Maximize your savings AND satisfy your appetite with our run-down of The Best Place:

1. To Have Something Unique: Germantown Cafe

GTOWNCAFE
From one of the best brunch spots in town comes a unique Restaurant Week menu that pulls crazy flavors and puts them together in the most satisfying way!
  • Where: In the heart of Germantown’s new development, surrounded by Nashville faves Swaffles (Stuffed Waffles) and Red Bicycle Crepes
  • What to order: Plum Pork:  there is nothing better than that. Nothing. And don’t miss out on the pork tots. Pork tots, you guys.
  • Who to bring: A small to medium group of friends who don’t get too rowdy…Germantown is a chill place!

2. To Have Your “Cheat” Meal: Valentino’s Ristorante


VALENTINOS

Summer-long diet getting you down? Take a break from counting calories and indulge in everyone’s favorite food: carbs. Because you’re worth it.

  • Where: Next to the hustle-and-bustle of West End Ave!
  • What to order: This is three courses with a bang, and it is laden with mystery…ask for the chef’s specials, but know you’ll end up with some tiramisu.
  •  Who to bring: Low lighting and pasta? Bring a date and have your very own Lady and the Tramp moment.
3. To Be A Wine-O: Cabana

We love our food, but we also love our drinks. Every course comes with a perfectly paired wine!
  • Where: Tucked away right next to Hillsboro Village
  • What to order: “Fried Local Catfish with Jalapeno Corn Cream, Fresh Slaw, and Chipotle Cheddar Corn Bread”. Cabana may look trendy, but they do the classics with flair.
  • Who to bring: This is the place to bring big groups and sit in an actual cabana. You can even close the curtain for some private hang time!
 4. To Feel Super Hip: Holland House

East Nashville’s very own speakeasy, Holland House Bar & Refuge is the who’s who of the hipster scene – in the best way possible – and draws people in with their killer happy hours! (Get the Manhattan).

  • Where: East Nashville right off of Eastland, next to their sister restaurant The Pharmacy.
  • What to order: The whole menu is unique, but you MUST get the Nutella Bread Pudding.
  • Who to bring: This works for anything. A date, a group, a friend…just book in advance!
 5.  To Eat Like Ron Swanson: Jimmy Kelly’s Steakhouse

To quote the great Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, “If it doesn’t have meat, it’s a snack.”  Jimmy Kelly’s has been doing steak since 1934. We trust it.
  • Where: Louise Ave. near Charlotte
  • What to order: Their filet mignon actually says “Cut Thick So It Broils Red and Juicy”. If steak isn’t your thing, there’s free range chicken, corn cakes…everything you need!
  • Who to bring: Anyone who enjoys the simpler things in life. If they’ve ever won an eating contest, that’d be good too…steak, bread and cobbler is pretty filling!
