Tucked away in the woods of the Glades Arts and Crafts Community, The Wild Plum Tea Room offers guests a chance to enjoy delectable food in a quiet mountain setting. Picture yourself gazing out onto forested views from the porch on warm mountain days.
Styled after Austrian teahouses, the Wild Plum offers a unique restaurant experience inspired by European dining. In the mountains of Austria, locals would gather for fresh food and good company. This log cabin restaurant hopes to replicate the warm, welcoming spirit of these tea rooms in the Great Smoky Mountains.
