Fine & Fettle
5-Course Inventive Southern Tasting Event
No, ‘fettle’ is not some new-fangled vegetable. The name of this intriguing restaurant, which opened in June 2020 in the Canopy by Hilton Charlotte Southpark, comes from the expression “in fine fettle,” meaning “To be in a state or condition of health, fitness, wholeness, spirit or form.” And that’s just how you’ll feel when you visit this all-day eatery that goes from being a cozy coffeehouse by morning to a hip gastro lounge by night. What might you find on Fine & Fettle’s seasonally-oriented, spanking-fresh farm-to-table menu? Everything from truffle fries to fried okra with roasted corn remoulade and ricotta salata to grass-fed beef, pastured-raised chicken, sustainably caught fish, and vegetarian main courses to don’t miss desserts like cinnamon roll bread pudding and white chocolate panna cotta. Fine & Fettle has significantly enlivened the Queen City’s food scene, and it awaits your discovery.
