after the brunch rush – we highly suggest making advanced reservations, especially if you have your heart set on eating here.
More pros and tips for dining at ELDR:
- During the week, enjoy coffee and pastry service, lunch, and dinner
- ELDR Restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (always double-check hours on their website)

They are a terrific go-to spot for casual, fresh, and budget-friendly eats. We especially love their iced lattes, and the handcrafted cocktails are delicious.
For Saturday and Sunday brunch in Asheville, Haywood Common’s menu features huevos rancheros, waffles, sandwiches, yogurt with granola, and salads.
Think chicken biscuits with gravy, Thai buffalo chicken, portobello burgers, tuna or tofu poke, chicken and waffles, egg and hash platters, and avocado toast.
Haywood Common also serves lunch and dinner with menu items like poke bowls, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. For a snack, order boiled peanuts.

More Haywood Common tips:
- Find gluten-free bread and a designated gluten-free fryer (but always double-check this)
- Enjoy cozy but limited seating inside, which grows busier on chilly weekends

If you love people-watching, The Market Place is a great spot for brunch in Downtown Asheville. We highly suggest making advanced reservations if you don’t want a one to two-hour wait, though.
Dining on the outside patio feels a bit like a European cafe. The inside is classy and sleek.
The Market Place has a local and seasonal draft list as well as stellar brunch cocktails. They specialize in farm-to-table American cuisine.

5. La Bodega by Cúrate
Highlights: Spanish Tapas & Wine Bar | Downtown Asheville | Brunch/Lunch Combined | Atmospheric
It’s no surprise that La Bodega by Cúrate (opened in 2022) serves the best brunch in Asheville along with a terrific wine list. Technically, they serve brunch/lunch – which we combine all of the time.
Félix Meana and Chef Katie Button opened this Spanish café, market, and wine bar.
You might recognize them for their famous Spanish restaurant, Cúrate. Cúrate won the 2022 James Beard Award for outstanding hospitality.
Unlike Cúrate, find more moderate as well as budget-friendly prices. We appreciate that diners can try unique wines by the glass without breaking the bank.
Open all day, enjoy that highly curated wine list, Spanish tapas like olives and melons with meat and cheese, and breakfast omelets and sandwiches.
La Bodega’s menu changes seasonally but features dessert croissants, charcuterie, soups, salads, burgers, and of course, Spanish-inspired desserts. They have gluten-free options.
If the menu seems intimidating, especially that wine list, don’t worry. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
Plus, brunch in Asheville never felt so cozy and inviting. Fall in love with those beam ceilings and brick walls.
More great things about La Bodega:
- So far, we’ve never had to wait for a table – although you can make reservations – and La Bodega has downstairs café seating and upstairs table service
- Also downstairs, shop for your favorite meats, cheeses, wines, and olives; this is our personal version of heaven, perfect for making an at-home charcuterie board
- Nearby, grab an iced coffee at The Rhu, another low-key Downtown Asheville brunch spot
- Drop into Lexington Glassworks for gorgeous blown glass creations that you can watch them make
- Devour ice cream sandwiches at Sunshine Sammies – vegan options included
- Park in the Biltmore Garage or pay lots across the street

6. Leo’s House Of Thirst
Highlights: Tapas & Wine Bar | West Asheville | Friday/Saturday Lunch (No brunch menu) | Quaint, Pet-Friendly Patio
Along with La Bodega, Leo’s House of Thirst is one of the best non-traditional brunch places in Asheville that serves wine and tapas. You won’t find plates filled with sausage and eggs.
Instead, order meat and cheese charcuterie – gluten-free crackers are available – olives, deviled eggs, sandwiches, and usually vegan soups.
The menu is smaller but absolutely delicious. Plus, you cannot beat the ambiance.
Sit outside at a picnic table on the lawn (with heaters for fall) under the trees. Inside, find cozy tables and a small bar.
They usually modify gluten-free and dairy-free dishes for us.
Tips for dining at Leo’s House Of Thirst:

Located in the former Collaboratory Brewing building, Bold Rock hosts a Saturday and Sunday Bluegrass brunch with live music.
We always appreciate an Asheville brunch spot where you don’t always need reservations (although you can make them), and their brunch menu specializes in Southern classics.
Select from items like fried chicken with gravy biscuits, burgers, french toast casserole, apple pancakes, and nachos.
For vegan diners, Bold Rock usually has a Beyond Burger option, and find sharables including buffalo wings, fried okra, and loaded fries.
Of course, Bold Rock Downtown has brunch cocktails and cider mimosas.
Tips about Bold Rock in Asheville and Mills River:
- This is a family-friendly space
- As a lactose-intolerant family, it is a bit harder for us to eat here
- Bold Rock also has a cidery location near the Asheville airport. Find a large indoor taproom and outdoor beer garden with a food truck, Bold Bites Mobile Kitchen

Rosetta’s Kitchen is one of the best vegan and vegetarian places for brunch in Asheville. This is vegan soul food, after all.
Even if you aren’t vegan, Rosetta’s Kitchen serves up mouthwatering dishes and specializes in Kombucha with their Buchi Bar.
We crave Rosetta’s chips with vegan queso and mashed potatoes with gravy. Think vegan kimchi and peanut butter tofu. Some of their dishes are spicier than others.
