If you’re as much of a foodie as we are, you’re practically guaranteed to appreciate this blog. We don’t know about you, but when we find a restaurant with a mouth-watering menu and foods that we enjoy, we end up frequenting the same spot. But why not try something new in Charlotte? Here are 6 new restaurants you’ve got to try in the Queen City.
1. Bagel Boys
Bagels are one of our favorite breakfast foods because they’re so versatile. You can add whatever toppings you want to them — tomatoes, eggs, sausage, bacon, lettuce, onions — or condiments including cream cheese, peanut butter or jam. That’s why we’re so excited Bagel Boys is in the Charlotte region — so everyone can enjoy authentic New York bagels with a southern twist.
2. Sixty Vines
Sixty Vines brings the spirit of wine country to your table, offering seasonally-inspired dishes paired with a unique selection of 60 wines on tap. Known as “the winemaker’s restaurant,” Sixty Vines invites you to explore wines from top regions around the world, perfectly matched to your palate. Whether it’s a casual brunch, an easy-going lunch, or a special dinner, this is where friends and family gather, glasses raised ‘pinkies down,’ to enjoy an unforgettable taste of wine culture.

Charlotte natives will be happy to know that Yunta — one of Charlotte’s newest restaurants in the south end — is open for business. With a menu that consists of Nikkei foods, Yunta fuses Peruvian ingredients and Japanese cuisine to create a culinary destination that’s totally unique. If not for their specialty dishes, take a visit to check out the restaurant’s atmosphere and Instagrammable flower wall.

Who says you can’t drink wine and be frugal too? Bar a Vins is NoDa’s first ‘approachable’ wine bar, with wines that don’t come with a hefty price tag.
