We definitely were looking forward to eating here and definitely was delicious, but had some duds. The top hits were, octopus, stuffed peppers, mushrooms. The bread, tomato and Manchego was also a solid choice. The beans and sausage a solid B. We love us some creme brulee, but Rosemary Creme brulee was not a great pairing at all. The consistency was good and great topping but Rosemary is not the combo.

This Spanish tapas spot in Asheville truly impressed me. So many people recommended it that I finally went, and it absolutely lived up to everything I had heard. I loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs prepare each dish, and the team behind the bar knew the menu inside out and guided us so well. The place had a lively, energetic feel and every plate we tried was fantastic. We enjoyed every single bite and I cannot wait to visit again.

It’s as good as all the reviews say. A great anniversary dinner with some amazing food – with many local ingredients.All of the tapas were good with some being memorable. The octopus was the best I’ve ever had. I had a farmers cheese, candied walnut and dill dessert that was simply amazing. I still think about it.

Our server was Caroll (spelled that way on the ticket) was incredible. She gave us great recommendations, she knew how everything was prepared and complemented each other, and had stories of how most of the food was sourced. They are the sole importers of a lite buttery Spanish olive oil by a cooperative that is trying to save 100 year old abandoned olive groves in Spain. The table next to us told us they have never seen such an amazing server. The entire staff was excellent, but she was the model of a great server!

Kelsey – our server at the bar was amazing! She was so kind, made sure we had the best experience- even brought out some extra sauces- was attentive and took an honest interest in us and provided truly helpful recommendations. Get the tangy sauce!!
FOOD- so fresh and beautifully presented! Absolutely delicious and we will be back.
It’s season- so highly recommend reservations as they are always packed.

We had an incredible dining experience at Cúrate. From the moment we sat down, the energy of the place and the aroma from the open kitchen set the tone for something special.

We ordered a variety of tapas to share, and every single one was excellent—beautifully prepared, bursting with flavor, and perfectly portioned for sharing. The mix of traditional Spanish favorites and creative new dishes made it a fun and memorable meal.

The service was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us navigate the menu and pair everything just right. With great food, a lively atmosphere, and top-notch hospitality, Cúrate easily ranks as one of Asheville’s must-visit restaurants.

We sat at the bar and were entranced watching the busy kitchen while enjoying delicious tapas and wine. We did the chefs tasting, and while pricey, soooo worth it. The pan con tomate is the perfect start. Iberico ham, sautéed mushrooms, octopus, and roasted stuffed red peppers + grilled lamb. Everything was 10/10.

A friend and I were visiting Asheville and was told this was a must visit. You will need to make a reservation well in advance, I was here in the off season and 3 weeks ahead, the earliest Sunday night reservation was at 7:45pm. The food was delicious and we left satisfied.

I was pleasantly surprised with the cuisine. Being a native, one is challenged by a discerning palate and it is tough on the restaurateurs. We had croquetas de jamón, rabas or calamares a la romana, gambas al ajillo, tortilla española, chistorras, fideuá negra, pimientos de piquillo rellenos and more. We went twice as both my friend and I were impressed with the chef’s talent. Definitely would return, Not too sure about the Gambas as they were more in a lemon sauce rather than olive oil. BTW the oil there is a connoisseur’s delight.
Enjoy.

The service was above and beyond—everyone was attentive and friendly. The food itself was a bit of a hit or miss depending on what you order. The paella, while flavorful, felt overpriced at $26 considering the portion size. On the other hand, the ham bocadillo at $12 was a much better choice. We shared several dishes to try more of the menu: lomo de bellota, papas bravas, pulpo a la gallega, lamb skewers, and croquetas de jamón. Unfortunately, all of our food arrived at room temperature, which was disappointing since the dishes would’ve tasted much better served hot. Overall, great service and a nice experience, but some dishes stood out more than others.
