One of Nashville's historic neighborhoods is bringing people closer to town, to live and play. Germantown, so named because of the influx of German immigrants in the mid-19th century, was Nashville's first suburb. The district is one of Nashville's most architecturally heterogeneous neighborhoods, containing a significant concentration of Victorian building styles. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places beginning in 1979, the neighborhood now is being restored to its original grandeur. Germantown is home to the Nashville Farmer’s Market which sells an array of fresh produce.
Germantown Cafe specializes in straightforward traditional cooking with a subtle twist. Featured in the culinary magazine, Bon Appetit, this unpretentious restaurant serves bistro fare with the menu changing seasonally. Nearby in a restored Victorian home, Monell's is a staple of the Nashville food scene. A traditional meat-and-three restaurant, meals at Monell's are served family-style. Seated at tables of 10 or 12, patrons pass the bottomless bowls of fried chicken and hot rolls to the diner on their left. Get there early, as Monell's doesn't accept reservations. Located down the street from Monell's is the Mad Platter Restaurant. With a menu that changes seasonally, this intimate and inviting restaurant was one of the first local cafes in Germantown. Guests are encouraged to try the signature dessert - Chocolate Elvis, a three-layer terrine with dark and white chocolate ganache, and Italian milk chocolate buttercream, on an almond graham cracker crust. |
