Cosmopolitan|Issue 03, 2022

Exactly Where to Eat in Nashville's Legendary Food Scene

Best Place for Coffee Geeks:

Crema Coffee Roasters

The people behind this award-winning spot roast their beans, sourced from global farmers they're literally friends with, in-house in small batches. Cups on the menu come with java-snob-worthy tasting notes. Budding coffee enthusiasts are best initiated via the Asrar Haraz coffee from Yemen.

Best Bottomless Brunch:

Sinema Restaurant + Bar

The entire weekend brunch menu is bottomless-including tableside mimosas and Bloody Marys and the food. You'll be saying, "Another round, please," to dishes like Fruity Pebbles French toast and bacon jalapeño cheddar grits.

Best Southern-Style Biscuit:

Biscuit Love

The pillowy deliciousness was perfected via food truck, but now this Food Network-famous place has three brick-and-mortar restaurants around town. Its flaky, layered biscuits are served hot and loaded with toppings like fried chicken, sausage gravy, eggs, and whipped cream and strawberry compote.

Best Lunch:

Arnold's Country Kitchen
