Nashville has been in the news a lot lately for its restaurant scene, for the coffee culture that’s seemed to have sprung out of nowhere and the residents that are opening up Instagram restaurant after Instagram restaurant, primed of social media prowess. Memphis, however, is the understated king of the state. Not only does the bbq go unmatched, but it hides beautiful gems like Ecco on Overton Park for locals to enjoy. This beautiful place is well worth a visit, and once you eat here you won’t want to stay away.
Ecco on Overton Park is located in a gorgeous building in Memphis that used to operate as a mason temple. It's an intimate eatery that operates on a seasonal menu, serving up delicious fare in a bistro setting.
Ecco seeks to provide high-quality customer service alongside its decadent menu. Although the food offerings are varied, you'll find yourself regaled with homemade pasta and bread made in house, with an emphasis on local produce.
Of course, the low-lit and intimate atmosphere is a wonderful spot for date nights or family celebrations, too. Ecco truly understands the ambiance necessary for a decadent meal, and there are even happy hour offerings from Tuesday to Thursday.
There's seating both inside and outside, with both a front and back patio available for reservation. This "Modern European" bistro has quickly stolen the hearts of locals and is slowly becoming better known to tourists. The wine list is lovely and the patio seating is perfect for warm nights, so make sure to stop by or make a reservation for your next special event.
