Liberty Common

Think of Liberty Common as a super-sized French bistro. There’s sunlight streaming through massive windows onto whitewashed walls, powder blue booths and banquettes packed with Emily in Paris wannabes rehashing last night, and outdoor tables for optimal people-watching. But you’re still in Nashville, so naturally, there are fried chicken biscuits and southern-fried pickles on the brunch menu. Along with smashed avocado on toasted baguettes and croque madames on chewy sourdough. It works when you want to impress without looking like you’re trying too hard—how very French of you.
