My wife and I think Margot's is simply one of the best restaurants in Nashville. It's a small, locally owned, slightly up-scale bar/cafe located just across the street from 5-Points Pizza...actually on one of the corners of 5-Points. The menu varies as to the chefs access to seasonal produce and products....but it's consistently great! It's fine to dress casual but you would be wise to make reservations to assure a table.
We like the enclosed patio for a quieter experience but inside is fun too!

One of the few vegetarian restaurants in Nashville this small locally owned, hip diner in East Nash offers non-meat comfort food to all. Check-out their menu...we like the Buffalo Beans & Greens (with tempeh)! It's a popular spot so if you have to wait you can start off with dessert 1st at the also recommended Jeni's Ice Cream next door! Or jump to one of the other restaurants right there like Rose Pepper (fun Mexican), Eastland Cafe (chef choice, great Happy Hour), Two-Ten Jacks (Unique Japanese, ramen!), or Graze (totally vegan bistro/bar). Depending on your desires they are all recommended! All these plus an additional 2 coffee shops and cool bakery all about 2 miles East of our home.

Home to the Tennessee Titans NFL pro football team (and the CMA Fest), this is a state of the art stadium within walking distance of the house (1 mile). if you walk, scooter, or bike you can enjoy the events at the stadium without facing the heavy traffic afterwards.
Also located next to the stadium is the Pedestrian Bridge (former Shelby St Bridge). It’s an easy go across the river to the Honky-Tonks , shops, and food of Lower Broad.
