Featured Parkway Restaurant

Switzerland Cafe & General Store
Sit on our porch and enjoy a fresh bowl of soup, freshly made sandwich, or a snack & good bottle of wine. Watch our pit master as he stokes the fire in our smokehouse where we prepare our own pork barbeque, baby back ribs & mountain trout daily. Stroll up to our Pub on a Saturday night & find the surprise of your life…a live Jazz band or a fresh new sound from one of Asheville’s many singer/songwriters. In our General Store you'll find beautiful pottery, handmade crafts, wine, beer & picnic items.
