🍽️ Restaurant Run of the Week: Cookery

🤠 Howdy, Nashville. This is The Nashville Grapevine, the newsletter that brings you (almost) all things Nashville.

Let’s get into it.

Support the Grapevine

The Nashville Grapevine is 100% free and independently owned and operated. Your contributions go toward keeping us going so we can keep supplying you with the good eats and events. I appreciate any and all support!

The Cookery is a cozy, mission-driven Australian-inspired café and restaurant located on 12th Avenue South near Belmont in Nashville. It serves breakfast and lunch all day, along with espresso drinks, salads, sandwiches, baked goods, and some uniquely Aussie comfort food like meat pies and sausage rolls.

What really sets The Cookery apart is the heart behind it. It is run as a social enterprise that gives men coming out of homelessness or tough seasons a real shot at getting back on their feet. The restaurant doubles as a hands-on training space where people learn job skills, gain confidence, and find community. When you eat here, you are supporting good food and real second chances, which makes the whole experience feel even better.

I am excited to go back and try some of the Australian food. I was just in a brunch mode when I went this time. Also, this biscuit below was DENSE.

🔎 Last Eaten Review: Pancakes (topped with bananas)

The pancakes at The Cookery are exactly what you want from a great brunch stack. They come out thick, fluffy, and perfectly round, the kind of pancakes that look like they belong in a movie scene or on a vintage diner poster. Golden on the outside, soft in the middle, and not overly sweet, they feel homemade in the best way. The bananas were a great addition as well.

Have a great day!
