A short drive from Asheville, NC, or Greenville, SC, the city of Hendersonville offers a remarkable array of dining selections. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a reputation for down-home Southern cooking, the restaurants in this region always surprise diners. Watching your pizza cook in a glass-and-mosaic tiled oven or grabbing a New York-style bagel or freshly baked bialy can only be topped by actually tasting options at any of the dozens of eateries that cater to all tastes. BBQ or Southern soul food, farm-to-table or vegetarian cuisine, Mexican tacos or tapas, Japanese sushi, Irish pub fare and several American-style burger joints abound. Coffee shops, cafes and fine dining establishments also contribute to Hendersonville’s diverse offerings.
