One of Ro's favorite restaurants in the Asheville area is Que Sera in Black Mountain. An unassuming frontage with wonderful service and food inside. Think French meets Louisiana meets American, with incredible fish with creative sides and deserts that will tempt those who don't usually partake. Oysters on the half shell  and soft shells in season. Carl and Janie the owners will delight you. Service you would only usually find in NY or LA. 400 E State Street, Black Mountain. Call 828 664 9472 for a reservation.

For a wonderful lunch in Black Mountain, mostly homemade, visit the Veranda. Once again, a husband and wife team that offer the type of service you thought had disappeared. Try the soups. If there's a wait at this popular spot, pop into Seven Sisters Gallery next door - although you might find yourself being drawn back after lunch by the all-American created artwork, jewelry and creations Andrea has on display. 119 Cherry St
