Recommended by a local but was already on my list, so had to check it out. Started with the appetizers. The French onion soup had a deep savory flavor with perfectly baked cheese on top. The baguette soaking up the soup was probably my favorite part. The foie gras was super creamy and well seasoned, with a sweet fruit compote that gave it a nice sweet and savory combination. They give you a lot of foie gras, which was nice. The bread portion was a little small, but you can ask for more. The scallops were sweet and creamy with a little tartness from the passion fruit sauce. For the mains, the duck confit was super tender. The smashed fingerling potatoes were soft with crispy edges and paired really well with the sauce. The boeuf bourguignon was hearty and packed with flavor. Really good. Service was good too and everyone was friendly. Wanted to try dessert too but was way too full. Definitely would come back.
Recommend sitting outside if it is a nice day. The courtyard takes you right into the ambiance of a French courtyard. The drinks are good, but the price is steep at $17. Appetizer: no matter what get the artichoke with aioli. It is chefs kiss. It is crisp in all the right places and melts in your mouth. Main course: cannot recommend the steak sandwich enough. The flavors are exquisite and each bite is a burst of flavor with the onions. The steak is tender and cooked to perfection. The fries that come with the main course are crisp and amazing. The service was great, and if you're there for a wine there are specific servers that know the menu backwards and forwards. Overall it was an amazing experience. Parking as always is quite the adventure so make sure you plan in advance to find a spot in time for your reservation.
WARNING: The front door to Pastis is a secret portal. You will suddenly find yourself in late 90s/early aughts Europe as a background character in the "Before" trilogy. You know how you always feel more beautiful in a Polaroid picture because the lighting casts just ~so~; all fuzzy in a flattering way? My memory of Pastis is like that. Blurry and beautiful and worthy of tacking on a cork board. My friend & I indulged in oysters & sardines with sourdough and sipped cocktails while we made our main course decisions. I chose my beverage, the Petit Pickle, out of curiosity, a love for alliteration, and a proclivity for vinegar. It was exactly what I hoped. Our long-suffering waiter, Robert, ever so kindly accepted my request for another pickle skewer (& another, & another.) I decided on the Poulet à la Diable, while Katie selected the Trout Almandine because she is a classy lady. Ordering chicken can feel like a "Whomp Whomp" of a choice when dining at a nicer establishment, but such was not the case at Pastis -- it was quite possibly the best cooked poultry I've ever had at a restaurant. Tender and dare I say MOIST! We were there to celebrate my blank-hundredth birthday, so, kindly Robert brought out the Frozen Citron, complete with a candle, as a surprise dessert. It was zippy & refreshing & a wonderful light note to end on after a supremely rich and savory supper. A special shout out to our stellar back-waiter, Christoper. The night would have been lacking a certain "je ne sais quoi" without him.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous Divine. Any place that gives me a pickle martini is A+ in my book. Everything here is spectacular- service is outstanding, food is lovely, ambiance is gorg. The only thing I will say about ambiance- I am young so I don't have this problem, but my dad is north of sixty and has a harder time seeing in dim, recessed lighting. He had to look at the menu using his phone flashlight. Again, I don't struggle with this issue but if you are a visually challenged person or dining with visually challenged people have them bring their glasses. The food is delicious, divine, and delightful. Presentation is so cute. We got all manner of dishes and drinks, including my earlier mentioned heavenly sent pickle martini. If you love pickles like I do it is a must, it comes in a teeny martini glass and was scrumdiddlyumptious. Please sprinkle my ashes here. Better yet, mix me into a pickle martini. That's my burial plan. Remind me to contact my lawyer to put that in my directive for when I die.
This is some of the most amazing food I have had while in Nashville. The food is prepared well, is high quality, and in appropriate proportions. The restaurant is tightly packed, but the low lighting helped maintain an intimate atmosphere with the table. Service is a little slow, but once you have put your order in the food comes out at a good pace. You can fill that time by trying out their delightful cocktails! I have been dreaming about the foie gras ever since our visit. I am excited to come back soon. Of you're looking for a romantic dining experience, or just some amazing French cuisine, Pastis is the spot for you.
Visited on a Saturday night with my husband for a date night. Parking in WeHo can be a nightmare, but we found free street parking near Humphreys Street Coffee and walked over. It wasn't too far and made getting there much easier. We were promptly seated at a U-shaped booth inside, which was comfortable and great for conversation. Our server was fine, he was friendly enough and efficient, but didn't add much to the overall experience. We shared the Caesar salad, then ordered the burger and the beef bourguignon. I thought all of the food was very good. Everything was well prepared, and we enjoyed our meal. Our check came to around $130. Overall, we had a good experience, but neither of us felt compelled to return. While the food was enjoyable, there wasn't anything particularly memorable that made the price point feel justified. It's a solid option for a nice dinner, but in a city with so many great restaurants, it didn't quite stand out enough for us to make a second visit.
I had brunch at Nashville's Pastis location a couple of weeks ago with my husband and a couple of his aunt and uncle, and we had a very nice brunch overall. I left Nashville about 5 years ago, and the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood has continued to grow, change, expand (there's a Hermes now?!). That means that parking can be a struggle, so give yourself some time to find some street parking and check to make sure a meter maid is going to run by to ticket you (we watched it happen one block over from where we parked). On a Saturday morning at 10:30, Pastis wasn't busy, but it was almost full as we were leaving, so I recommend making a reservation unless you're okay with/prefer to sit at the bar. If you've been to other Pastis locations, the menu and the decor/ambiance will be familiar to you. I happen to love a French brunch, so I struggled with what to order! We started with an order of their Leeks Vinaigrette to share. It's a small dish but very good - a light, cold, refreshing, classic starter. I ordered the Jambon Beurre, one of the most classic French sandwiches (baguette, butter, ham, and Comté cheese). It was classic and exactly what I wanted. You really can't go wrong with something this simple when the ingredients are great (especially when it comes to that butter). Between the rest of us, we tried and enjoyed Onion Soup, Salade Niçoise, Quiche Lorraine, and the Egg White Omelette with mushrooms. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered as well. Our service was very good, and this location of Pastis is as pretty and transporting as their other locations. You really do feel as if you've left Nashville when you walk inside. With good service, great ambiance, a classic menu, and good food, Pastis is a good option for any meal.
Oh pastis, how I love you so. Elevated French dining done right. We ordered the escargot, Caesar salad and for my main entree I had the filet. The filet was tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and buttery with the right amount of pepper. Obviously we had to get dessert and we opted for the profiteroles, puff pastry ball with vanilla ice cream in the middle drizzled in chocolate sauce. Inside is set up very much like a French bistro and the service was great, no complaints. We were seated promptly and our food came out at a reasonable time. *chef's kiss
This place is such a fun New York vibe. It's very French bistro and the service is great. The food is very good. Lots of help for figuring out gluten free options. This is a very great place for a girls night. The outdoor patio is so cute and the bar area inside is also very cute. Would def come back. Will also Mention the fryers are separate so the fries are gf with no cross contamination!
Nice ambiance, servers attentive and food was impeccable. We enjoyed the savory bouillabaisse with warm French baguettes and the Salad Verte with lively lemony vinaigrette dressing . The Pascal Mullet Attitude Pinot noir was a nice complement to our meal. Our final treat was the vanilla ice cream with bittersweet chocolate. (Profiteroles). Loved the vibe and the energy of this delightful eatery in Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. Love it and you will too!
So good and a must visit if you are in the Nashville area. We sat outside on a "cooler" summer night and it was the perfect vibe for our date night. We started off with the burrata and the Caesar salad, both were delicious. For our entrees we ordered the steak sandwich with fries and then the chicken paillard. My husband loved the steak sandwich and I loveeeddd the chicken. Our waiter was very helpful and had great recommendations. We will be back in the future.
The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were warm and attentive. The deviled eggs, however, were too salty for my palate. The salmon was cooked to perfection, though the food was presented at a lukewarm temperature despite being served in a very hot dish. The white wine sauce had a nice blend of ingredients, and while it was a touch salty on its own, it balanced well with the potatoes and salmon. I would have appreciated heated spices as a pairing option, but after receiving lukewarm food, I was too unenthused to explore adding more flavor to the dish.
Pastis came highly recommended, and I'm glad I've been able to enjoy it a couple of times - one time for a birthday celebration & the other with a friend. It's in the transformed WeHo area, and once you step into the space, you don't feel like you're in Nashville anymore. It's a nice size with what I can imagine to be French decor. The table & booths are comfortable. I'm looking forward to trying their brunch. There's street parking if available- depending on when you visit, you might have to pay to park. Love: service (kind, helpful); escargots (first time ever!, buttery, rich); trout almandine (beautiful flavor, cooked just right); bar steak (cooked to the right temp, good flavor, love the frites); sticky toffee pudding (first time thanks to server who gifted it, moist, delicious!) Like: profiteroles (best vanilla ice cream ever); ouefs mayonnaise (hard to impress me with this dish but it's the best I've had at a restaurant); crispy artichokes

Hi Cynthia,…
We had dinner at Pastis Nashville several times and each time was an amazing experience. This cozy French restaurant had that lovely atmosphere. Our food was always amazing. Their French onion soup, escargot, steak, duck confit and whole fish are cooked to perfection. Servers were extremely friendly and very attentive. They are always busy so reservations are highly recommended. Parking can be challenging but it's pretty normal for Nashville. I highly recommend Pastis Nashville and this will be my favorite French restaurant in town for a while. read more

Had such a great dinner experience here! This lively new French spot makes you feel transported out of Nashville for the night with the ambiance and decor. Service was friendly, efficient, and we were checked in on consistently. What we ordered: Duck à l'Orange, Crispy Artichokes, Steak tartare, Fries Everything was solid. The duck was super tasty and well executed. The steak tartare was okay, but the crispy artichokes were the star of the show- perfectly done and unforgettable. This spot would be perfect for apps and drinks. Would definitely come back just for that tequila espresso martini and the crispy artichokes. I'll have to try other menu items in the future! read more
Ambiance- transported right into a French bistro in Paris! Service - very helpful and attentive Food - artichoke was so good. A little greasy but tasty. Onion soup is super rich and yummy. Steak sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Parking - off street. Tough to find. A few paid lots near by. read more
A bright, upscale, turn of the century setting with a full bar, extensive wine list, and full service, Pastis is very good, but misses the mark. The Escargot were small, good, but unremarkable. The (French) Onion Soup is very light and is overpowered by all the cheese. The Crispy Artichokes were soaked in oil. The Bouillabaisse is excellent. Service was attentive, but our wine wine was not kept at the table. There is no handicap parking. read more

Went on a Tuesday night without reservations, parking was a pain. The table set up wasn't the best but we got in. We started off with drinks and appetizers. I enjoyed my gin drink. We ordered escargot, oysters and the french onion soup to start with and honestly everything was also just ok. So we really didn't care to order entrees there and we ended up having dinner somewhere else. Our waitress was great, she very attentive and friendly so that was a plus. read more
I have been to other Pastis locations, and I admit this might be my favorite. The Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood is perfect for the restaurant, the food is amazing, the service is so nice, and the surrounding aesthetics are top tier. read more

Hi Michael,…
We stopped into Pastis on November 3, 2025 during our trip to Nashville. We were happy to try another spot from the Stephen Starr group spot since we're big fans of their restaurants in Philly. The vibe and ambiance were fantastic: lively, energetic, and full of the French bistro vibe. Our server was excellent: knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with recommendations and details about the menu. I decided to keep it simple with appetizers: tuna carpaccio, pâté Campgane, and escargot. Each dish was presented well and with delicious flavor. For dessert, we shared the dark chocolate mousse, which was light, rich, and the perfect way to end the meal. Pastis is on our must-visit list when we're back in Nashville. Highly recommend it for a stylish and satisfying dinner out. read more
We celebrated our anniversary at the new Pastis in town and were immediately charmed by the ambiance. It truly felt like being back in Paris... lively, and beautifully styled. Having heard so much about the New York location, we were excited to try it here, and there's a lot of promise in what they're building. The food had some standout moments. The lobster risotto had a generous amount of lobster and was delicious, just a touch more salt would have made it perfect. The beef bourguignon was hearty and comforting, with silky mashed potatoes and an incredible sauce--though next time I might try the filet mignon. Cocktails were excellent, especially the espresso martinis, while the Aperol spritz was just okay. There are still some early growing pains. The mussels and fries were tasty but arrived cold. The French onion soup had great flavor but came to the table already spilled over. Bread and butter didn't arrive until we asked twice, and when it did, it was spongey and served without butter, which was disappointing since it would've paired nicely with the soup and mussels. All in all, Pastis has great atmosphere, strong dishes, and real potential. I'm looking forward to coming back once they've settled in. For now, I'd give it 4 stars, with hopes it becomes a 5. read more
Pastis has great French food, a fun ambiance, and great service. There are several gravel and surfaced lots within a short walk of the restaurant. I paid $12 for 3 hours at the lot at Martin and Houston. A friend and I met for Saturday brunch and the restaurant wasn't busy at opening. By the time we left it was filling up. I'm sure a reservation is a must at busy times. I loved the vibe of the restaurant. It has a clean feel with white and black tile. They have a mix of tables and booths. Think, a lively city spot. Our server was Connor and he made the experience great. He was friendly and professional. He checked on us frequently enough that we never had to look for him, but he did so without interrupting our conversation. Definitely above average service from what I usually experience in Nashville! I started with a Cappuccino which was smooth and delicious. The Scallop Crudo was fresh, tender, and a nice portion for the price. My friend shared some of her Pastry Basket with me. What I tried was perfectly baked. The Bar Steak was a must since I haven't had French food in too long. It was well seasoned and they cooked it perfectly medium rare as I had ordered it. The Frites were crispy and not greasy at all. This was an excellent meal. My friend went with the omelet which looked perfectly prepared. She enjoyed it. The Chocolate Mousse was perfect. I am picky about chocolate mousse because my mom makes the best. The highest compliment I can pay is to say it was almost as good as my mom's chocolate mousse. This was almost as good! I'd recommend this if you want a light, airy chocolate mousse. The chocolate crunch and piece of chocolate on top achieved the texture contrast I love. Pastis, I will be back! I love a good French meal and excellent service! read more

First time going to pastis. Hannah the server was incredible! I had an early reservation so things weren't too busy yet. Beautiful restaurant inside with dim lighting and nice accents throughout. I started with the house bread, the one in the left was a crunchier loaf than the whole grain on the right which was very soft. Butter was extremely creamy and smooth. Tuna carpaccio was the first app, chives and lemon vinaigrette were the main flavors here. It was well balanced and had a nice "tang" to it afterwards The crispy artichoke was next, it was good, but a little oily. The thin outer portion were very crispy which I liked, but overall did not have much artichoke flavor until the middle portion of the dish. There are three different steak frites and choose wisely. I got the cheapest option because I had a free $100 credit on one of my credit cards I needed to use and wanted as many dishes as possible. The cheapest option is the flat iron steak at $42. The other options are filet and NY Strip. The cheapest option, flat iron, was the chewiest, gristliest, piece of beef I have ever eaten. I think I had a visible gag reaction on one the pieces because of how chewy, full of tendon and muscle it was. I want to be clear, I expected this being a flat iron cut to not be the best. I have heard RAVE reviews about the filet steak frites. The steak itself had good flavor but I just couldn't eat it because it quite literally felt like I took a bite out of a live cow. (Again not faulting the place for this, it's a lower quality cut and I should have known.) The fries were fantastic and I could've eaten a pound of them! The creme brulee was amazing and I wish I could have it every night for desert. Overall give this place a try! I have heard great things about many of their other dishes as well. (Just order the steak upgrade) read more
10/10! We went to Pastis for a birthday dinner and it delivered. The atmosphere / design is just right; you almost forget you're in Nashville! The food was amazing! Leeks were done perfectly, and the duck was so tasty and tender. Our server was personable, funny and kind read more
Verdict: charming atmosphere, solid drinks, delicious food. Service was just ok. We'll probably be back. Wife and I randomly showed up on a weekday. The place is tucked away but easy to find with valet out front or parking around the corner. We started off with some cocktails (St. Tropez Spritz and Rue Gansevoort), which were both great. The onion soup was fantastic, hot and savory, and exactly what I wanted. The Caesar salad had a wonderful light dressing and fine Parmesan shavings. We went from the apps to steak frites: perfectly cooked with slightly too salty but crunchy fries. Next time we'll have to try one of the entrees (the suck confit sounded delicious). read more

Hi Scott, thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to…
What a sweet little space to have a quick bite! We were searching around the WeHo area for something new that we haven't had before and needed lunch to be quick. Landed upon Pastis and Gray gave us the rundown of his favorites for midday dining. We settled on the st tropez spritz which was crisp and refreshing and some sweet tea since it was in the 90s outside. Even though this is a French establishment by design, they had hearty meals like beef stroganoff, cheeseburgers and chicken sandwiches. After noshing on fries (because why not?) as an app, we split a cheeseburger and caesar salad. Overall, great place for lunch and we are determined to come back for dinner soon. It's tucked away, so keep going until you find it. It's def worth it! read more

Starters (Not pictured): We started with deviled eggs and ricotta ravioli. Light and flavorful. Drinks: lemon drop with tequila Entrees in order of tastiness (note: all were so good!) 1. Steak sandwich - star of the show! Flavor, texture mix, everything 2. Bolognese - came out hot and so tasty! Very hearty option 3. Branzino - not as "light" as I've typically had branzino. Enough for 2 meals! 4. NY Strip - really good and tender but the others stole the show! read more

TL:DR - just go. You know when something is so good you want to write home about it? Well, Pastis is exactly that -- a fantastic addition to the Nashville dining scene. Nashville isn't typically known for French cuisine, but Pastis is helping to change that. It's only been open a couple of months, and it's already tough to snag a reservation. We took our chances as walk-ins and arrived a little before opening -- and thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in. Our server, Emma, was an absolute sweetheart -- charming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. To start, we ordered a glass of red wine and an espresso martini. My husband actually preferred my martini because it wasn't overly sweet (a win in my book!). He also really enjoyed his red blend. For appetizers, we shared: * Escargot - classic and satisfying, on par with what you'd expect from a good French restaurant. * Foie Gras - rich and indulgent, paired perfectly with their house bread. * Scallop Crudo - my husband's favorite; the citrusy sauce really brightened the flavor of the fresh scallops. For mains, he went with the duck confit (crispy, tender, flavorful) and I had the Bouillabaisse (a hearty seafood stew and the reason I wanted to stop in on a Friday!). Both dishes were excellent and beautifully prepared. We finished with profiteroles -- delicate cream puffs filled with ice cream and drizzled in warm chocolate sauce. A classic French dessert and the perfect sweet ending. Best of all? We were in and out in under an hour but never felt rushed. The service, pacing, and execution were a great example of a well-oiled machine in action. We're already planning our next visit to try more of the menu. Pastis is a gem -- if you're looking for French fare in Nashville, this is your spot. read more
