Cuisine From Near & Far

Asheville has long been dubbed the Paris of the South, a mecca for dreamers, artists, and culinary alchemists. And in this enchanted realm of flavors and fire, one name reigns supreme: Stoney Knob Café. A stone’s throw north of downtown, this kaleidoscopic wonderland defies convention and delights the senses, blending the bold flavors of Greece and the Mediterranean with an avant-garde atmosphere that must be seen to be believed.

From Mama’s Kitchen to Culinary Wonderland: Serving Up Magic Since 1962

What started as Mama’s humble dishes has since evolved into a gastronomic adventure, cooking up not just meals but memories, masterpieces, and moments of pure indulgence. Since 1962, the Diner’s been stirring up the perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and a pinch of whimsy—and we’re just getting started.

Step inside, and reality shifts. Walls adorned with eccentric art and treasures from around the world whisper tales of distant lands, while the aroma of sizzling spices and slow-roasted delicacies beckons you deeper into the magic. Every plate is a love letter to the Mediterranean, kissed with a touch of American soul, and every glass of wine—curated for kings and poets alike—turns an ordinary evening into a celebration.

But the real enchantment? The Dermas family, who have been spinning gold from humble ingredients since 1962, treating every guest like kin, every meal like a masterpiece, and every moment like something worth remembering.

A word to the wise: reservations are highly recommended. The secret is out, and the magic of Stoney Knob waits for no one. Call 828.645.3309 to secure your seat at the table. We’re open every day except Monday, ready to transport you to a world where flavor, artistry, and hospitality dance in perfect harmony.

Come hungry. Leave enchanted.
