704-814-9882 | | | | | Description: BALLANTYNE. Upbeat and hip, this Med-inspired restaurant is well worth the drive down Providence, if for no other reason than to prove to yourself that the suburbs do, in fact, hold a few culinary surprises. The main dining room sports a distinctly contemporary design, and the open kitchen gives the space a European quality that encourages folks to linger after their meals and enjoy the company, coffee, desserts and wines. As to the fare, choices abound: Will it be a filo spinach pie or salmon kalamata? Veal chop parmigiana or moussaka? There are no wrong answers. Stop by early in the morning for goodies from the bakery and a cup or two of specialty coffee.

704-342-1193 | | | | | Description: UPTOWN. Monticello exudes a quailty of sophistication befitting the austere Dunhill Hotel. Indeed, such is the property's reputation that many companies have their out-of-town clients stay there. Monticello certainly does its part to enhance the experience by delivering impeccible dishes like tuna steak Oriental, Lowcountry-style shrimp and grits, and tournedos duxelle in a setting that recalls European elegance. NB The restaurant is open for afternoon tea Friday-Sunday, but reservations must be made 24 hours ahead of time.

704-358-8003 | | | | | Description: DILWORTH. Sure, everybody knows about Starbucks and Seattle's Best, but Dilworth Coffee House is widely known as Charlotte's best! As soon as you walk in, inviting scents and a warm interior encourage you to take a seat and drift off to another place a feat made easier if you happened to load some Miles Davis on your player. The coffee is fantastic, and the service is even better. This location is the original, but since their start in 1989, the company has expanded to 13 locations, most of which are in Charlotte.
