Germantown Cafe

I should preface this blurb with I am not a food writer.  I simply want to let fellow vegetarian/vegan Nashvillians know what out there as far as vegetarian/vegan dining goes in our city.  As I've mentioned before, there isn't exactly a plethora of options to choose from.  More often than not, I end up getting a couple of side dishes, as way too often, no vegetarian options are offered.

If you want a really good vegetarian entree, check out the Germantown Cafe in the up-and-coming Historic Germantown area close to the Farmers' Market in Nashville.  I seriously love their Green Plate.  Grilled portobello mushrooms, butternut squash gratin, sauteed spinach, and asparagus.  The presentation is excellent, but more importantly it's really, really good.

Reservations recommended for dinner.  

Vegetarian Entree Option: Yes, the Green Plate ($13.95) , also, the Pasta of the Day ($11.95), just double check to make sure the pasta of the day is; it always has been when I've been there. 


Vegan Entree Option:  The Green Plate can be made vegan by eliminating the butternut squash gratin and swapping it with a vegan side such as rice; also, I would imagine the Pasta of the Day could be made vegan as well. They are very accommodating.
