Curate in Asheville, North Carolina

On our way back from Myrtle Beach, we only had time for one meal in Asheville and we made it count.  Curate is an amazing tapas bar in the downtown area.  Absolutely a 5 star option in you're in town, and probably the best tapas I've had anywhere thus far.  Check out some of their offerings below.

Curate is in a part of downtown Asheville a lot like NuLu in Louisville.

Now you're up to speed.

The atmosphere is actually pretty comfortable.  We were seated in the back where it was a little less cramped than the front area seen here.

The stylish decor in the back.

This beer was a collaboration with the nearby Wicked Weed Brewing Company.  Quite good.

Part of the menu.  Two people can realistically eat and drink for about $40 plus tip.  That would be three food items and two beers, which was enough for two hungry lads.

Pincho muruno - lamb skewers in moorish spices with homemade pickles.  Pretty incredible.

Bocadillo catalan.  A sausage sandwich with boldly sweet and spicy flavors.

A sauteed spinach salad with apples, raisins and pine nuts.  Loved this as well.
