Once Upon A Time In France

Once Upon a Time in France Brings Escargot and Steak Frites to East Nashville | Eater Nashville

"I discovered a chic 1920s-inspired French bistro on Gallatin Avenue that opened this week at 1102 Gallatin Avenue, replacing the former Steak & Pizza; the cozy, no-reservations, 45-seat East Nashville spot is run by father-and-son team Laurent Champonnois and Melvil Arnt, who combined the father's chef expertise with Melvil's background as a Parisian musician and sound engineer to recreate the food they missed from home. The classic menu features escargot, steak tartare, and boeuf bourguignon, and the drink list offers more than 75 French wines along with European beers, aperitifs and digestifs, plus some well-priced cocktails. They are open Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 4:30 to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 4:30 to 9:40 p.m., and closed Monday and Tuesday." - Delia Jo Ramsey
