Carpe Diem Restaurant & Caterers

Join us for Appy Hour and a Half. All appetizers are half price from 5:00PM-6:30PM Mon-Thurs in the bar. Tuesdays all house cocktails are 1/3 off all night. We also feature a half price bottle of wine selection on Monday and Tuesday nights. Carpe Diem is a fine dining restaurant and caterer located in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are in the historic Elizabeth neighborhood near downtown Charlotte. We have been open since 1989, but have moved twice due to downtown business developments. We are now in our third incarnation at 1535 Elizabeth Avenue. Our interiors are done in a beautiful art nouveau style. Mahogany doors, copper lighting that vines around the wood work, and marble floors are just a few details that will engage you in the surroundings. Our menu features long time favorites, like our hazelnut crusted goat cheese salad and buttermilk chicken with black pepper-shallot cream, but we offer a variety of specials to keep your palate interested. We have several vegetarian options on our menu and a daily vegetarian special. We strive to use local products from our hard working farm partners. Carpe Diem Restaurant and Caterers has consistently been voted one of the top ten restaurants in Zagat's Guide to America's Top Restaurants every year since 2005.
