LA BODEGA BY CÚRATE

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. 

At lunch, favorites include bocadillos built on housemade baguettes, a cult-status hamburger with local beef and Ibérico pork, seasonal salads and soup. As the menu transitions to dinner, masterful pintxo and charcutería spreads are accentuated with Spanish-inspired small plates like pescadito frito, fried anchovies with lemon and a bright, green peppercorn mayo, or costillas, fall-off-the-bone tender pork ribs coated in salsa kalimotxo. Each day’s plato del dia, a rotating dish of the day, is reminiscent of the daily specials listed on sidewalk menu boards throughout Spain and includes classics like paella on Wednesdays and huevos rotos on Saturdays. For the intrepid, The La Bodega Experience tasting menu guides guests through a delightful, completely curated experience. 

A cornerstone of the La Bodega by Cúrate concept is connecting guests to the world of Spanish wine, both through the wine bar and the market downstairs. Beyond wine, the beverage menu features Spanish-inspired cocktails, exciting non-alcoholic options, as well as a full range of Counter Culture espresso-based drinks. 

Not just for weekends and date nights, La Bodega by Cúrate inspires guests to savor small moments every day.
