This iconic venue has been a Nashville favorite for over 40 years. The Bluebird Cafe is known because of all the country music stars. Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, and Dierks Bentley performed at this club early in their careers. While most patrons come for the live music, the menu has a great selection of snacks and classic showtime food, such as chips and salsa, chicken salad croissants, ham and cheese sandwiches, and chicken tenders.
Serving an elevated American fare, this establishment has been a dinnertime hotspot since its reopening in 2015. Steven Smithing had a simple goal, "Green Hills Grille proves that dining doesn't have to be pretentious." The focus is on serving high-quality, fine-dining food in a relaxed environment. For apps, the crab cakes are the perfect way to start a meal. Fried crab cakes served with arugula salad, a lemon aioli, and drizzled with a mandarin orange vinaigrette.

This local donut and coffee hotspot has been a beloved staple of Green Hills since it opened in 1973. Whether an eclair and coffee for breakfast or a late-night snack, Fox's has something for everyone. The donuts are made fresh every morning, from classic glazed to jelly-filled or even chocolate cake donuts.
This relaxed counter-service cafe is the best casual lunch spot in Green Hills. Offering soups, sandwiches, and many grab-and-go items. The rotating specials are always great. For sandwiches, it is hard to beat the Ultimate Turkey Club. A "dogwood" style sandwich with turkey, ham, and bacon with avocado, mayo, dijon, lettuce, onion, and tomato stacked between three slices of farm bread. For salads, try The Goddess; delicious garden goodies and fresh herb croutons on top of baby spinach finished with homemade thick green goddess dressing.
This fine-dining establishment offers Mediterranean cuisine. The interior has a modern, elevated feel with the sleek, simplistic decor. The food is focused on fresh ingredients and adding innovation to traditional Mediterranean meals and techniques. An order of the whipped feta (served with grilled flatbread and crudites) is the perfect starter. For entrees, the lamb chops showcase the flavors of Santo. The chops come with cous cous, gremolata, green zhoug sauce, and are topped with fresh mint.
Located inside a design gallery, this restaurant offers a curated menu. RH itself is great to explore. This 70,000-square-foot building is full of lighting, decor, textiles, and upscale furniture. The food is traditional American, and the setting is a charming courtyard. For the table, order the Artisanal prosciutto. This dry-aged ham is served with a warm baguette and seasonal fruit. While all entrees offer a sensational experience, the lobster roll (dowsed in butter, mayo, and finished with old bay seasoning) is the best in the Nashville food scene.
This spot offers authentic New York-style deli options and a patio. When a group of local investors created Noshville, they traveled coast to coast, searching out the best delicatessen to offer. They achieved that goal and now run an iconic Green Hills diner. For the authentic experience, try the pastrami or corned beef sandwich. They keep it simple; bread (rye, pumpernickel, wheat, or sourdough), condiments of choice, and a pile of meat. They also offer New York cheesecake, the perfect way to end a meal.
This modern steakhouse is about fancy southern cooking. The handsome interior is perfect for a date night or a business meeting. The wafting smells of seafood and steak and the jazz flowing from the piano room make Char one-of-a-kind. For "Beginnings," try the Nola BBQ Shrimp. Gulf shrimp accompanied with grits, mushrooms, and spicy creole garlic butter. Char offers various signature entrees, premium cuts of beef, and fresh seafood; however, the Maple Farms Duck Breast offers patrons elevated southern dining. The duck is served with chipotle mashed sweet potato, broccolini with garlic and chile flakes, and a blueberry demi glacé.
Also known as "Etch's spunky sister," this chic restaurant offers globally inspired flavors. Head chef Deb Paquette runs both eateries. After the success of Etch, a downtown fine dining establishment, the owner, Deb, decided to launch Etc, a place for her to channel her adventurous energies into a "southern meets global" menu. The starter that sums up Etc would be the beef basturma. This consists of spiced air-dried beef, common in Egypt, served alongside yellow squash. For entrees, the cornmeal catfish and masala shrimp are a great options. This white fish, coupled with spiced shrimp, is served alongside several delightful sauces.
