Discover The Gulch
The Gulch neighborhood in Nashville is known for its restaurants. Like everything in the city, there is a distinctly country-inflected theme to many of these eateries. Diner-style restaurants featuring grilled meats are popular, and you can enjoy down-home sides like collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and biscuits. Other restaurants take a more contemporary approach while still paying tribute to traditional Southern cooking. Locally sourced chicken, rabbit, and other meats are local favorites. Of course, comfort food is not your only option. There is excellent seafood available in The Gulch. Local catfish, Gulf Coast shrimp, and oysters are among the specialties you'll find on the menu. French, Mexican, and Japanese cuisines are available too.
