Hendersonville Restaurant Week is in full swing through Saturday, March 24th.

DYK: This is the first time Hendersonville has celebrated a restaurant week.

📍Restaurants are in Hendersonville, Mills River + Flat Rock.

💸 Prix fixe menus will be offered at participating restaurants. Lunch is priced at $10 or $15, dinner at $20, $30, or $35. Multiple choices are offered for each course.

🍽 Reservations are recommended. You can make them online via OpenTable on the Hendersonville Restaurant Week site or call the restaurant to book your seat at the table.

📷 Keep track of everything delicious you try on social media using #hendersonvillerw and tagging @hendersonvillerestaurantweek on Instagram.

🌼 Bonus: A portion of proceeds from the prix fixe menus will go to Dandelion, a restaurant in downtown Hendersonville (at 127 5th Ave. W.), which provides internships and job training for victims of violence.

In need of a real getaway from the “big city”? Here are some protips:

🚗 Arrive in style: An Uber from downtown Asheville to downtown Hendersonville will run you around $30-40.

🏨 Stay a while: If you really want to make a night (or a weekend) of it, rates for Hendersonville hotels start at around $70 for a double-occupancy room on Hotels.com. A few inns are also offering special deals, like discounted rates, free nights, or extra features like complimentary wine tastings, during the week. Airbnbs, like this adorable bungalow, cost an average of about $150 per night.

It all looks good, but here are four tasting menu combos we’d go for:

Flat Rock Wood Room | Lunch | $15

Pear and Bleu Cheese Salad

Wood Room Brisket Stack Sandwich

Creme Brulee

Never Blue | Dinner | $20 (vegetarian option)

Gypsy Cheese

Beans and Rice

Gnocchi

We also got an exclusive scoop from Asheville-based food blogger Mali C. (@emporiumofyum), who got to preview Hendersonville Restaurant Week early, about what we should be most excited about. Her favorite overall? Postero. The most surprising (in a good way) of the menus? The Dugout.
