Sometimes it seems like Nashville opens a new restaurant every week. There’s always a new concept, a fantastic new food to try, lattes with fun additions like toasted marshmallows or hot dogs served with donuts. With so many new opportunities, the real question lies in how we’re meant to choose just one. Is it possible?

At lou (yep, there’s no uppercase “L” on purpose. Such style!), a European-inspired eatery on the east side of Nashville, there’s no need to choose. The menu is expansive enough for everyone in your party. Plus, the interior design makes it one of the most beautifully curated spaces in the city…

lou - Instagram lou touts itself as an all-day cafe, serving up everything from brunch to wine from its natural wine bar. The brain child of California born-and-bred Mailea Weger, she brings a strong culinary history fostered in Paris and New Orleans to the Nashville restaurant scene.

John Stevenson - GoogleMaps The interior of the restaurant has a refreshing, bohemian vibe balanced with French style. You’ll feel the fresh, atmospheric inspiration that hails from Weger’s home state and experience in Europe.

Lily Coleman - GoogleMaps Most of the dishes are brunch-centric, so you may find yourself indulging in dishes like eggs with fennel bacon, or perhaps lamb ribs topped with a 5-spice caramel.

Lily Coleman - GoogleMaps The wine bar, however, is both extensive and impressive. Make sure that you at least indulge in a glass while you enjoy the tapas-style menu for dinner. There’s even a “breakfast wine,” if you simply can’t imagine your chorizo and eggs going without.

Dig In Podcast - GoogleMaps Sweet tooth, anyone? The rotating pastry menu is worth a second glance, as is any restaurant that’s going to serve both wine and cake. Bravo.

Nicholas Kida - GoogleMaps If you’re looking for a closer look at the menu? Leave it up to lou to make street corn look downright decadent.

Lily Coleman - GoogleMaps Will you be joining for a well-earned indulgence? You can visit for brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., for lighter meals from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner. On Sundays, dinner is served until 9 p.m.

If you’re looking for menu inspiration or perhaps reservation opportunities, check out the lou official website or beautifully curated Instagram page. It’s a true treat!
