Cultura

We enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairing as well we’re celebrating a big birthday. Each course was amazing but we especially liked the venison. I enjoyed the boar belly and my husband loved the stuffed squid. The wine pairings were a great addition, I only wish they were listed so I could remember what I had. We will come back at some point and eat from the regular menu.

Had a great experience dining in. Staff are super friendly and responsive to guests needs. Food was delicious and felt elevated. Plenty of cocktail and brews for just about anyone’s needs and even mocktails for those who don’t indulge. The atmosphere was very well decorated and cozy for small groups but very inviting for large groups. Worth a stop when in Asheville. Cheers!!

I had high hopes for this place, and it exceeded my expectations. The food, service, and ambiance were fantastic. My wife and I went for our anniversary. We ordered the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings. The vegetarian options (amuse bouche, root vegetable panna cotta) were among the best items we had. The royal red shrimp and lamb shank were both spicy - which I liked. My wife had the cured boar belly and beef rib, which were much more sweet and savory. Highly recommend the wine pairing, as the selections mated beautifully and the pour sizes were well worth the price. Overall, the best meal I’ve had in Asheville to date!

I have not had a complete dining experience this good in years! Where to start?! The first impression when you walk in is fascinating. The décor from top to bottom is well-thought-out and beautiful. Even the hallway to the bathroom is unexpectedly unique. The service was on-point. Lauren waited on us, and described each dish perfectly. She really helped us make decisions on our food choices and cocktails. And her recommendations were spot-on. That gin cocktail was divine! We had the fermented strawberries and cream for an appetizers and I had the Shakshuka for dinner. Being vegetarian, I was concerned about finding things to eat, but was quite pleasantly surprised with my choices. The flavors in every dish were SO tasty, and the cornbread dessert was the best! I just can't say enough about it. Even the music fit the ambience perfectly. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

If your visiting Asheville NC I highly recommend stopping by Cultura for dinner. Granted you have to make reservations well in advance to make sure you get a table. Cultura has a very fun / hip atmosphere and the food is amazing!! If it’s on the menu when you visit I strongly suggest trying the Honey Dip cocktail. When we went they were offering a 7 course tasting which looked / sounded amazing.. Trust me the place is the 💣

Of all the places we tried in Asheville, this was the winner hands down. We had made reservations for a Friday night as I wanted tot try the tasting menu, and was not let down. This is unpretentious fine dining. Our server was incredibly friendly and chill. They don’t take themselves too serious here as can be the experience with finer dining. The larder and bread service was great! I started off with the pork and chanterelle pie which was like nothing I’ve ever had and was very tasty. My wife got the peach and thyme focaccia and really enjoyed it. I got the dry aged squab which was cooked perfectly this was the only dish I thought could have been improved slightly upon in the sauce/seasoning department. Wife got the fusilli and enjoyed that throughly as well. For the fifth I got the smoked lamb shank tostada which was delicious. My wife got the skate and said the fish was a little bland but she still enjoyed the dish. For the dessert, I got a corn crème brûlée which honestly was a really smart interpretation of the dessert, corn being naturally sweet worked incredibly well. I are the entire thing, and I’m not usually a dessert person. All in all this evening was well worth the price we paid and I would absolutely come back if if I found myself back in Asheville. I highly recommend coming here whether you are a local or in town visiting. Worth going out of your way if you are staying in the greater area.
