“ I was thrilled to see Bull and Beggar reopening after Helene did all of her nonsense in the RAD. Then, I got to be thrilled because I scored a spot at the bar for me and My Lady for Valentine's Day. The feeling in the room was if no stupid hurricane had ever ruined things. The food was as good as ever. The oysters and beef tartare stole the show, but the escargot and the pumpkin risotto made strong cases. The bread was magnificent, which is not something I say lightly. Bread is sacred and it really has to be amazing for me to use the M word. Best of all, the service was perfect - friendly but hands off enough for us to enjoy our time together. Just right. So glad they are back. ”

“ Forgot to take a photo of the spot, but I think other people captured it well. Tucked away next to the wedge with plenty of parking most nights, this little date night spot is great for friends or partners. We wondered in here around dinner time on a Friday and we're lucky enough to find that there was a spot available. I wouldn't chance it again unless you were flexible because this is certainly a spot that is popular for reservations. We were seated upstairs, which she was a ICU of the people below. The service was wonderful the whole time throughout. I got a lovely glass of Grenache to start. The cocktail, my friend ordered l took quite a while, but it was strong and delicious when it did arrive. I opted for the aubergine and found myself with a gigantic cast-iron of bubbling cheese and vegetables. I could've skipped the green olives on top, but when mixed together it all tasted delicious. Definitely not a place you would go if you're on a budget but a delightful evening splurge for sure. It was a great experience with lovely service and food. ”

“ We had heard about this place for a couple of years and finally decided to give it a try - and we were NOT disappointed! For the first round, we had three different types of oysters, all of which were a perfect 5/5. For the second course, we enjoyed the steak tartare. It came as three large mounds on toasted bread and was incredibly creamy. For the 3rd course we had the heirloom tomato & burratta salad. Very fresh. For our entrées, we sampled three different dishes. The Steak Frites was bursting with flavor - simply delicious. The fries were also perfect. The Black Cod was like butter, served with a beautiful bean sauce. Lastly, the Crespelle Florentina was unique and tasty. The service was excellent and very attentive. This restaurant will definitely be on our top 10 Asheville list. ”

“ Excellent food, great vibe, and our server Robin was top notch! Food was well prepared and great flavors. ”

“ I had the steak frites and the filet was expertly cooked medium. I was very impressed with the seasoning and the cook. Will be back for this steak which is top end of what I've found in Asheville. The parking lot is filled with pot holes and the exterior of the place is not very inviting. Arrived at open and hostess was concerned with my seat at the bar. Reservations may be necessary on prime evenings. ”

“ The Bull and the Beggar is very hard to find, but well worth the effort. Matthew is an excellent bartender and server. It is a great place for date night. The ambiance is romantic and charming. The food is delicious, though we found the menu limiting. Overall, a high end date night experience. ”

“ The owner Drew set us up for my son's engagement dinner February 24th . We had a group of 15 and our service , chefs selection and drinks were impeccable. We love the atmosphere and can't wait to celebrate with you at your location again at our next visit ! Sincerely , Dawn Whitt ”

“ Enjoyed dining at Bull & Beggar twice in one weekend! Loved sitting at the high top window bar seats and received friendly and professional service. Cocktails were exquisitely crafted and definitely different than your average drink. I really enjoyed the Lechoro; (TEQUILA, MEZCAL, LEMON, HONEY, GINGER, TURMERIC). It's a very strong cocktail and I loved it. The salad with blue cheese and GIANT homemade croutons is such a star; I had it a few years ago and knew I had to get it again when I came back. I'm so happy that it's exactly the same except the croutons were much bigger this time around and are not bite sized. Makes it a bit awkward to enjoy in the salad but they're so tasty, salty and crunchy I didn't care and ate them with my hands without shame. The oysters were fresh and luxurious. Called in early right after opening time the next day and ordered the same salad, some appetizers and a dessert to go. Bull & Beggar has definitely become a favorite when visiting Asheville; looking forward to coming back again this fall! ”

“ Our Farewell dinner in Asheville was at the famous The Bull and the Beggar. Our wait person, Bear made sure that my duck confit was crispy to my obsessive liking! My Partner's pumpkin ricotta and leek pie had flavors that danced off his plate ,right into his mouth. The ambiance was earthy and exquisite . From the moment you walk through the door you just know you're right where you should be. ”
