The Corner Kitchen

Tables dot both floors of the quaint, historic home that is Corner Kitchen, one of several restaurants in the historic Biltmore Village but the only one visited by President Obama. Chefs take full advantage of local provisions when creating the ever-changing menu, which will often house crowd favorites like the pecan-crusted trout and the herb-roasted pork. Like a lot of Asheville chefs, the culinary team at Corner Kitchen keeps the cuisine pretty simple and lets the ingredients speak for themselves without overdoing the preparation but they're never afraid to kick their Pan-American fare up a notch with imaginative reductions and sauces. This is a very popular spot, especially during Biltmore Estate's high seasons in summer and over Christmas. Reservations are highly recommended.
