Cúrate Bar de Tapas

Chefs like Katie Button of Cúrate, Meherwan Irani of Chai Pani, and William Dissen of The Market Place have established Asheville as a culinary destination, blending regional traditions with inventive flavors. Asheville’s farm-to-table movement began long before the concept was trendy, with Mark Rosenstein opening The Market Place in 1979 as one of the pioneers. In 2009, chef William Dissen took over the restaurant, maintaining the ethos of working with local purveyors—and the restaurant was nominated for a James Beard award for Outstanding Restaurant this year, its 45th year in business.

Curate is often credited with placing Asheville on America’s dining map. Stepping into acclaimed chef Katie Button’s restaurant — with its vermouth bar and charcuterie station — is like stepping into a family restaurant in a small Spanish town. Button and husband Felix Meana — with mentoring from the likes of José Andrés and Ferran Adria — serve cochinillo (roasted suckling pig), traditional paellas and a killer selection of papa el aperitivo (snacks) like latas (premium Spanish tin seafood), montaditos (small bites on toast points) and gilda (anchovy, olive and piparra pinchos).

Chef Katie Button is the engine behind Cúrate, a Spanish tapas restaurant inside a stylishly redone 1920s bus depot that received the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Hospitality in 2022. Born in South Carolina and raised in New Jersey, Button draws inspiration from her family’s Southern roots, her experience working with José Andrés in D.C., and her time spent at world-renowned El Bulli in Spain. After 14 years in Asheville, Button believes a dish’s uniqueness is what elevates it.

High-end tapas spot Cúrate was one of the restaurants that put Asheville’s food scene on the map when it opened in 2011. This retrofitted 1920s bus depot has a magnificent marble bar and open kitchen where you can watch dishes like gambas al ajillo, fried eggplant, and rossejat get prepared in real-time. If you can’t manage a reservation (they’re notoriously difficult) or are dining with a larger group, head around the corner to La Bodega, Cúrate’s all-day pintxo and wine bar.

If you have the blahs, Cúrate, with its extraordinary authentic tapas and fun atmosphere (they won the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Hospitality—in the country) is the cure. The kitchen showcases the flavors of Spain over two dozen snacks and small plates, with special attention to cured Iberian ham dishes and seafood such as octopus and calamari.

Owned by hip Ashevillian chef Katie Button and her Catalan husband Félix, this convivial downtown hangout celebrates the simple charms and sensual flavors of Spanish tapas, while adding an occasional Southern...

Cúrate Bar de Tapas serves traditional Spanish tapas, jamón Iberico and a wide range of Spanish sangria, cider and sherry.

Food & Wine Best New Chef Katie Button's James Beard Award-winning Cúrate (13 Biltmore Ave) is a perfect pre-dinner spot, or settle in for dinner at La Bodega by Cúrate (32 S. Lexington Ave.), Button's all-day Spanish café, market, and wine bar.. "We wanted to do what we do, but better," says Button, of the space featuring a tap wall of vermouth, sherry, red sangria and cider, as well as a Jamoneria station. For a proper vermouth experience, Button suggests ordering exactly this: the gilda (anchovy, olive and piparra) to start, pan de cristal con tomate (tomato bread that will forever linger in your imagination), a selection of cured Spanish ham that will melt in your mouth and cockles with Bonilla à la Vista potato chips from Spain and obviously a vermouth beverage.

Besides being a longtime Asheville sensation and winner of the 2022 James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Hospitality, Cúrate is an ideal spot to sample authentic Spanish tapas and vermutería culture without having to hop on a jet to Europe. Jamón ibérico—ham from acorn-fattened Spanish Ibérico pigs—is one of the shining stars of executive chef Katie Button’s menu, but perennial favorites like the berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant drizzled in local and garnished with rosemary), patatas bravas (crispy fried potatoes with tomato and garlic sauce), and the sea-essenced rossejat (paella-style noodles with squid, squid ink, shellfish stock, garlic, and salsa verde) are also exceptional.

The tapas bar that launched the mini Spanish empire in town is helmed by James Beard-nominated chef Katie Buttons and her husband Felix Meana, whose bright, bustling space in a 1920s bus depot on the main drag remains a hot ticket more than a decade after its debut. A great place to bring friends for Spanish favorites — jamon, patatas bravas, and setas washed down with a great selection of vermouths — the seasonal menu is reliably unexpected, exciting, punchy, and very shareable. If you can’t score a reservation at Cúrate, their new spot, La Bodega by Cúrate right around the corner, is a great all-day spot for tapas, daily specials, cocktails, and take-home Spanish comestibles.

Tapas-style eating can be a great fit if you prefer to eat less or almost no gluten. While wheat-based bread is definitely popular in Spain, many of the traditional tapas, or small plates, offered at Asheville’s Cúrate restaurant are designated as gluten-free because there is simply no wheat or bread product included. Spanish cuisine places a premium on fresh ingredients, and while they are seasoned, many of the dishes let the high-quality produce, meat, or fish play the primary role: sample pimientos de piquillo relleno, savory peppers stuffed with goat cheese, or vieiras, a dish of delicious scallops with charred leeks and confit potatoes to round out the flavors.

In a repurposed 1920s bus depot in the heart of downtown Asheville, Curate dishes up small-plate tapas fare to a loyal following of locals who grab a stool at the bar or settle in for group dinners on velvet banquettes in the narrow dining room. Essential orders include the delicately spiced patatas bravas (crispy potatoes) and jamon iberico (cured ham), plus the whole grilled trout and shareable suckling pig. Pastry chef Carmen Vaquera gets creative with desserts, serving a merengue de “gin & tonic” (gin-soaked berries with torched meringue and tonic snow) and a flan de huevo (orange-saffron flan served with caramel and sherry-poached raisins).

This sprawling tapas bar located in the thick of things in Asheville is hard to miss, thanks to the buzz around the door for hard-to-snag reservations. The clambering is thanks to upscale Spanish plates crafted under the leadership of entrepreneur and chef Katie Button, such as skewers of anchovies, olives and Spanish piparra peppers, or bits of eggplant, fried and sweetened, that taste like funnel cake. The waitstaff helps pair dishes with sparkling sangrias and hard-to-find sherries from Andalusia, leading the restaurant to win the coveted outstanding hospitality prize at the James Beard Awards last year.

Make a bar-side reservation at Katie Button’s Cúrate (pronounced “coo-rah-tay”) to watch chefs prepare intricate Spanish tapas that will make your taste buds dance the flamenco. The long dual-language menu overwhelms at first, but take your time and order as you go. The berenjenas la taberna (fried eggplant with honey and rosemary) makes a great starter, and don’t miss the esqueixada de montaña (raw trout served on a bed of tomato with lemon vinaigrette). Save room for dessert — the espuma de chocolate (chocolate mousse, raspberry sorbet and hazelnut praline) is worth every calorie.

Cúrate has been considered an Asheville favorite for over a decade and is serving authentic Spanish cuisine including classic tapas and cured meats in a lively atmosphere. Located in what was once a 1927 bus depot, Cúrate is certainly an eccentric and memorable experience for any guest that chooses to dine here for its high-quality food and service. Closed Monday but open every other day of the week, this restaurant features a menu that changes with the seasons and a wine list that has been listed as one of America’s 50 Wine Restaurants We Love in 2011 by Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

Rev up with an early lunch at Cúrate, helmed by Katie Button, a four-time James Beard-nominated chef and alum of Spain's late Michelin Star-laden elBulli restaurant. Button's rustic-chic eatery is known for its Spanish trappings, like a jamón carving station and vermouths on tap. Sample a bright, dry vermouth alongside an ambrosia-scented sweet variety, or see what happens when it's infused with cranberry and chestnuts and mixed in a Manhattan.This being the South, driving is the modus operandi.

High-end tapas spot Cúrate was one of the restaurants that put Asheville’s food scene on the map when it opened in 2011. This retrofitted 1920s bus depot has a magnificent marble bar and open kitchen where you can watch dishes like gambas al ajillo, fried eggplant, and rossejat get prepared in real-time. If you can’t manage a reservation (they’re notoriously difficult) or are dining with a larger group, head around the corner to La Bodega, Cúrate’s new all-day pintxo and wine bar.

Chef Katie Button's Spanish tapas bar, Cúrate, is a long-standing star in Asheville's food scene and has gained much attention for its thoughtful small plates, traditional paella, and expert service. In 2022, the restaurant received the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Hospitality. Come with friends and share a selection of Spanish classics over sangria; don't miss the authentic, hand-cut jamón ibérico, head-on Mediterranean prawns, and Basque vermouth on tap.

Despite her battles with insurers, Button’s Cúrate tapas bar remains a bustling place, filled with happy diners tucking into thin slices of ibérico shoulder, patatas bravas (fried potatoes drizzled with a piquant tomato sauce), escalivada (Catalan-style roasted vegetables) and an excellent version of Basque cheesecake, the intentionally burnt top contrasting with the creamy interior, garnished with an oat crumble and the bright notes of macerated strawberries.

Out of the dozens, maybe hundreds, of times I’ve been to Cúrate, there’s one single visit where things didn’t go perfect. While we had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time, a manager came over with a free round of appetizers, a ton of apologies, and a reminder of one of the things that makes this place special. Chef and owner Katie Button has infused her restaurant with Southern hospitality just as much as she has authentic Spanish recipes.

Beyond the award-winning Spanish tapas by chef Katie Button, a Food & Wine Best New Chef of 2015, Curate offers a crazy cider-sipping experience out of a carafe with a spout (aka porron in Spanish). And yes, it takes some practice, so don’t feel bad if you miss your mouth completely or it dribbles down your face, like it did mine. Hot tip: the faster you tip it up, the better chance for the liquid to hit your mouth—instead of your cheek or chin.

Asheville is renowned for its food scene and one place that several locals I spoke to suggested was Cúrate. Naturally, we had to try it out for ourselves, even if it meant nabbing first-come-first-served seats at the bar since reservations are required at this Asheville culinary hotspot. The best seat in the house is arguably the bar, as you get a front-row seat to watch the cooks work their magic in the kitchen.

This authentic Spanish tapas restaurant takes service seriously — so much so that it recently won the James Beard Hospitality Award. The patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo ( garlic shrimp in sherry broth), and piquillo peppers ( peppers stuffed with spanish goat cheese) are executed to perfection.

Irani was tapped by Food & Wine to their 2023 Game Changers List, which recognizes only 15 people and companies changing the way we eat and drink.

A friend tried to talk me out of going to Nightbell for dinner; she believed it was more of a late-night bar. I’m glad I didn’t follow her advice.
