About Root 29

Celebrating Charlottesville Food Tradition

One of Charlottesville’s most well-known former residents contributed to the city’s strong food culture. Thomas Jefferson was inspired by French cuisine and Virginia influences, and he often held lavish dinners at the White House and at his Monticello home. Daniel Webster wrote in 1824 that dinners at Monticello in Charlottesville were “served in half Virginian, half French style, in good taste and abundance.”

That rich food culture still exists in Charlottesville. Are you searching for a new setting for a night out in Charlottesville? Root 29 Craft Kitchen & Bar is the new restaurant in town with a taste for regional flavor. Located inside the newly renovated Doubletree by Hilton Charlottesville, we offer a unique blend of comfort, class and regional cooking to represent our city. When you’re looking for feel-good food to fill your stomach and an inviting atmosphere to fill your soul, Root 29 invites you to savor, share and be satisfied.
