Brunch at The Grove Park Inn


We had a great weekend, but now feeling pretty sleepy after the driving but we did some pretty cool stuff. On Saturday morning we ate breakfast in the Opryland Hotel in Nashville we stayed across the street as their prices were a bit crazy for us!
It is a spectacular hotel and worth a visit, it has 3 huge Atrium's full of palm tree's and tropical plants even orchids, with waterfalls and streams, wow is the right word. The food was expensive and so so, so if your in Nashville just do coffee LOL
The wedding was lovely the groom even danced down the aisle!

To break the Journey we stayed in Asheville NC, my favorite mountain town.
This morning we thought why not treat ourselves to Brunch at The historic Grove Park Inn. Again we choose not to pay their prices to stay, as Asheville is blessed with lots of good hotels, although this time of year with the leaves changing it may be very busy!

It was an Oktoberfest theme with a mixture of German foods and American. I have been to Germany they did a great job.

Eggs Benedict over bratwurst and German rye, apples, ham, cheese, red cabbage and fruit.
Made to order Omelette and salmon Jasmine and I like the salmon the best
Great coffee in a lovely cup

The buffet was beautiful with even an ice sculpture in there!


They even had fresh cakes, very good



So if you are visiting the beautiful Asheville NC be sure to visit the Grove Park Inn
for Brunch its a less expensive way ($30 per adult under 5 free) to sit and relax have first class food and enjoy the best view in the State well one of them LOL

  2. What a great trip...great food...and wonderful photograph of your little one sleeping. Where do I like to go for brunch? Oh there is this little place out here in the country, on the way to a hiking lake. IT is run by wonderful people....it is really a store for supplies but as the town grew around it it became more of a local place to gather. The owner, Bruce, makes the best smoked salmon ever...still in the back of the shop. They have this salmon chowder that is to DIE for!!!! Grin...nothing fancy...but a steamy bowl of chowder sitting under the large eaves in front of the store on a rainy fall day is like being in 'heaven'.

  3. Jasmine is so lovely! She is fairer than my girls, so I am guessing that your husband is North Indian?

    Although she's a lot like my #2 (fairer) child, so I could be wrong.

    Happy Diwali...did you have to light candles like me?

  15. Opryland Hotel is huge....hope you didn't get lost. Was the guy still playing the grand piano on the balcony? We stayed there once at a convention and the rooms tend to be noisy unless you close your draperies well in the evening. You can hear the waterfalls.

    The Grove Park Inn has an annual gingerbread house contest every year around Christmas time. Jasmine would love it when she is older. Glad you had a great trip. Wish I lived nearer. I would have loved to meet you and your cute family.

  16. So cute! I love the idea of brunch! I like to eat a banana when I first get up and then brunch later and then a salad or more fruit in between 'brunch' and dinner. It is working for me to lose a few pounds.
