Nashville is well known as a city of many great tastes, with a culinary background that stretches for miles in the south and even across the Atlantic. This local East Nashville restaurant was just named the restaurant of the year by Eater, both for its incredible menu as well as its incredible ambiance. If you haven’t been to the Spanish-Portuguese inspired restaurant Peninsula in Nashville, then you really haven’t experienced all the city has to offer just yet. Ready to experience something delicious?
Peninsula serves up a dinner menu that's inspired in full by the Iberian Peninsula, an exotic and cultural experience that has sorely been missed in the landlocked valleys of middle Tennessee.
The spare, sophisticated and simply decorated space is perfect for a date night or tight knit group of friends. You won't be jostling your way through a dark bar space or raising your voice to be heard across these intimate tables.
The menu revolves around shareable plates and delicious, perfectly paired wines. You can even enjoy a handcrafted, Spanish-style gin and tonic while you ponder what perfect meal to order.
Whether you're coming for a quick bite or a long, luxurious meal, an hour at Peninsula is a good hour spent. You'll indulge in the flavors of France, Spain and Portugal in a single meal, traversing the globe with your tastebuds.
The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but you can visit from 5pm to 10pm Tuesday through Saturday. Make sure to make a reservation online, if you can, and show up at 1035 W Eastland Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee.
