La Strada is one of our favorite restaurants located in Chimney Rock. This drive leaves from Jud’s Brown Building which is one of our drive meeting points. It winds through Hunting Country, skirts Mill Springs on some back roads and then picks up Big level Road. It zigs and zags across the countryside east of Hwy 9 until in joins Hwy 9 shortly before Lake Lure. From there it heads to La Strada.
