Ahh brunch. It might not be the most important meal of the day, but it is a sport all its own in Nashville. Here are 10 solid spots to sip mimosas and bloody marys and fill up on fluffy biscuits, pillowy pancakes and eggs done any way your heart desires.

Buttermilk Ranch

This boutique bakery with pristine pastries from Alyssa Gangeri and a stellar savory brunch lineup is a true sugar-sprinkled oasis in 12 South. Get there early to secure a table or a pastry, as there’s typically a wait on weekends. 2407 12th Ave. S, buttermilkranch.com

Noko

East Nashville’s standout new neighborhood wood-fired Asian spot provides a refreshing alternative to basic Nashville brunch options. All of the options are good ones here, from Japenese chicken and waffles to a Noko “all-star breakfast” with Filipino sausage, Caesar salad with kimchi dressing, steak and eggs, Noko moco fries, or a wood-fired avocado toast with wasabi, tomato, avocado, and egg. 701 Porter Road, nokonashville.com

Drusie & Darr

The historic Hermitage Hotel is a vibe all its own, but the recent refresh of the hotel’s restaurant and the addition of celebrated chef Jean-George to the lineup make it a brunch destination that is sure to impress. Try signature savory items like crispy sushi or an asparagus and bacon pizza or indulge in sweeter daytime treats like buttermilk pancakes, French toast, freshly baked croissants or pain au chocolat. 231 6th Ave. N, thehermitagehotel.com
