Butcher & Bee is East Nashville’s chill hotspot dishing inventive, rotating small plates spotlighting fresh local flavors with standout whipped feta and crispy avocado rice.
"At this point, Butcher and Bee’s whipped feta is a Nashville staple, and it’s best shared with friends. This East Nashville restaurant is ready for partying with options for private parties and dinners both inside or on the patio. A semi-private room seats 16, while the mezzanine holds 24 seated diners, and the pink-hued Rose Room is ready for 40 seated (and up to 60 standing). Family-style, buffet, or chef’s choice menus are all options — just make sure to order that feta, and the avocado crispy rice for good measure." - Ellen Fort
"When everyone’s in one of those annoying, indecisive brunch moods, just come to Butcher & Bee in East Nashville. They take all the decision-making off your hands with the Middle Eastern family-style feast: For $35 per person, you’ll get a surprise mix of brunch items which could include the whipped feta or hummus plate, avocado crispy rice, pancakes with chocolate tahini maple, or shakshuka. You could also opt to have a bigger say over your weekend brunch and order a la carte, but sometimes, it’s just nice to give yourself a break. " - jackie gutierrez jones 2

"A Charleston-born restaurant that has become an East Nashville destination, Butcher & Bee has a lovely patio for brunch. It’s best to start with the crowd-favorite whipped feta; from there, move on to Bubie’s short stack, two griddled pancakes with chocolate tahini maple. Or opt for another Butcher & Bee specialty, the avocado crispy rice with collards, peanuts, and serrano chiles (for a brunch-y twist, add an egg for an additional $2.50)." - Kellie Walton, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"Butcher & Bee works on a few levels — it’s just the right spot for an intimate date night in a quiet nook or a convivial dinner party at a communal table, and it even has a lovely patio. The idea here: Southern-style tapas, like a whipped feta and avocado sticky rice that you can’t miss, rounded out by regional beers and playful cocktails." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
