Whenever we come to Asheville we make a point of eating at the Laughing Seed. My 90 year olf Mom and I visited Asheville mainly for the Fall Southern Highlands Craft Fair and of course had to come here for dinner. It was a chilly, drizzly day but the food made it all OK. My Mom is fulltime vegetarian (maybe... more

GO!! You will not be disappointed. I am not a vegetarian, yet I was super impressed with variety and selection and quality!!! more

The Laughing Seed Cafe is a great example of vegetarian food done well! The portions are just right, the flavoring is perfect and the food is just wonderful. Not to mention that the prices are extremely reasonable. My husband and I ordered the Mercury Not Rising burger and the Low Country Rollups, and we would both become total vegetarians if... more

For vegetarian, it doesn't get much better than this. Innovative menu items, nice atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor dining options, and friendly staff. Harmony bowl with sea vegetables is awesome. Definitely a winner! more

Needless to say, it met our expectations in every way - imaginative menu, outstanding food quality and taste, and very reasonably priced. Perhaps because all four of us were so outspoken to our waiter regarding our... more

Bright, cheery atmosphere. Good service. Great food. This place was wonderful. We ate here during Sunday Brunch and had excellent Bloody Marys. We both had a cup of excellent split pea soup and big, fresh, delicious salads. Sure wish we had a place like this in Williamsburg! more

My travel companions met a local friend for lunch and enjoyed a nice meal. The Laughing Seed is downtown within walking distance to the Grove Arcade and several great shops and galleries. We enjoyed the atmosphere on their front patio. We all enjoyed the soup of the day (beet with other root veggies). My partner's rueben (made with tempeh was... more
