Epicurean Satisfaction for Every Palate

Lake Norman eateries serve up diverse menus and flavors

One thing people in the Lake Norman area love to talk about is the food scene because there is such a vast variety here. Whether you’re looking for fine dining, healthy fare or international cuisine, you can eat on an outdoor patio overlooking a charming downtown or lake view, and you’ll never get bored of our food options.

The modern Cuban restaurant Azúcar transports diners from Huntersville to Havana, where diners can enjoy a cocktail list featuring seven types of mojitos and sangria as well as classic cocktails. The menu offers classic Cuban cuisine created with influences from other countries and cultures, such as croquetas, a take on the French croquette made with yuca rather than potatoes, and the Cubano, a Cuban sandwich inside an eggroll. Entrees include options like salmon baked inside of a puff pastry with moro rice, sweet plantain and a green pea puree; and gnocchi, made from yuca paired with skirt steak, bacon chicharrón and a blue cheese sauce.

For strikingly colorful, refined, rustic and nutritionally well-balanced charcuterie, Davidson’s Table and Board offers a unique experience, creating fruit boards, dessert boards, breakfast boards, hand-held sweet or savory cones and cups, custom-designed boards, box lunches and more. Seasonal ingredients including artisanal cheeses, cured cheeses, meats and produce are hand-picked at local farmer’s markets. Dessert board selections feature homemade pumpkin-spice and peppermint meringues, French macaroons, salted caramels, pistachio and cranberry biscotti and chocolate-covered strawberries as some of the available options. Table & Board hosts public and private Charcuterie Workshops. The workshops, held three to four times per month, teach participants how to shop and pair ingredients, and practice efficient food handling and preparation.
