Wild Cow

Top choice in East Nashville


Looking for a fresh and flavor-packed meal in East Nashville? Then hit up this small but inviting vegetarian eatery, where photos of happy livestock beam down on a mostly organic line-up of sandwiches, wraps, tacos and salads. The peanut tempeh tacos, with kale, avocado and peanut-marinaded tempeh, are superb. Nice staff and significant charitable donations round out the appeal.
