#2 in Healthy + plant-based
What to get
- OG nachos with cauliflower-walnut chorizo and coconut cream
- The Wild Nashville salad (foraged local greens)
- Chocolate avocado tart with walnut-date crust
- The avocado margarita (on the menu since day one) or a zero-proof spicy paloma
When to go
Solo lunch at the bar (a Scene writer's go-to). AVO also runs yoga + brunch mornings: 10 am vinyasa, then brunch at 11, $45 with an entrée and a mimosa (the booking link points to Sat Oct 10, 2026).
Insider tip
Most of the menu is gluten-free and the kitchen is set up for celiac; full bar with organic and biodynamic wine. House sauces (beet ketchup, walnut Caesar, coconut queso) are sold by the jar.
