Nashville Foodie Scene
I'm looking for interesting places for eating out in Nashville, TN. I love food with an international flavor and fresh ingredients served with a sophisticated, but not stuffy flare.

I looked all over for the hole-in-the-wall BBQ shack featured on Food Network a number of years ago, and finally found Hog Heaven. It is literally a "pit stop" with only a few tables outside, but I liked the BBQ, and so did the folks I dragged all around looking for it! I doubt it's changed in the years since I was there, so definitely look up the address.

I've been in Nashville for over five years and have made several places a regular stop. Some of these are slightly more sophisticated than others, but the quality of food is excellent at all of them, and none of them will break the bank, either.
Italian ~ Cafe Nonna (Sylvan Park)
Thai ~ Peter's Sushi & Thai (Brentwood)
Greek ~ Kalamata's (locations in Green Hills & Brentwood)
Carribbean ~ Calypso Cafe (locations on Ellington Ave., and in both Berry Hill & Cool Springs)
Mexican ~ SOL (downtown Franklin); Garcia's (Franklin)
French/European ~ Marche & Margot (sister restaurants in East Nashville); Provence (locations in Hillsboro Village and Green Hills)
American ~ Germantown Cafe (Germantown, close to downtown); Wild Iris (Brentwood - Maryland Farms area); Merridee's Breadbasket (downtown Franklin); Puffy Muffin (Brentwood)
Hope that gives you some new ideas!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I'm looking forward to trying these. I've only been in Nashville for three years and have eaten at Peter's Sushi & Thai and Provence several times, both of which I love. I have to say my one experience with Calypso Cafe was just okay. Maybe I was expecting too much having lived in Miami and traveled many times to the Caribbean. I'll give it another try as well as some of the others you’ve suggested.

I'll suggest PM over in the Belmont area. They've got great tapas and sushi as well as a great burger.
I second Marche, Provence, and Calypso.
Rosepepper in east nash is pretty good too. We also like Cabana in hillsboro village. Jackson's is good there too.
