"Hermitage Cafe is the OG of Nashville diners. Prepare to run into the modern hipster, businessman, woo-girl, and lonely cowboy. Sit down at the counter and feast on the classics prepared right in front of you. Known to fix Southern eats, the chicken fried steak is a must. The breakfast kills and the staff gets to know you with their uncanny sense of humor." - ST8MNT
"The stately Hermitage Hotel is Nashville’s best bet for an elegant tea service downtown. Marble staircases and ornate high ceilings set the scene for a formal and festive afternoon tea served on the bright and window-filled veranda every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2 p.m for $95 per person. Tiered trays of tea sandwiches and pastries are accompanied by pots of loose-leaf tea and complementary glass of bubbles (and free valet parking)." - Ellen Fort

The beaux-arts structure was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2020, after which it underwent a two-year restoration. Food and beverage are overseen by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten; choose from the signature restaurant Drusie & Darr, known for its extensive bourbon collection, and the all-day café and wine bar, the Pink Hermit. In 2023, the Hermitage was a top-five finalist in the World's Best Awards." - Travel + Leisure Editors
