Butcher & Bee is a hip East Nashville gem, blending Southern hospitality with inventive, vegetable-focused dishes in a cozy garden-like setting.
"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
