See All Lists
1. Savor Cafe & Catering
Tucked into a little space on the side of a building (though it has recently doubled in size), this cafe in the shadow of uptown is the home of pure deliciousness served with a healthy dose of Southern charm.
Throw your calorie budget out the window…More »
2. Fern
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 377-1825
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
A vegan and vegetarian restaurant with the creativity and skill to make meatless dining easy and enjoyable? Yes, please!
The wife and I dipped in for lunch yesterday and had a great experience, on the whole. Decor is fittingly "fresh" with the live…More »
3. Dish
Ahh Dish, there's something about a place that mixes a Southern Grandma's charm with a tattoed-hipster vibe in the trendy neighborhood of Plaza Midwood. Patterned plastic tablecloths and floral-themed china plates hung on the wall contrast with a…More »
4. Bonterra Restaurant & Wine Room
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 333-2433
Categories:
American (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
Went here for dinner last night with a corporate account where the intent was to entertain and fully explore the menu, prices not an obstacle. We got the private room experience with the table down in the wine cellar and, while totally separated…More »
5. Halcyon Flavors from the Earth
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 910-0865
Categories:
Tapas/Small Plates,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Uptown
This local farm to table concept by the folks at Something Classic, located at the front of the new uptown Mint Museum, is a new gem in the Queen City's crown. Flavorful and well-prepared local ingredients shine throughout the menu.
Let me begin with…More »
6. Bistro La Bon
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 333-4646
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
If nothing else, Bistro gets my vote for Charlotte's ugly duckling award. Who knew a strip mall best known for it's Dollar General and its proximity to the train tracks could turn out such a pleasant little restaurant with the promise to become…More »
7. Customshop Handcrafted Food
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 333-3396
Categories:
American (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
Having had a handful of dinners here and now (most recently) a stop in for brunch, this intimate restaurant remains near the top of my list for upscale places to visit with foodie friends and out of town guests. While partially subscribing to the…More »
8. Carpe Diem Restaurant & Caterers
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 377-7976
Categories:
American (New),
Caterers,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
This fine restaurant deserves 5 stars if for no other reason than the hands-down most artistic and romantic ambiance in the entire Metrolina region. Seriously, I feel like I'm sitting in Bilbo Baggins' hobbit hole with all the bowed wood and twisted…More »
9. Harvest Moon Grille
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 342-1193
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
Like so many others before me, I had high hopes for this place given it's commendable food truck heritage, but I regret to report that (as of last week) things have not changed and there still is nothing that shines about breakfast here. It goes to…More »
10. 15 North Roadside Kitchen - CLOSED
Charlotte, NC 28209
(704) 919-0003
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: South Park
Made it over here for dinner this past weekend and actually got in without a reservation on a Saturday night with only a 15-17 minute wait, which was not bad and gave us a good chance to check out the bar. Nice beer selection, though they were out…More »
11. Pinky's Westside Grill
So I dropped in here for lunch this week with the wife to see what all the fuss was about. Having followed all the drama in the paper about what this place to become and how it almost became the "new" Penguin, I figured it was time for a taste test…More »
12. Lang Van Vietnamese
This is, hands down, my favorite hidden hole-in-the-wall in Charlotte. The problem is, it's not that big a secret anymore. Pull up any evening and see the yuppie smattering of BMWs and SUVs lining the parking spaces at the front of this little…More »
13. Sunflour Baking Company
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 900-5268
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
Combining two of the hottest trends in in food right now- artisan baking and local sourcing of ingredients, it seems like Sunflour ought to hit the mark. In my opinion, it sure does.
This sunny shop is just around the corner from my house, so I had a…More »
14. Thai Taste
Simply put, this is the best Thai in Charlotte. Nothing too fancy, just a lot of the basics done consistently and without unnecessary frills. This is like that little unassuming hole in the wall that you almost have to know about before you're…More »
15. Luna's Living Kitchen
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 333-0008
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian,
Live/Raw Food
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
Stopped here for lunch today after reading great reviews from my fellow Yelpers. Proud to say I let my inner tree hugger shine thru and got down with the Good Earth and all her nutty, sprouty, legumy goodness. Luckily, Luna's made it easy.
As noted…More »
16. Lupie's Cafe
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 374-1232
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
I had to look back at my profile because I could've sworn that I had reviewed this venerable Charlotte Institution. This is THE gold standard for comfort food in all of Charlotte and it's been just that for many years now. That's the beauty of…More »
17. The King's Kitchen
Mmmm... Southern comfort food served up under the watchful eye of restauranteur Jim Noble and located right in the heart of uptown. Additionally, the restaurant is a non-profit where 100% of profits goes to feed the local needy and servers are folks…More »
18. Three Amigos Mexican Restaurant and Cantina
Dropped in here on a big ole' Unofficial Yelper Field Trip to conduct a little reconnaissance on the current state of affairs of this little restaurant that could. After sampling the wares, Three Amigos needs to change its name 'cause it just gained…More »
Recently updated lists from Will H.
I'll Bake You a Pizza Pie (5)A pizza revolution is underway as more and more people discover the goodness of hand-crafted dough combined with a galaxy of ingredients that span far beyond pepperoni and mozzarella. Here are my picks for the best artisan pizzas in Charlotte. |
Wine Time in Crown Town (8)... and the wine flows like poetry, even in bank town. Forget shopping at the mass markets, for the best vino these are my go to stores for great wine by the glass, or the bottle. |
Awesome Asheville (7)One of the benefits of living in Charlotte is easy access to the mountains and all the fun to explore there. Here are some of my favorite finds in and around Asheville. |
My Asian Persuasions in the Queen City (7)Maybe I wasn't born in the Far East, but don't tell that to my taste buds as I have a serious crush on Asian-style cuisines. Here's Charlotte's best offerings where it comes time for curries, stir fry, rice noodles and sushi. |
Bagel on the Table (5)We are not New York, but Charlotte has a few spots where you can nosh on some big time carb rings to get your day started. Some are chains, but there are a few local spots where the dough is made in-house. This list captures the best. |
Endearing Elizabeth (14)Since this is my 'hood it would only be appropriate that I extoll its virtues to the uninitiated. From casual to fine dining, there's plenty of tasty finds within the Elizabeth Community. |
The New Selwyn (2)Who says all the action is in the suburbs? Selwyn Avenue, tucked into Myers Park, has recently seen a resurgence with a number of new and interesting shops that make uptown living downtown cool. |
