Diners can look forward to a week of delicious menus and great deals as Nashville Restaurant Week starts next Monday, Jan. 20 and continues through Sunday, Jan. 26.

Put on by Nashville Originals, the city’s association of independent restaurants, Nashville Restaurant week is a beloved winter tradition that places the spotlight on local, independent restaurants and encourages participants to branch out and explore Nashville’s culinary scene.

Nashville Originals’ member restaurants are located in both Davidson and Williamson Counties and range from fine dining establishments to burger joints,  quaint cafes to delicatessens and more.

Germantown Cafe, a Nashville staple, will feature a two-course menu for $20.20. Diners will be able to select an entree and either a salad to start the meal or dessert to conclude it. Entree options include a New York strip with grilled corn, asparagus, tomato salad, roasted red potatoes, onion and a blackberry balsamic reduction; pan-seared swordfish with succotash, roasted fingerling potatoes, and pomegranate country ham jus; Pasta Milano with fettuccine, basil garlic butter, cherry tomato, spinach, crushed almonds and feta, in addition to several other dishes.
