Charlotte has many great restaurants... something for pretty much any taste. Before dinner on Saturday, we went to a new Scottish bar called Molly MacPhersons in uptown Charlotte.
A beautiful bar which feels cozy despite it's size, Molly MacPhersons has a menu with traditional pub fare as well as some fun Scottish additions such as neeps and tatties and scotch eggs. The highlight for me was the very impressive scotch list and beer menu, which had a over 20 Scottish beers as well as dozens of other interesting imports. After a highland scotch or two, we walked around the block to an excellent steak and seafood place called LaVecchia’s. The food was great, and the oceanic decor was really fun.
If you are into something more casual, Dandelion Market might be the place for you. Kyle claims they have "ridiculously good grilled cheese sandwiches" and the bartenders remind her of nice “local” NYC bartenders (i.e., if they like you, they will let you know what days they work and remember your drink order). They also have a great craft beer list.
For fine dining, the multiple award-winning and highly acclaimed Zebra restaurant boasts organic, free range, local and sustainable fare. We didn't make it there on this trip, but it's definitely at the top of the list for the next time I'm in Charlotte.

All in all, when it comes to food, Charlotte has something for almost every taste and occasion. Have you been? Send me your recommendations and I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm there!
