What you need to know

Palmar Latin Kitchen is a chef-led dinner experience in downtown Asheville from Colombian-born Chef Carlos Torres, who brings over two decades of kitchen experience from New York, Miami, Hawaii, Dallas, and Colombia. The menu is built around shareable plates rooted in South American tradition, like corvina ceviche, grilled octopus and causa potato, and shaped by seasonal ingredients from Western North Carolina farms. The room at 5 Biltmore Ave is built for the kind of long, lively meal where the food keeps arriving and the conversation keeps going: lively flavors, music, and the warm hospitality that defines the Latin table.

Local's Tip

Dine-in at 5 Biltmore Ave ends Nov 28, 2026, so book your table soon. Starting in December, Palmar takes private dinner bookings and hosts special dinners at other venues while it looks for a permanent home.

What the locals say

Lighting, music, ambiance: all of it is 10 out of 10. You come for the food and you stay because you don't want the night to end.
