Welcome to Battery Park Bistro!

We offer affordably priced gourmet cuisine including several vegetarian selections.  Battery Park Bistro features breads and desserts baked in-house from organic grains, house-cured and smoked meats, seasonal local and organic produce, and fresh seasonal fish selections.  We are right by the historic Grove Arcade and charming shops of Wall Street.  Convenient parking is available in the Wall Street Parking Deck (which exits onto Battery Park Avenue), and the first hour is free before 7:00 pm.

  An Asheville native, Lee Currie learned to understand the dedication and hard-working lifestyle of the local farmer while working on his grandmother's dairy farm in Leicester, NC.  As he worked his way up in Asheville's downtown restaurants, he avidly pursued/supported organic gardening and sustainable agriculture. 

  Chef Currie has spent years developing friendships/business partnerships with the local farming community.  The chef sits down each winter with local farmers like Mitch Plemmons (pictured below) to select the produce to be grown for the restaurant in the following year.  This assures you of the freshest local vegetables when they are in season.

"Bistro cooking is good, traditional food, earnestly made and honestly displayed. It is earthy, provincial, or bourgeois; as befits that kind of food, it is served in ample portions."
