Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Nashville Scene. Updated July 2026.
AVO · The Gulch
An all-vegan kitchen leaning on cooked and raw dishes with a gluten-free, locally sourced bent. The kimchi spring rolls with cashew-kimchi filling and a Thai peanut dip are a signature, often paired with a house avocado margarita.
Graze Nashville · East Nashville
An East Nashville vegan bistro known for a popular weekend brunch alongside its regular plant-based menu, part of the wave of dedicated vegan kitchens the Scene credits with maturing the city's plant-based dining.
Vegelicious, LLC · Antioch
A vegan soul-food kitchen built around comfort classics like plant-based mac-and-cheese, with locations in Antioch and near Fisk University, reworking Southern comfort standards without meat or dairy.
Grins Vegetarian Cafe · West End
Nashville's first all-vegetarian restaurant, kosher-certified and long a fixture near Vanderbilt. It predates the recent vegan wave and remains a reliable, no-frills option for plant-based comfort food on campus.
