The 10 Best places to get gluten-free goodies
"I kind of want to cry just thinking about how amazing Five Daughters Bakery is. These are, without a doubt, the fluffiest, crispiest and most divine donuts I’ve ever tasted. The flavors change monthly, giving you more variety than you could ever dream, but Maple Glaze, Chocolate Sea Salt, Maple Bacon and Vanilla Sugar are menu staples – and for good reason."
"Five Daughters' Bakery is known for their 100-layer donuts and unique, seasonal flavors. The bakery is owned and operated by Isaac and Stephanie Meek along with their five young daughters. The simplistic and girly atmosphere of Five Daughters along with their picture-perfect donuts will give you a great background and prop for a fun Instagram post!"
"Located at 1900 Eastland Ave., Suite 101, in East Nashville, the bakery, which offers doughnuts, cupcakes and more, is the highest-rated bakery in Nashville, boasting 4.5 stars out of 195 reviews on Yelp."
"The artful plating at Etch is indicative of the care that kitchen puts into every dish. Chef Deb Paquette is an expert at layering exotic flavors inspired by international ingredients to create a truly unique menu of delights. The chef’s bar is the prime spot to view the delicate dance in the open kitchen as the staff creates and plates items ranging from the mandatory app of roasted cauliflower to a culinary world tour of entrees like Argentinian beef tenderloin and Indian chicken."
"To many, cowboy hats and country music come to mind when envisioning Nashville but, in recent years, the city has transformed into a decidedly more cosmopolitan, sophisticated place. On the ground floor of one of downtown's condominium towers, Etch, with its open kitchen and sleek dining room, is a reflection of the changing times. Bold, intense flavour combinations turn standard ingredients into mind-boggling creations that delight and tickle the palate."
"Located in the Farmers Market, The Sweet Stash offers an assortment of cupcakes, cookies, cakes and pies five days a week."
"At etc., the ambiance is classy, and the plates are classics, but with a twist. Add shrimp or chicken to the portobello, bacon, avocado, and tofu scramble for some extra protein or indulge in crab cakes with poached eggs, a smoked creole mustard hollandaise tomato pecan sauce and black beans for a culinary tour of regional cuisines on one plate. Inventive cocktails are designed just for brunch and are the perfect complement to the meal.How to book: Make a reservation through OpenTable."
"You can’t go wrong with a coffee and chocolate pairing, as evidenced by this beautiful, delicious dessert from etc. Pastry chef Megan Williams tells us, “Our mocha tart was inspired by one of the most popular flavor combinations: coffee and chocolate. It is a very decadent dessert with a layer of dark chocolate ganache.” She adds that even more coffee flavor comes through with the dessert’s espresso crumb crust and coffee-infused whipped cream."
"Open for brunch, lunch and dinner this swanky Green Hills restaurant offers delicious dishes throughout the day. Lots of patio seating with plenty of umbrellas if you prefer the shade!"
"Selling homemade bread, rolls, pastries and muffins, they have shown a passion for divine desserts. Even after 25 years, Puffy Muffin continues to be a staple for Nashvillians seeking impeccable pastries, desserts, and cookies. It's also a favorite of ladies who lunch - with their chicken salad, and crepes, they prove that Puffy Muffin is on par for excellency."
"It has been over 25 years since Puffy Muffin Dessert Bakery & Restaurant opened their doors. From day one they have been serving locals some of the best breakfast, lunch, and desserts Nashville has to offer. To learn more visit www.PuffyMuffin.com."
"What is it: An outdoor-only Hawaiian eatery serving lunch, dinner and a long cocktail list. Why go: If you can’t book a trip to the Hawaiian islands, this is the next best thing. The menu includes poke, rice, yakitori, Bento boxes and other traditional dishes, served from an on-premises food truck kitchen."
"Head to the roof for panoramic views of Broadway Street, but you'll be tempted by three stories that include six bars and three stages. Grab a specialty handcrafted cocktail to help down the “Crazy Town Burger,” angus beef topped with hot chicken, Crazy Town sauce and all the fixings."
"If you’re looking for the best view of the Batman building, look no further than the 3rd floor rooftop patio at Crazy Town. This spot has quickly become a popular nighttime haunt for many locals, but the daytime views are just as great."
"Elliston Place Soda Shop opened its doors in 1939, and has been serving some of the best milkshakes ever since. If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned ice cream parlor, this is the place for you. Elliston Place Soda Shop still serves milkshakes with the extra stuff in the metal mixing cup."
"A post shared by HomeGrown Decatur (@homegrowndecatur) on Feb 21, 2019 at 1:32pm PST. Elliston Place Soda Shop is an established neighborhood joint where locals come to enjoy the best of American cuisine and desserts. This diner-style eatery boasts retro styled walls and a jukebox."
"This colorful Inglewood haunt has one of the city’s best tot-sized selections on their kiddie breakfast menu—which means even the pickiest eaters will find something worth diving into. Plus the hilariously named dishes: Johnny Cash Onion Rings of Fire, Soup!"
"Opened since 2017 in Hermitage, Nadeen’s opens for breakfast every day but Monday, and the chicken and waffles, huevos rancheros, and “the kernel” (open-faced biscuit crowned with sausage gravy and cheesey scrambled eggs) — all coupled with craft cocktails — make this quirky former pizza joint a worthy destination for those outside the Hermitage area."
"Previously housed across the street in a small re-purposed storage container, executive chef Matt Bolus’ Gulch restaurant upgraded to a much larger space with an expanded menu a few years back, and the vibe and menu are vastly different. Scallop toast and pimento cheese are standout summertime starters — then move on to a green salad with burnt thyme vinaigrette, and/or a duo of notable pastas. Main highlights include the whole smoked fried chicken, steak set-up, or daily catch with étouffée sauce, crawfish, and Carolina gold rice."
"If the weather's not right, you can still head to the 404 Kitchen and snuggle up next to their stand-up heaters for a warm (and delicious) date night."
"New to the Nashville scene, Hopsmith shines brightest as a brunch destination or gathering spot for watching a game. : Jacked Up Brussels (fried Brussels sprouts, orange segments, spiced pecans, goat cheese cake, candied orange peel, Jack Daniel’s vinaigrette)"
