The Best Brunches in Nashville…right now!

If there’s one thing Nashville does well, besides music, it’s brunch. But with so many options, how are you to choose? Here are the current best brunches in Nashville to get you started. But check back, because this list is ever changing!

Nelson’s Greenbrier Distillery

At the top of my list is this restaurant with a whiskey distillery (j/k, but the restaurant is so good, it feels that way!). Nelson’s offers delicious cocktails and an elevated, classic brunch menu (try the monkey bread!) Plus, it has a great vibe, can accommodate groups, and offers parking. Take a tour while you’re there for the full experience.

Park Cafe

There’s a reason this restaurant has been a long standing staple of Sylvan Park – it’s just good. Brunch service is new, though, and delicious. And with a beautiful interior and a covered patio with live music (and bottomless mimosas!), you just can’t go wrong.

Dos Santos

The breakfast burrito. Y’all, literally so good. Plus, bottomless mimosas. Dos Santos is always the vibe. In WeHo.

Xiao Bao

Combining traditional American brunch ingredients with their Asian comfort food menu, Xiao Bao is one of the most unique brunches around and one of my favorite restaurants in general. In East.

Buttermilk Ranch

The crowds at this 12 South hotspot can be prohibitive, but there is a reason everyone loves it so much! Pro tip – get on their wait list online before heading out. Or, even better, go during the week, since they’re open 7 days. They offer at least 3 different coffee-based boozy drinks, as well as several mocktails.

Snooze

Okay, I know this is a chain and we love to support local around here. But…it’s also really good. The old school diner vibes, paired with an impressive brunch cocktail menu and a menu that features spins on all the breakfast classics, it’s worth a visit. Multiple locations.

Honorable Mention:

Noko

While I typically prefer a more traditional brunch menu and would rather Noko for dinner than brunch, it is one of the best restaurants in town and everything they do is excellent. So, no list of “bests” is complete without them. In East.

Wabash Southern Kitchen

While this one’s off the beaten path in Nolensville, it’s really, really good.

Those are my favorites right now. What would you add to the list? Leave a comment below with your tip!

P.P.S. Not sure what to wear to brunch? Check out some of these ideas:

Vibe: Effortlessly chic. Check out this ruffled bodysuit, and pair it with some breezy palazzo pants, or go for a pretty sundress or chic pantsuit. Add these cute Crocs sandals (yes, I said cute and crocks in the same sentence!) or these Hermes dupes, and finish it off with a cute crossbody bag.
For winter vibes, keep the bodysuit, swap the palazzos for trouser jeans, and grab a suede blazer and some fashion sneakers for a put together look.
