I’ve decided to challenge myself. To eat more food, of course. Ive made a new goal to try (at least) one new non-chain restaurant and one new recipe per week. I started 2 weeks ago, and I’m really enjoying the challenge so far! Here are some of my delicious discoveries…
It all started with a lovely “bestie brunch” with my best (pregnant) friend, Jessica. We went to Saturday brunch at Marche, a cute little bistro in East Nashville (known lovingly as Easty Nasty to the locals). We enjoyed every single bite and would highly recommend this spot. However, it’s pretty small and very popular, so plan to wait a bit to get a table. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Yummy looking pastries and sweets. Must try some of these next time!
Fresh baked breads to take home. Love the French blue shelving!
Jess and I agreed on a starter to share. This thick slice of raisin toast with melty (pasteurized) Brie, fresh apples, and balsamic honey drizzle was to die for! We both decided we’d order it again and again!
For the main event, I chose the mushroom, caramelized onion, and Fontina omelette with a side of greens and creamy dreamy cheese grits. This was the fluffiest, most perfect omelette I’ve ever been served. The onions gave it a hint of sweetness that was just right. The grits were seasoned perfectly. I also ordered the coffee which was served in a huge mug and had a nice, rich flavor.
I didn’t get a pic of Jessica’s plate since we were both so ready to dig in. She ordered the eggs, bacon, grits, and oven roasted potatoes. She loved all of it. She also went out on a limb and tried the caramel apple hot tea. It was amazing! Perfect for an early fall day!
