Over the years, we’ve known the bliss of sampling many of Asheville’s wonderful restaurants. One of our favorites is Zambra, a Spanish eatery on Walnut Street downtown, just around the corner from Malaprops, the popular bookstore and café. When you visit our Lovers’ Loop Retreat, an Asheville bed and breakfast alternative, Zambra is an easy 10-minute drive.
Zambra serves tapas, which are appetizer-size dishes. For us, eating at Zambra is like visiting an art museum—the range of flavors and ingredients is amazingly refreshing and creative, as if each item on the menu is its own miniature work of art. On the menu, you may find pomegranate with pork; scallops with grapefruit, avocado and fennel; octopus with pesto, feta and cherries; quail with dates and onions; pork with cucumber-watermelon salad; veal with apricot, feta and mint; mussels with coconut and mango. It’s a real circus for the taste buds. And Zambra always offers tasty vegetarian choices.
Treat yourself to a mouthwatering meal with creativity at Zambra when you stay at our Asheville vacation rental.
Lovers’ Loop Retreat offers an option that some of our guests enjoy – cooking in our guest suite or ordering take-out and enjoying your meal in your own private dining area, complete with kitchenware. So, whether you’re geared up for a night on the town, including dinner or not, or after a long day of seeing all there is around Asheville you just want a quiet evening at home, Lovers’ Loop Retreat can meet your needs.
