50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Nashville

“Amazing dinner!!! The food was top notch and the price was reasonable. Chef Paquette did not disappoint. The Meatballs were fun. The fried pasta with the crunchy touches really lit the dish. The venison was cooked perfectly and there was no gamy flavor. Just perfectly soft and tender. Lastly the dessert was another delectably perfect mix of soft and crunchy. Chef did an incredible job of mixing textures. Loved this place.

My only critique… Skip the cauliflower. Kinda basic.“

“If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee is the place to be. As someone who has traveled almost 80 miles to indulge in the delicious Turkish food, I can attest that Edessa Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be missed. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. The service is prompt, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. The menu is detailed in English, making it easy to understand, and there is no confusion when it comes to choosing what to order. What makes Edessa Restaurant stand out is the presentation of their food, which is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each dish is beautifully plated, and the flavors are expertly balanced. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also noteworthy, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic dining experience. In my recent visits, our server Hanan was exceptional. Her name in Arabic means "Tenderness with compassion and affection," and she truly lived up to her name by providing prompt and attentive service with a smile. As someone who has tried various types of cuisine from different cultures, I can confidently say that Edessa Restaurant's Turkish food and service are unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and unique to visit Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, TN. I give it 5 stars, and it is undoubtedly the number-one Turkish restaurant around.

“My sister, daughter, and I stumbled upon Assembling Food Hall last night before the Mumford and Sons concert at Bridgestone. We were very impressed. It was clean, spacious, and had a variety of food and drinks. It was definitely not crowded like all the bars. The prices were decent too. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on.“

“We had to come to this institution of Southern Meat and 3 Restaurants. As a Chef, I always seek out the best places in the cities I travel to. They won a James Beard Award in 2009. Met the Owner, Rose, and her son, Cahill. They bought is dessert which was this awesome Bread Pudding and Peach Pie that was just incredible. This is a place that shows what True Southern Food and True Southern Hospitality are all about. Thank You“

“Everything was delicious! And my husband (who’s not vegan) even liked his food. It came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back“

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

This is an independently owned and operated lunch-only restaurant. There are a series of framed FAQs posted above the grill that a lazy journalist could post and call an interview.

It’s a for real joint—go and make it your burger heaven,
There’s other stuff on the menu, who cares—it’s the burger.
Adding to my review in mid October 2026.
Still a great burger and fries.
Still a no nonsense on it crew.
But that seasonal pumpkin pie shake— so real, so really good! It’s as if somebody blended your granny’s pumpkin pie slice with some ice cream— into autumnal Nirvana!“

“It's small, usually busy, and absolutely worth the wait. The tacos are simple, fresh, and consistently great. I've probably recommended Mas Tacos to more people than any other taco spot in Nashville. Don't leave without trying the fried avocado taco.“

“It’s been a number of years since we frequented Kayne Prime due to a move out of state. Last night’s experience was excellent. We were celebrating my husband’s retirement and each staff member we encountered asked about it, congratulated him and took care to make it notable. You also upped your game with the cute goat cheese tarts and palette cleanser. Last night was truly an experience above the excellent meal you are known for. We are blessed to have dined in many high end restaurants and last night you especially rose to the top. Must shout out our server Matthew. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Thank you for going above and beyond. It was a night and meal to remember!“

“I've been going to Baja Burrito for over 20 years. Their food is always consistent and is always good. I especially like the chicken taco salad. They are very friendly and although there's a line they get you in and out quickly. Their food is always fresh and they have a variety of sauces all of which are good.“

“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!“

Highly recommend Pinewood if you’re looking for a fun spot in Nashville with great vibes, great food, and great service!“

“Stayed in Green Hills while visiting Nashville and was led to ETC. with just a little research. This was a fabulous find for us as the food was beautifully prepared and artistically presented and the staff from the front door to our departure was engaged, upbeat and friendly. Five STARS all the way around. The location is a bit surprising, not where you'd expect. I t was a great off-the-beaten path little spot very close to major retail shopping and hotels, so very convenient for us.“

“My wife visited here about 6 months ago and got coffee on her way to the airport and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. We’re here for New Years and she made sure we came by. I got an iced white mocha, which is better than anyone I’ve ever had anywhere else and we also shared a Biscoff cheesecake which was absolutely incredible. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is amazing, you can’t go wrong if you come check this place out.“

“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom“
