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.

Lamb skewers hands down the best dish on the menu. Everyone raves about the pork shoulder but ours came out over seasoned, over done and for $38 that's just disappointing.
The asparagus salad and sauteèd greens were quite good.
Skip the olives and cheese board as both were disappointing. Save it for the basque cheese cake as it was delightful with the stawberry sorbèt.
Overall felt there were missed opportunities to really make some of these dishes shine.
DEFINITELY make a reservation here, I've stopped by before on a typical Asheville outing, and they were at a 2 hour wait for a seat, so plan ahead. As always, parking in downtown Asheville on a weekend can be tricky, so I would always suggest Uber first, but if you must drive, park in one of the decks for easy access.
FYI - There is no charge for metered spaces after 6 pm on Monday through Saturday, or all day Sunday. But these can be super hard to find.
What other options are available if we aren’t comfortable with dine-in? If you are unable to secure a reservation, or if you aren’t yet comfortable with dining out, try La Bodega by Cùrate – cafe, Spanish market and wine bar.
