Looking for the next new restaurant hitting Music City’s food scene? We’re tracking 25+ restaurants with opening plans in the works to help guide where you might be making reservations this year.
Meduza Mediterrania, 717 Ewing Ave.
Mediterranean-inspired dishes are coming to Pie Town later this year, though an official date hasn’t been shared. If it’s anything like the NYC location, expect a menu featuring skewers, lamb chops, and a raw bar.
Puesto, Nashville Yards
This California-based restaurant plans to open this summer on the ground floor of The Everett with a menu centered on Mexico City-style tacos.
Streetcar Taps and Garden, 1325 3rd Ave. N.
If you love the West Nashville gastropub and beer garden, plan to soak up the sun at the Germantown location when it opens soon.
A Four Seasons penthouse is listed for $33.5 million, which would make it the most expensive home sale in Davidson County history if it sells at that price — surpassing a $28 million Belle Meade estate in 2024. Ready to see inside the potential record-breaker? (Nashville Business Journal)
Development
Nashville’s Chinatown development in Antioch is making progress. While no official opening date has been shared, Councilmember Joy Styles said Pan-Asia Supermarket (the anchor tenant) is expected to debut later this month with 10,000+ products and a 3,700-sqft food court. (WZTV)
Open
Cilantro Mexican Grill is up and running in the Gulch space last occupied by The Eastern Peak. The menu takes cues from Cilantro’s other two locations, with a wide variety of tacos, seafood dishes, specialty plates, margaritas, and tequila-forward cocktails.
Closed
Make a Play Hospitality has closed SupperClub on Belcourt in Hillsboro Village. The team, which also operates Jar10 and Bungalow10, shared the news on social media, hinting at “new and exciting concepts in the future.”
Number
The Tennessee Titans secured the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, behind only the Raiders, Jets, and Cardinals, after ending the season with a 3-14 record. Now, the team turns its focus to landing a new head coach with interview requests underway. (The Tennessean)
Plan Ahead
The 34th annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival is set for Tuesday, March 24 through Saturday, March 28. This year’s event will unite 400+ songwriters for up to 100 shows at 10 venues. The full lineup drops Thursday, Feb. 26, and tickets sales begin Tuesday, March 3.

If you’re still thinking about what to submit for today’s question about your favorite meal in Nashville last year, I’ll share mine: Kase x Noko’s 14-course omakase experience left a strong impression, and because I can’t choose just one, my favorite weekend lunch stop is Succulent Vegan Tacos when they have jackfruit tamales.
