Where to find brunch in downtown Asheville

Asheville brunch usually means a line and a cutoff time. Brü works differently: we're at 5 Biltmore Ave, one block off Pack Square, and the kitchen serves the same full menu from the moment we open at 8:00am until the doors close at 3:00pm.

That makes us an easy fit for early hikers heading to the Blue Ridge Parkway, late risers coming off a night on the South Slope, and anyone who wants eggs at 2pm without an argument. Walk-ins get a seat at the bar; tables can be reserved by calling (828) 412-3364.

The kitchen buys from Western North Carolina farms, so the produce on your plate is genuinely local and the menu shifts with the season. Pair it with espresso from our coffee bar or one of 8 rotating Asheville drafts.
