See All Lists
1. The King's Kitchen
King's Kitchen fills many voids in the Charlotte area. First it's a meat & three, which has been long missing since Gus Sir Beef left Latta Arcade years ago. Second it's a GOOD, upscale meat & three which is part of the Noble family of restaurants…More »
2. Press Wine / Food
I am a regular at Press. They really should know my name, but they don't. Bitter, party of one. Well the old manager did, but she left for Soul. Alas. I eat lunch there on a regular basis to enjoy their hummus & tabbouleh wrap (fresh and delish!),…More »
3. Dandelion Market
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 333-7989
Categories:
Bars,
American (New),
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
Dandelion Market probably makes better margins on their lively nightlife, but this wallflower can't say for sure since bedtime's at 10. I can, however, speak to their great lunches.
I first experienced their fantabulous ahi tuna salad with a really…More »
4. Basil
Basil is a nice restaurant with cool decor, but the tables at the back wall are WAY too close together and unfortunately we were seated next to a drunk foul-mouthed group.
However that didn't stop my enjoyment of the wonderful, flavorful Pud See Ew…More »
5. Savor Cafe & Catering
This is a cute little neighborhood spot in Wesley Heights (When on earth is Yelp going to figure out it's right next to downtown, not Steele Creek, 8 miles south?) that did so well with their lunch service that they expanded to dinner service…More »
6. Zoes Kitchen
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 347-5858
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Vegetarian,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Myers Park
I like the analogy that Zoës Kitchen is a greek version of Panera and great standby for those days we don't want to cook but want something quick and healthy. The service is always friendly and they have a very busy bustling lunch but they cycle…More »
7. Vivace
I have been here once for lunch, and once for dinner. I highly recommend Vivace for lunch. Our group really loved the salmon lunch, and their little pizzas. The bread was enjoyable and the prices were very reasonable. 5/5
The restaurant is bright,…More »
8. Crêpe Cellar
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 910-6543
Categories:
Creperies,
American (New),
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: NoDa
Size/ambiance wise, this is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. Weird huh? It just reminds me of my favorite casual neighborhood restaurants/pubs in London, Chicago and San Francisco.
The first time I went with a girlfriend it was a busy stormy…More »
9. Noodles & Company
Charlotte, NC 28201
(704) 334-2980
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Italian,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
I am definitely not a fan of chains, but Noodles & Co (and Zoe's Kitchen) fill that nice low-priced, reliable food void. I had tried Nothing but Noodles which was a horrible experience so I was worried about trying Noodles & Co.
Much to my delight,…More »
10. Bluprint
I would like to give this place 3.5 stars. I have been here several times as it's convenient to work uptown. After a failed attempt at going during their rainy day soft (actually apparently quite hard) opening, I returned to give it a fair shot for…More »
Recently updated lists from Jules S.
Very Veggitastic (12)Top picks when I'm seeking no animal products. Some standouts and standbys: black bean burger at Burger Co, Miser Wat from Meskerem, hummus and baba ghanoush from Kabob Grill and veggie options from Roots Farm Food truck.If on the road, love Neo Burrito in Asheville and Melanie's in Boone. |
Rollin Rollin Rollin (4)Food trucks in the QC |
Queen City dines Around the World (10)Some of my favorite (4 stars+) international restaurants in CLT! All we need now is some Daft Punk bumping Around the World! |
Queen City Cupcakes (8)My list of various places to get cupcakes. I can't say that one place is necessarily the go-to place to get a little morsel of glycemic bliss, but it depends on the flavor. My top 4:Devil's Food Chocolate (or any chocolate one) from Sunflour, 'Smores from EK Cakes, Lemon Raspberry from Tizzerts and Apple Cinnamon from Polka Dot. Cupcrazed review coming soon. |
Where to Lay Your Head (5)Here are a few places I like to hide out from the Po Pos when I'm laying low. |
Who called me HM? (7)My list of places to get pampered, polished, plucked, painted and petted. That sounds dirty. But it's not. Why a painter? Because I'm too HM to do it myself. |
Appalachian Adds (5)My faves in Asheville and around the Appalachian mtns! |
Beady Little Jewelry (4)List of some bead shops across NC |
Where's the Beef? (10)Not here! This is a list for great spots for vegetarians. |
