Yancey House Restaurant & Gallery

The Yancey House Restaurant and Gallery is a finalist in the Best Dish in North Carolina 2009 contest sponsored by NC Dept. of Agricultural and Our State Magazine. The restaurant, once the residence (c.1807) of early 19th century Congressman Bartlett Yancey, offers dining in an historic, relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Featuring dishes with a Southern "awareness", Chef Lucindy Willis, Ph.D. adjusts the menu seasonally, working closely w/local farmers and growing her own vegetables and herbs to provide only the freshest produce available. Inspiration for the dishes comes from the owners' Texas and Louisiana roots, the local farming community and from the slow food movement, an eco-gastronomic movement that celebrates the slow life with food.
