A new soul food restaurant, Benne on Eagle honors the African-American roots of Appalachian cooking & pays homage to the history of the Block. Yum!
Southern/African cuisine. Amazing spices! Sit at the bar and watch them cook. Just like being on the set of a cooking show!
Benne celebrates Asheville's black culture and it's influence on our social and culinary history. James Beard award winning Chef John Fleer is head chef and owner, and he chose black mentors, "The Legends" (look for their portraits on the feature wall in the restaurant), to help him shape the recipes and menu that has won Benne acclaim from all over.
