Best French Bakery in Nashville

"A hard-to-miss neon sign welcomes you to this otherwise unassuming restaurant off Highway 100, just south of Nashville. Husband and wife Lon and Annie Loveless started the Loveless Cafe in the early 1950s as a motel/restaurant combination. Weary travelers would eat delicious homemade biscuits and fried chicken before getting some rest."

"Over and over we kept hearing about Loveless Cafe, so much so that we couldn’t skip it. Tim and I were surprised to learn that one of Nashville’s most popular restaurants is located so far from downtown. In fact, Loveless Cafe is thirty minutes away from downtown Nashville by car."

"Home of the 100 layer donut, Five Daughters Bakery has set the standards for a good donut pretty high. "No chemical preservatives. No GMO. No hydrogenated oils. No soy. No artificial colors or flavors. Our treats are made daily from scratch, sourcing locally and fresh, from our family to yours." They offer a vegan and a paleo donut as well!. Location: (3 Locations) 1110 Caruthers Ave, Nashville, TN 37204"

"Five Daughters Bakery currently has three Nashville-area locations, including a newly-opened East Nashville outpost, where lines of customers are often seen waiting to get their hands on Five Daughters' popular 100-layer donuts."

"Located in the Encore tower in Downtown Nashville, Etch is the latest culinary venture from Chef Deb Paquette and offers an excellent exceptional dining experience. Voted Nashville’s best chef multiple times, Etch’s creative menu promises to take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey with every bite. The contemporary eatery boasts elegant and stylish décor with an open kitchen so you can see the master at work, however if you prefer a more private dining experience, there are two private rooms to choose from for those special occasions or business functions."

"This downtown spot is the brainchild of culinary master Deb Paquette, who whips up inventive fare, such as an octopus and shrimp bruschetta or a cauliflower steak. Deb has led the charge on Nashville’s food evolution and now has Char and Etc. in Green Hills, as well. It’s also one of my very favorites in town—and I’m not just saying it because my college roommate is the ace pastry chef (proud friend alert)!"

"This five-star dining experience features a global menu, and the kitchen presents each plate as if it is a work of art."

"It's made with delicious graham cracker crust with a chocolate fudge center, topped with meringue, marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate chunks. It puts the fire in campfire."

"This Madison bakery has been family-owned and operated by Mack and Renee McGaugh since 1991. While they used to go by another name, McGaugh's Donuts has been serving up their beloved treats to locals and tourists alike. With all of the traditional items you know and love, like apple fritters and bear claws, this shop won't disappoint."

"Madison may be slated as the new frontier for growth and development, but Mack and Renee McGaugh have operated their family-owned donut shop for nearly two decades. The no-frills mom and pop shop carries a wide variety of flavors so there’s something for everyone. Our favorite: bacon maple."

"McGaugh’s was formerly known as Madison’s Shipley outpost, but people say the quality of both the cake and yeast doughnuts remains the same despite the name change. The no-frills dining room is open daily from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a drive thru window open until 8 p.m."

"Hadn't been to White Castle in well over 15 years or so, and I had a coupon for buy five, get five free, so I said what the hell, let's go."

"I get the potato beef wrap (or whatever it's called) for a dollar, and it's the best thing ever. Employees are cool too."

"With architecture modeled after a traditional Roman Basilica, the Cathedral of the Incarnation is the third Catholic cathedral constructed in Nashville. The primary architect for the building was Fred Asmus, and construction began in 1910 under the direction of Bishop Thomas Sebastian Byrne—Saint Martin’s on the Hill in Rome inspired the design. Construction of the building finished in 1914, and the church has since undergone two major renovations."

"Construction on the Cathedral of the Incarnation began in 1907 and was completed in 1914. With Italianate architecture, the church resembles a Roman basilica. Nashville architect Fred Asmus worked with Bishop Byrne to design the church, which is modeled after Saint Martin’s on the Hill, one of the most famous churches in Rome."

"The first was Holy Rosary Cathedral, which is now the site of the Tennessee State Capitol. The second was Saint Mary’s Cathedral, which is located downtown on the corner of 5th and Church Street. The third Catholic cathedral in Nashville, Cathedral of the Incarnation, was dedicated in 1914."
