In these chillier months, the windows glow with warm light, inviting visitors in from the cold for a dining experience unlike any other. At Isa\u2019s, diners can enjoy innovative dishes, a rich and diverse beverage menu, and the comfort of a casual and approachable French restaurant. \u201cThe beauty of Isa\u2019s is that it\u2019s a project of love,\u201d says Robert Delarosa, the vice president of food and beverage at Isa\u2019s Bistro. \u201cThe ownership have traveled extensively abroad and wanted to share those fond memories with the community of Asheville. The collective experience of classic French dinners paired with Old World wines was the motivation and inspiration for bringing Isa\u2019s to 1 Battery Park Avenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46852\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46852\" class=\"wp-image-46852\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink-isas-Exterior-3-5269.jpg\" alt=\"Isa's Bistro\" width=\"500\" height=\"310\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isa&#8217;s French Bistro<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Executive chef Peter Crockett balances the creative and traditional in Isa\u2019s menu, which includes offerings like chicken cordon bleu, mussels, steak frites and escargot with bone marrow. \u201cNot only do we want our guests to have excellent service but we also want them to be able to approach our menu with ease,\u201d says Crockett. \u201cWe take French cuisine and give it southern inspiration, which separates us from other French restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cordon bleu dish starts with local chicken thighs that are tenderized and then rolled in house-made mustard, Goodnight Brothers Country Ham, Thomasville Tomme cheese and sage. The thighs are then wrapped in chicken skin, breaded, fried and served over a braised white bean and collard ragout.<\/p>\n<p>For the escargot and bone marrow dish, the bone marrow is rendered in-house and whipped into a compound butter. The roasted and cleaned bones are then filled with the butter and topped with escargot and more butter. \u201cWhen it\u2019s ordered, the dish is placed in the oven to roast,\u201d says Crockett. \u201cOnce hot, we set that on top of a warm, house-made croissant and finish with a parsley aioli.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46855\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46855\" class=\"wp-image-46855\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue-810x488.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-The-Cellar-Venue-1140x687.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46855\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cellar Venue at Isa&#8217;s French Bistro<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Delarosa says his favorite dish changes with the seasonal menu, but he is partial to Chef Crockett\u2019s chicken citron. \u201cThe chicken is locally sourced from Joyce Farms and lathered in a citrus beurre blanc sauce that has capers, sweety drop peppers and wilted greens,\u201d says Delarosa. \u201cThe capers give it a briny pop, the peppers have an almost vegetal sweetness, the greens give it texture and it all rests on a bed of angel hair pasta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dining is a holistic experience at Isa\u2019s and no great meal is complete without great beverages to accompany it. The restaurant features an extensive wine list from France and beyond, as well as a creative and seasonal cocktail menu designed by bar manager Taylor Ward. \u201cWe spend a lot of time in our beverage selections to make sure they pair properly with our carefully crafted cuisine,\u201d says Crockett. A clear favorite has risen to the top in this winter\u2019s cocktail menu: a rum cocktail called the Gold Bug. \u201cMuch like its namesake by Edgar Allan Poe, the recipe is very adventurous,\u201d says Delarosa. \u201cPlantation rum harbors exotic notes of pineapple and coconut, the chartreuse lends an exotic herbiness and a slight ocean-air finish, and it\u2019s garnished with edible gold glitter, making it a treasure waiting to be found.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46854\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46854\" class=\"wp-image-46854\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve-810x505.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Food-Drink_-Isas-Bistro-Isas-French-Bistro.-Scallops-Au-Poirve-1140x711.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scallops au Poirve at Isa&#8217;s French Bistro<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The holidays are a busy time at Isa\u2019s, when the restaurant hosts an elegant Christmas Dinner event and the glamorous Midnight in Paris party on New Year\u2019s Eve.
