Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Asheville’s food is absurdly good. One of the most common reactions to saying “I go to school near Asheville” is “you must eat really well.” Vegetarians and vegans will find their home at Rosetta’s and the Laughing Seed, and omnivores will be shocked at how delicious veggie options are. Thai Basil, Mela’s Indian cuisine, and Wasabi satisfy the Eastern flavor, and the Brew and View makes the best pizza in town. Tupelo Honey is a tourist favorite for good reason. Coffee shops are simply everywhere. Izzy’s is the local hipster hangout, Green Sage is a great first date spot, the Dripolator is the perfect study location, and Firestorm tends to be packed with anarchists with wildly interesting life stories.

What makes all of this even more mouth-watering is that many (if not most) Asheville eateries are locally-owned and use responsible business practices—local food, ethically grown meat, organic produce, fair living wages, and composting. You’ll be hard pressed to run out of options for eating out downtown.

Downtown Ashville

Taking the bus into Downtown Ashville is VERY convenient. There is no bus fair for Warren Wilson student as long as you show your ID card and the ride is about 10-15 minutes. In Downtown there is a wide variety of food, from Indian food to Oriental to French to even Tibetan cuisine. A dinner or lunch for one person is very reasonable between 10-25 dollars. I personally love the Noodle Shop right off main street. If you like Chinese, food that is the place to go. They have every kind of soup and they even have vegan meal options on their menu! Chai-Pani is also a really good place to go that is reasonably priced. It's a little Indian restaurant that has the best curry in town!

Off Campus Dining...

At Warren Wilson, there are surrounding areas that have tons of places to eat and hang out, whether it is 11:00 A.M. or 9:00 P.M.. However, the buses are completely unreliable, and freshman on campus cannot have a car, so plan carefully how much time you really have to spend waiting at a bus stop just to get some off-campus food.
