Mediterranean Restaurants in Tennessee

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into Nashville, he discovered that Music City’s culinary scene hits all the right notes—especially when it comes to Mediterranean flavors. Between 2010 and 2021, the spiky-haired host featured two standout Mediterranean spots that brought the tastes of the Old World to the heart of Tennessee.

Leading the pack is Fattoush Cafe, a Nashville gem boasting a 4.5-star rating that had Guy reaching for seconds of their authentic dishes. Not far behind, Athens Family Restaurant earned its place in Triple D history with a solid 4.4-star reputation for serving up Greek and Mediterranean classics that keep locals coming back for more.

While one of these beloved establishments has since closed its doors, Nashville’s Mediterranean food scene continues to thrive. With an average rating of 4.5 stars across Guy’s Tennessee Mediterranean picks, it’s clear that Music City knows how to deliver bold, flavorful cuisine that transports diners straight to the shores of the Aegean—no passport required.
