Jerusalem Garden Café is where Lindsay took me to dinner on our Asheville Get-A-Way Weekend Extravaganza. This place is a hole-in-the-wall and from the outside it doesn’t look like much. However, once you open the door and step inside you’re transported immediately to the Mediterranean coast. Seriously, the inside décor is perfectly authentic. The ceiling is covered in red flowing fabric and old brass light fixtures. There are throw pillows everywhere and the tables sit low to the ground. It reminded me of a Bedouin tent. The whole place just seemed lavish and true to its roots. It was so authentic that I made sure my wallet was secure in my back pocket, because I just assumed that there would be gypsies.
