The 24 Best Restaurants In Nashville 2024

"There are plenty of places in Nashville where you can drop nearly $200 on a tasting menu and still leave hungry enough to feel the pull of the golden arches on the drive home. Thankfully, at The Catbird Seat in Midtown, the conversation between you and the other 21 diners seated around the open kitchen (who probably planned a trip to Nashville around this meal) won’t involve special sauce side quests. Rather, you’ll all be talking about what a wild ride the previous course was, and how full you are at the end of the meal from cantaloupe kimchi, sea urchin in wild rose custard, and foie gras donuts. The menu changes daily, but if you expect the unexpected and arrive with an open mind, you’ll have one of the best meals you can find in all of Nashville.
