Perenn - Review - Franklin - Nashville - The Infatuation
"The almond croissant at Perenn is untouchable. No one’s making a better pastry in Williamson (or Davidson) County right now. And the line out front is a testament to just how good they—and pretty much all of Perenn’s housemade pastries—are. Flaky pain au chocolat, crisp flutes of just-out-of-the-oven bread, buttery kouign-amann line the bakery case, with an Art Deco espresso machine by its side, just waiting to make the perfect macchiato to go with them. There is some seating, both indoor and on the patio by the river, so it’s easy to spread out to enjoy some of the heftier stuff on the menu. We’re talking about a lunch of avocado or ricotta toast and an heirloom tomato sandwich, but also for dinner, where you can take down a bavette steak or Sunday roast." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
