One should not exclude Winston-Salem and High Point in exploring Greensboros dining distinctions, to have a complete picture of the culinary delights of this part of the country. There are a host of excellent choices here in keeping with its rich tradition of cultural liberalism, with concomitant diligence in conserving its own invaluable heritage.
A visit to 1703 could leave you wondering. Would you return more for the dcor, the patio, the international cuisine, the fine wine collection or the impeccable service? Try a Sunday brunch if you have time for just one visit, because the local regulars will be out in strength and will enrich your total experience. The diner is charmingly located on Robin Hood Road and the unassuming but talented owner changes the menu everyday. 223 South Elm in Greensboro is another place in this genre with a fusion cuisine menu of distinction, as is Act 1 in High Point, where the daily menu is a sort of treasure hunt in which you cannot lose! Bistro 420 is another place of distinction in the realm of fusion cuisine. It is widely known and well loved by Greensboro residents and those in the surrounding area.
There are purists who discount the fusion bit. The Acropolis on North Eugene Street in Greensboro will please them, for it is not just gourmet Greek dishes on which you can feast but music and sublime culture of that great civilization. You can move at the speed of taste from ancient Greece to the heritage of Japan by a visit to Kabuto, a Japanese Steak House that has survived the competitive cuisine market of Greensboro, and is acclaimed by the knowledgeable. Fresh meat prepared at your table is an experience not to be missed and you will struggle to find the secret, generally without success, of how such apparently minimalist cooking can do so much for the taste buds! India Palace is a celebration of the varied and always delicious styles of cooking from the rich cultures of Asia. Indian meals are elaborate and you should not hesitate to ask the gentle staff for help with the menu, should you be rather new to such a food celebration. Kebabs Indian Bar and Grill at Winston-Salem adds variety, especially from the North Western frontier of the sub-continent, should you want to indulge in rich Indian food more than once during a short period. Nawab means royalty in one of Indias native languages and the family that runs a restaurant with this name tries to create the atmosphere of an Indian home in which guests are treated as Kings and Queens. Such custom care means that they can make you a relatively mild form of the usually fire-brigade brand of an Indian curry!
Fine dining is a yardstick by which international travelers tend to rate local dining standards. Bernardins in Winston-Salem weighs in for the American corner in any contest, with a range of meats and pasta in a deluxe setting of great elegance. Biancas in Greensboro serves 5 course banquets and it is best to visit only by prior reservation and for special occasions. Go to Brixx Wood-Fired Pizza for a contrasting but equally memorable snack meal of the most delectable presentations of everyday pizza, sandwiches and the like, after an exclusive and elaborate ritual of a European banquet. Caf Pasta and Grill is another option for a sublime experience of food that people tend to take for granted such as simple pasta and grills. The Undercurrent Restaurant in Greensboro is known for its diligence in taking special care of an important guest, while allowing the host and others at the table to feel well looked after as well.
Seafood is popular everywhere and Greensboro make a valuable contribution with Berts, where common fish and crustaceans mix with choices as exotic as bass, shark and mahi-mahi. Freshness and healthy cooking style are hallmarks of this place and it has vegetarian and meat options as well.
Boba House in Greensboro is a surprise delight for newly-turned vegetarians. The mock meats from Soya offer a gentle and healthy perspective of the pleasures of meat evening. You will marvel at the white and red meat and seafood variations of this humble and green protein source.
Greensboro for its entire liberal and embracing attitude for the ways of the world is at the end of the day, a part of the United States of America. Pay homage to the land and its people by completing an exploration of the area dining facilities with a visit to the Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery in High Point. Let free-flowing, vintage, small home brewery versions of ale, stout and lager bathe some classic American home-style food.
Everything in Greensboro is done with style and panache, even the mundane and everyday routines. So it is with dining, with an enthralling collection of restaurants, each a masterpiece in its own right, capable of attracting the faithful in droves wherever it may choose to pitch its tent.
