1. Peninsula

    Modern Spanish

    In a plain East Nashville apartment building sits a restaurant where Iberian traditions meet global improvisation. Fried endive arrives under koji foam and burnt onion dust; beets pair with roasted garlic in ways that feel both playful and precise. The cooking trades predictability for character, culminating in mochi doughnuts glazed in vivid marzipan.
