Chestnut

Chestnut is an American restaurant located in the heart of downtown Asheville. We serve Dinner daily. Our style would best be described as eclectic American.

Conveniently located across from Aloft Hotel and Biltmore Ave Parking Garage, Chestnut is where downtown Asheville comes for creative cuisine and craft cocktails. There is EASY parking right across the street from us beneath the aloft hotel in a public parking deck. You drive behind the aloft and enter there. The first hour is FREE.

Yesterday took a quick trip over to to check out some produce for the the upcoming 2024 Farm to Table celebration.

Bounty and Soul is a non-profit that provides free produce markets in Black Mountain. Every year Bounty and Soul has a Fram to Table celebration where local chefs get paired with local farmers to make a delicious dish using the fresh ingredients from the farms. We couldn’t be more excited to be paired with for the second year in a row 🌾🥕💐🍅🚜
