Vivian was born as a humble tabletop pop-up inside Burial Beer in 2015. But with its move four years ago to a River Arts District brick-and-mortar, it has matured into a celebrated anchor of Asheville’s restaurant scene.

Sunday brunch is a special treat, with recent offerings ranging from lobster parfait to a deep-fried chicken biscuit with sausage gravy and eggs.

French fare, higher end, great for dinner or brunch. Terrific drinks and good wine list. Small and lovely.

Beautiful small Contemporary American restaurant featuring locally sourced ingredients, owed and run by a husband/wife team. In the trendy River Arts District on Asheville's south side - tour a few indie galleries while you're in the neighborhood!
