A must for those traveling to Asheville, and a favorite of the North Carolina locals, Savoy features a Mediterranean-spiced menu that puts a tasty spin on American favorites. The fresh food—the only freezer on the premises is for their homemade ice cream, so we’ll let that slide—is 80 percent organic with a “farm to table” lunch and dinner menu that ranges from Carolina bison short ribs to local line-caught trout. Get intimate at the bar with small plates and their diverse wine selection and signature martini list. Yellow cake martini? Make it a double.
