Going to Nashville for business

[txaggie]

Hi,

I'm going to Nashville for work this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I usually stay near Vanderbilt University and West End when I travel to Nashville so I'm familiar with the restaurant scene on that part of town. This time, I'm staying in Downtown (on Commerce Street) and I'd like recommendations in/near (within walking distance) Downtown.

The most recent issue of National Geographic Traveler mentioned 12 Avenue South as a neighborhood to watch in Nashville. The magazine described this neighborhood as "a bohemian blend of clothing and home shops, restaurants, and galleries." This neighborhood would be ideal since it's a few blocks from Downtown. Can anyone recommend any good restaurants in this area?

Thanks,

Binni

Your best bet is to walk over to the Hermitage Hotel and visit Chef Sean Brock's Capital Grille. Highly Recommended!!

Germantown Café is a $4 cab ride, says owner Chris Lowry. A trusted foodie friend in Nashville likes it there.

As pogophiles pointed out, you really can't go wrong with the Hermitage. It's a lovely adventure in good dining. For something a little more down to earth where the food is still excellent but not too fussy...try Cafe Margot, on Woodland St., across the river in East Nashville. Though, not within walking distance it's a very, very short cabride. It's definitely worth the pittance you'll pay the cabbie....the chef changes her menu very frequently depending on what's around and what's good.

Bon appetit!

Can't understand why the Bound'ry Restaurant doesn't get more acclaim here... We had one of our more memorable meals there back in July. Fabulous!!

Here's my Review

I had a great dinner at Mario's, corner of Broadway and Division in the West End near Vandy. Great northern Italian cuisine.
