Peninsula

1035 W Eastland Ave, Nashville, TN 37206

One of our favorite restaurants anywhere. Imagine the kind of food you get on an excellent tasting menu but… it’s à la carte. Nothing is what you expect and this is usually a bad thing but here, it’s all a pleasant surprise. (Except for the Spanish Tortilla, it’s more like a savory flan thing.)

If you go here, you must order the marzipan for dessert (or an app honestly) and get it with the pairing. One of the best and most surprising desserts we’ve ever had. The savory food is incredible too.

For: dinner (nice)

Favorites: cucumber/melon, endive, beet, chewy rice, mussels, and for dessert the marzipan with pairing.
