La Bodega by Cúrate is a Spanish restaurant, market and bakery in Asheville, North Carolina. For visitors and locals alike, La Bodega brings the feeling of a European cafe to the mountains, a respite from the busy bustle of downtown, tucked on a quiet street behind Cúrate.
The charming, casual nature of La Bodega is a window to daily life in Spain. For owners Katie Button & Felix Meana, this means sharing the morning tradition of a housemade croissant and perfect cortado, finding time for a leisurely lunch, meeting up with friends for la hora del aperitivo, and enjoying dinner alongside sips of superbly paired wine.
The menu, imagined by Chef de Cuisine Matt Brown, is a creative ode to thoughtfully sourced ingredients, highlighting flavors that build on one another until a seemingly simple dish becomes a complex discovery of bold tastes.
