Seafood snatched fresh from the Carolina coast, BBQ like only we North Carolinians can pull off, Spanish cafés providing Latin flair, and German bakeries serving the most mouth-watering treats are just a sampling of some of the cuisine we hold near and dear to our hearts – and bellies.

There’s an old saying around here that goes something like, “Point your compass in any direction in Cumberland County, and you’re bound to come across savory delicacies at every turn.” Seafood snatched fresh from the Carolina coast, BBQ like only we North Carolinians can pull off, Spanish cafés providing Latin flair, and German bakeries serving the most mouth-watering treats are just a sampling of some of the cuisine we hold near and dear to our hearts – and bellies. What’s more, is that all the restaurants delivering you these delicious meals, beverages and desserts hold one thing in common – each is locally owned and operated. Like America itself, Cumberland County is a true melting pot, and a trip around greater Fayetteville equates a culinary voyage around the world. However, this is the one trail we recommend completing over several sittings.

These trail destinations are not necessarily listed in any particular navigable order and may be visited individually.
