Nashville has its share of awful chain restaurants, but it also offers many down-home southern joints, as well as upmarket places well suited for expense account dining. Many live music venues also serve food. If you have a car, be sure to get out to
The Loveless CafAŠ
, quite simply one of the best
country restaurants
in the South.
