• The Catbird Seat★ Michelin Many chefs have carried the Catbird banner since the restaurant’s founding in 2011. Today, husband-and-wife chef duo Andy Doubrava and Tiffani Ortiz usher in the next chapter of this prized, U-shaped counter situated on the top floor of the Bill Voorhees Building. In a room where cooks have nowhere to hide, expect a youthful, frenetic tasting menu that highlights locality, seasonality and preservation with a wide range of ingredients. Smoking and grilling, oils and purees, granitas and powders – the flavors and techniques involved are extensive. Courses are built around an array of stimulating752m
• St. Vito FocacceriaBib Memphis-born but Sicilian to his core, Chef Michael Hanna opened St. Vito’s in the Gulch with one mission in mind: to bring his version of sfincione, a Sicilian street food, to Nashville. It's far from your average slice of pizza. Instead, imagine focaccia studded with fontina and then topped with breadcrumbs and pecorino. It's all on display in the exposed kitchen where you can watch the chefs fold the dough. There are four varieties, such as spicy tomato with burrata or roasted potato cream, and the toppings are generous on this hearty and satisfying treat. A small menu shares several salads683m
• Bastion★ Michelin Walk through the buzzy cocktail bar to find this stylish restaurant in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. Bastion offers a single tasting menu featuring contemporary Southern cooking that is approachable yet playful. This is a kitchen that isn't afraid to take risks. Dishes arrive in waves, and the product focus is on full display in a stunning plate of yellow peach and tomato with strawberry miso mayo and mozzarella marshmallows, and in a summery pairing of candy-striped agnolotti filled with squash accompanied by a luscious bowlful of creamed corn. Black cod poached in champagne butter over2.0km
• Locust★ Michelin Reservations here are scarce — and for good reason. Laidback, quirky and full of charm, Chef Trevor Moran's compact, Japanese-influenced hotspot is a beehive of energy. There’s a simple elegance and a clear attention to detail in every dish, all designed for sharing. Beef tartare hand rolls, a house classic, always delight. From there, explore seafood like Maine diver scallops with shaved green apple. A Japanese omelet with Jonah crab is simple but spot on. Don't skip dessert. The ever-changing iterations of their kakigori may present a sculpted block of the finest, powdery shaved ice dressed,3.4km
• Arnold's Country Kitchen Ask a local where they'd go for a classic "meat and three" and you'll likely hear the same name again and again. Arnold's Country Kitchen is a bit of an institution. Opened in 1982 by Jack and Rose Arnold and now run by their son, Kahlil, this is Southern cooking to its core. Grab a tray and be sure to consult the specials chalked up on the board. Peruse the proteins, perhaps pork chop or brisket, and then select from a bevy of sides like turnip greens studded with cubes of tender, smoky pork. There's nothing fussy or fancy about it, but this is flavorful food that draws in crowds who flock he653m
• UzbegimBib This restaurant promises something different, specializing in authentic Uzbek cuisine in a space with a stunning patio. Originating in Islamic China and traveling across to the Middle East, this is a cuisine that features some of the usual suspects (think kebabs) as well as standouts like Uyghur-style, hand-cut noodles. Kick off the meal with a tandir samosa, a flaky shell stuffed with ground beef and onion and sided by a spicy red sauce. Then, tender, charred lamb kebab is a good choice, but don't skip the noodles stir fried with beef, vegetables and fried egg. House-made cherry juice is the 3.2km
• Redheaded StrangerBib There is typically a line out the door at this Cleveland Park spot. Named for a Willie Nelson song and album, the vibe is laidback and slightly quirky (think diner style with chili pepper lights strung above). It's a small spot but great care is taken with everything from house-made hot sauces to tortillas. Watch the chef making those terrific flour tortillas in the main dining room or sit outside on the patio to savor Chef Bryan Lee Weaver's Tex-Mex menu. Tacos run the gamut from simple (bacon, egg and cheese) to creative (poblano with whipped feta and crispy rice). Main dishes include a burr3.3km
• Hattie B’s Hot Chicken Nashville is synonymous with hot chicken and if you want a true taste, head to Hattie B's. It's a pretty simple promise at this family-run concept. Step up to the counter and decide if it's a bones or no bones day with dark or white meat or tenders and sandwiches. Then comes the all-important decision—how hot? Southern kicks it off with no heat and then reaches increasingly hotter in five tiers. Not sure which level you want? Order the tenders with three heat levels in one dish. Sides are classic Southern staples like green beans and pimento mac and cheese, plus fried pickles and loaded fries.1.6km
• PeninsulaBib At first glance, it might be easy to dismiss this rambunctious restaurant set at the base of a nondescript apartment building in East Nashville. But don’t be fooled: You’ll be convinced otherwise at first bite. Broadly focused on the Iberian Peninsula, the cooking is creative and pulls influences from around the globe for its tapas-style dishes. Buckle up for plates powered by character that take unexpected twists and turns, as in a bold opener of endive, fried and covered in a koji foam with a burnt onion powder, or a clever beet starter paired with roasted garlic. The smart cooking continues4.0km
• iggy's Curious what this spot from brothers Ryan and Matthew Poli is all about? Take one look at the mural outside and you'll soon realize. This Wedgewood-Houston restaurant with a sleek, modern industrial look (and a glass-enclosed pasta room!) is all about Italian food.The concise menu keeps things simple with a few small plates like crispy arancini in warm goat cheese fondue or Village Bakery brioche stuffed with whipped cream cheese before a tempting array of house-made pastas like little shells with Maine peekytoe crab in a sea urchin butter. Soft serve sundaes are nonnegotiable. Lemon huckleber2.1km
