CÚRATE BAR DE TAPAS

Experience the essence of Spain in downtown Asheville! Housed in a renovated 1920s bus depot, Cúrate offers traditional Spanish tapas in a warm and lively atmosphere with an open kitchen. in 2022, Cúrate, helmed by Katie Button & Felix Meana, received the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Hospitality.

For those who have visited Spain, the Cúrate menu will bring back memories of the country’s best jamón Ibérico, vermuterías, and lively tapas culture. In recognition of the restaurant’s all-Spanish wine list, Cúrate was listed as one of America’s 50 Wine Restaurants We Love in 2021 by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Cúrate means ‘cure yourself’ in Spanish, reflecting the belief that there are curative effects in sharing good food and wine with family and friends.

We are overjoyed to announce that @curatetapasbar and @labodegabycurate are combining forces to  re-open for dinner this Friday, October 18th in Cúrate’s original dining room at 11 Biltmore Avenue. We will be serving a limited dine-in menu of Cúrate and La Bodega by Cúrate favorites every Tuesday-Sunday from 5pm-9pm, with beer, wine and an abbreviated cocktail selection.

Like many businesses in the area, Katie Button Restaurants has had to furlough most of our hourly employees. Therefore, 100% of tips from service will be allocated to the Katie Button Restaurants Employee Relief Fund to distribute to our hourly staff members.

A hand-selected assortment of Cúrate at Home products and gift sets will also be available for purchase while you dine. Shopping with Cúrate At Home is a great way to support our businesses from here and afar during this period of limited operations.

We look forward to welcoming you back! Reservations are now available on Resy, and walk-ins are encouraged!
A team of our amazing employees have launched a GoFundMe to support the Katie Button Restaurants, Cúrate, and La Bodega by Cúrate hourly teams during this time of incredible need.  These funds will go a long way to provide recovery resources for our team members after the devastating effects on their lives from Hurricane Helene. We encourage you to support them if means allow. We have added a link to this GoFundMe to our Link In Bio.

Our beloved Asheville and surrounding Western North Carolina region have been devastated by the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Helene. After reaching their highest levels in recorded history, the French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers are still receding. Many of our communities continue to struggle and remain cut off from the outside world due to the damage caused by hurricane winds, resulting in severe flooding, landslides, and downed trees.

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support and love from everyone! Please continue to support our community.
Daily Dispatch from the Cúrate World Central Kitchen Hub:

First off, we are so touched by the incredible overflow of supportive words and responses we have received since yesterday’s post! The power of our community both here and beyond has been truly overwhelming and continues to motivate us to maintain momentum in our efforts to serve the community.

The Cúrate, La Bodega by Cúrate, and Katie Button Restaurants employees are in overdrive mode producing meals to be distributed through World Central Kitchen. Yesterday, we were able to dispatch 500 meals to our community, and are on schedule to send out over 856 meals today. This has allowed us the incredible fortune to bring back as many staff members as are able to safely find transportation to come back to work at a living wage to assist with meal preparation and packaging. Their positivity and enthusiasm has been truly inspirational, as you can see from this video.

Please note: to those that have asked, we are not taking community volunteers at this time in order to provide paid employment to our current staff. If you are a restaurant or catering that wished to donate food, we ARE taking donations.

If you would like to contribute financial support, please email helenedonations@buncombecounty.org ). Money that is donated through this channel is assured to be distributed back into our community to continue aid efforts. We are including additional information in the comments about how you can help.

Our goal tomorrow is to hit over 1000 meals/day, and then expand our operations to La Bodega by Cúrate later this week as more staff becomes available.

We will continue to keep you updated daily on our situation and progress! Thank you, again, for your support. We look forward to welcoming you back into the restaurants when we are able.
Stay safe out there, Asheville!
Due to severe weather warnings, @curatetapasbar and @labodegabycurate will be closed today for the safety of our staff and patrons.⁠

We hope everyone stays safe and dry out there! We’ll see you once the storm passes!
Ven a almorzar at Cúrate ! ⁠(Come have lunch!)⁠
⁠
In Spain, lunch is often referred to simply as “la comida” (the food), as this large, midday spread is a staple of the day and generally considered a Spaniard’s “most important meal”. You can generally expect to enjoy five to six dishes for lunch… which may also be why the Lunch hour is immediately followed by siesta.⁠
⁠
At Cúrate, while we may not serve a “Menu del Día” for el almuerzo, our full menu is served all day every Friday - Sunday from 11am - 10:30pm for you to order. Choose your own adventure or let your server take the lead and put together the perfect meal for your party. And if you’re looking to dine like a true Catalan, partake in our ever-popular “Spanish Experience”: a personalized menu of traditional Catalan dishes handpicked by Felix and Katie.⁠
⁠
Our weekend lunch hours are a great way for both locals and out-of-towners to beat the evening crowds and enjoy a stress-free meal from our Spanish kitchen. Join us for a classic Spanish dining experience!⁠
