Once Upon a Time in France…read more The building is tiny and very Intimate. Tables are close together to maximize space, the only downside was either that the AC was out or it's just so small the kitchen heated up the space quickly. I was almost sweating by the end of dinner. This was my first time having escargot so I cannot compare them to much of anything else but man they were fantastic! I have been around escargot a decent amount and typically I can smell the garlic butter pretty heavily. These did not have an abundance of garlic but the butter/eacargot/bread combo was incredible. ONLY $10 too! Next is the Fois Gras, for $17 I was expecting a tiny slab of fois Gras on a toast. However they brought out maybe a 3-4" thick slab of it. Very rich and not offensive like some Fois Gras I've had. The steak was actually one of my favorites I have ever had in Nashville. I love char on a steak, and many places just don't do that or get any kind of crust on a steak. We ordered medium rare and it came out a little more medium, no worries because it was to die for. The green beans on both dishes were a little bland, could use a little more lemon/garlic/butter on them imo. The duck was good, but I don't know that I would necessarily order it again. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, but compared to how good that steak was I would try something else on the menu next time. The mushrooms on the duck dish were incredible and savory. The little round potatoes were amazing as well. The drinks were fantastic and very reasonable priced. $12-15 a piece. Overall I cannot believe how great everything was for the price point. I think my total was $140ish. I would've expected this to be a $200+ dinner everywhere else for what we got. This is definitely going to be my new go to spot for a great dinner.

Last minute decision. Showed up on a wine tasting night. A bit loud. But going to come back next…read moreTuesday to do the wine tasting. Loved Locust a few nights ago, but so impressed with this spot. At a similar level here. No star, however. One of the best meals I have had in Nashville this year. Charcuterie and cheese board better than Grey's and I love Grey's. Crepes are crepes, not thin pancakes. Wine selection or of this world. Service staff is owners and Somalier. I can't say enough good things. You won't find the Pastis French meals, as this is mostly a creperie, but you won't find the prices either. Will return soon. Kudos to the owners

We're getting married in Italy so we specifically were interested in the Italian themed tasting, but they do different themes every Tuesday and the owner Alex seems just as enthusiastic about French, Italian, and just any wine really. We ordered the raclette charcuterie board (for 2) which was a special, and it was so fun! You get to melt the cheese right in front of you, and eat at your own pace. And OBVIOUSLY we had to end the night with a Nutella banana crepe, which is the lightest, tastiest thing to ever grace your lips.

I had a pasta dish with a cream sauce that was so salty I could not enjoy it at all. I don't know why so many chefs go to extremes when adding salt. Please consider using less salt and letting your guests add more if desired. I remember the same experience with a previous visit as well. I took it as a one time thing but apparently not. 3 other people in my party also had pasta and said the same thing.

Not sure how the atmosphere is when the place is full, yet it was rather uncomfortable being the lone party. The Sterling Vineyard Merlot ($11/glass) was tasty. Didn't enjoy the escargot ($12) too much. First bite was just pure butter. Didn't taste much, if any, garlic. Seemed like some snails were sliced in half. Everyone knows the sauce is the dish, and unfortunately this didn't hit like I wanted it to. The bread was difficult to sop up what little sauce was in the dish.

I'd definitely go back to try different menu items.

A love letter, a thank you, and a heartbroken goodbye to one of Nashville's most important…read morerestaurants. For those unfamiliar: Margot Cafe & Bar opened on June 5, 2001, and will close its doors exactly 25 years later on June 5, 2026. Chef Margot McCormack gave Nashville a full year's notice, so this isn't a sudden gut-punch closing; it's a chef going out on her own terms, after a quarter century of running a beloved restaurant. Bittersweet, but graceful. (Still not over the closing of sister restaurant & cozy brunch spot Marché, which shuttered in June 2020, an early local dining casualty during the pandemic.) If you haven't read Steve Cavendish's excellent essay "Dish Network" (featured in Greetings from New Nashville, a collection of essays edited by another local, Steve Haruch), do yourself a favor and pick it up. It lays out exactly what Margot meant to this city: how her opening was the lightning rod that shifted Nashville's dining scene from a sea of chain restaurants to the chef- and ingredient-driven landscape that ultimately earned three local spots Michelin recognition in the inaugural South ceremony this fall. I came in one last time for dinner and one last time for brunch this past week. Brunch has always been my favorite here, and sitting at the bar earlier this week was unlike any other meal I've had in Nashville. The seats around me were filled with locals, many wearing nostalgic Margot merch, who had come as solo diners for one last meal. Strangers were reminiscing with each other and with the staff about what this place has meant to them. It was the kind of communal, slightly teary, genuinely warm experience you can't manufacture; it only happens at a restaurant that has truly been part of a city's fabric for decades, and we're collectively grieving that loss. A conversation topic that kept coming up across both of my visits is something I'm honestly still wrestling with: so many wonderful restaurants have opened in Nashville since Margot first paved the way, but very few are doing it the way Margot does. The menu truly changes every day. It's hyperlocal, ingredient-driven, based on whatever came in that morning. When I came in for brunch, the bartender told me to nix the strawberries listed on the printed menu in favor of farm-fresh blueberries because that was literally what had been brought in that morning. For dinner, I had a pappardelle (sourced from another excellent local spot: Mr. Aaron's Goods) with gigante beans in a garlicky, comforting sauce that I am genuinely still dreaming about almost a week later. Paired it with a dry pinot gris, on a rainy night, it was pure cozy magic. I can't tell you exactly what to order if you're lucky enough to snag one of the final reservations, because by the time you get there the menu will be different. But that's the whole point. That's the Margot ethos. Margot has always been comfort food, friendship, and celebrating local to me. I'm heartbroken to see it end, but so, so grateful for the inimitable legacy Margot leaves behind for the Nashville restaurant scene to follow. Thank you, Chef Margot, for everything you've given this city.

Self-parking is always hard, but we always manage to find free street parking a couple blocks away. Service was kind & attentive & we ordered the focaccia & olive oil, Italian sausage, steak, duck, & Eton mess. The quality was outstanding & everything was cooked & seasoned perfectly. Ambience was intimate & casual but crowd & volume level picked up surprisingly as the night got later. Overall, highly recommend if you can manage to snag a reservation before they close in early June!
