Discover Charlotte
Also known as the Queen's City, Charlotte, North Carolina, invites you to dine royally anywhere in town with something delicious for every palate and budget. While Southern and all-American cuisine still reign supreme, you can also find fantastic international fare, too. In South Park, you'll love the well-aged wines, fine French fare or fresh seafood and sushi in cutting-edge settings. The bustling Uptown district can transport you from Tuscany to Japan with its restaurants. For less expensive eats, dig into some classic Carolina fare like barbecue, shrimp and grits or fried chicken, which can be found throughout the city. There's also a reemergence of traditional Appalachian fare, and Charlotte is an ideal place to find classics like cornbread and pinto beans or sweet potato casserole.
