Cafe on the Square is slated to re-open this week after extensive renovations to its downtown Asheville dining space. The celebrity hangout closed last month to revamp the front-of-the-house. According to a staffer, the plan was to “make things look a little prettier.” A new menu is slated to debut with the new decor.
Among the Grove Park Inn‘s most accomplished guests next week will be Phillipe Lamarque and Jean-Francois Bordet, two French winemakers traveling all the way to Asheville to present “Un Soir de Vin Francais,” the third in a series of wine dinners at the Sunset Terrace. Lamarque, the co-owner of the award-winning Chateau Puynormond Montagne Saint-Emilion, and Bordet, whose family has been growing grapes in Chablis since the 16th century, will match their wines to a menu of exotic seafood and wild game. The cost for the feast, which starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22, is $100 per person. Call (800) 438-5800 for reservations.
Chorizo, Hector Diaz’s latest restaurant, opened this month in Asheville’s Grove Arcade. The restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, features a tequila bar and a pan-Latin menu heavy with the namesake spicy pork sausage.
