The 25 Best Restaurants In Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"In the world of new age wine bars, few have mastered the formula of interesting wine + amazing bread + cozy interiors like East Nashville's Butterlamp. We’ve been here in the early afternoon to snack on oysters and fries at the bar, reveling in a space that fulfills that middle ground between a coffee shop and bar. We’ve stopped by for a moody dinner full of slices of bread topped with poached tomatoes and fermented marigold in the candlelight. And when we’ve been disappointed in dessert at other restaurants in the area, we’ve come here for a redo with the lighter-than-air chocolate gateau and a glass of sparkling wine. This is a multi-tool hangout that’s primed to be your spot for years to come." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
