Eating in Nashville

Listening Room Cafe
As we did not have tickets to a specific show, we decided to join the line in front of The Listening Room Cafe as there was a good chance to still get tickets to get in that night. We waited for about an hour and were then shown to our table. The Listening Room Cafe had two events that night and we had the fantastic opportunity to listen to three talented and successful singer-songwriters who entertained us while we enjoyed our dinner. The three singers we saw are called Taylor Phillips , Adam Doleac and Ricky Young. They were all fantastic, but my personal favourite was Adam. And we definitely enjoyed the food too and even tried the typical Southern dish of Fried tomatoes which I will definitely eat again. Yummy! What a great experience this was! After our visit to The Listening Room Cafe, we visited some of the bars and venues along Broadway, drank some beer, heard some great bands play the classics, and danced to the tunes. Altogether a fabulous day in Nashville all around. If you are into music, go and check it out!

Brunch
We wanted to experience a real modern American Brunch and I searched for the perfect place. I came across the "Butcher & Bee" and we gave it a try. It is located a little bit away from the city in what looks like an old warehouse. We walked in and instantly loved the look and feel of it. High ceilings, open space, exposed brick walls, and a great, promising smell of food.
Like in many American restaurants there were seats at the bar but here, there was also seating at the kitchen. We at the open kitchen bar and we got to watch the chefs at work. Alex chose a breakfast burrito and I went for the Shakshuka, a spicy tomato and pepper dish with poached eggs and pita bread! Absolutely fantastic! Overall my favourite restaurant experience of this whole trip. Everything was perfect. Stylish atmosphere, cool interior design, fast and friendly service, and delicious food! I wish someone would open a place like this in Berlin!
