Enjoy La Dolce Vita at The Pink Hermit by Jean-Georges, as Nashville’s Chicest Café Introduces Wood-Fired Pizzas, Salads and Tapas
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 06, 2023 -- Just in time for summer, when balmy evenings invite al fresco dining and lingering by candlelight, The Pink Hermit by Jean-Georges at The Hermitage Hotel has introduced a new Italian-inspired café menu conceived by acclaimed international chef and restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Featuring pizzas, bruschettas and shared plates, complemented by an extensive wine selection and craft cocktails, The Pink Hermit’s new full-service evening experience takes inspiration from the stylish neighborhood cafés of Italy.
From its charming, light-filled space on the corner of 6th Avenue and Union Street, the Pink Hermit offers both indoor and outdoor seating and is the perfect location to gather and enjoy a casual bite any time of day. Mornings begin with JGV Request coffee and house-baked artisanal pastries. Full tableside service begins at 11 a.m. with lunch and a new day-into-evening menu offering a robust selection of wood-fired pizzas, bruschettas, shareable salads and small plates. Evenings begin with craft cocktails and Aperitivo Hour, with tableside service continuing until 9 p.m. Welcoming hotel guests and Nashville neighbors alike, The Pink Hermit is both the perfect first stop of the day and last stop of the night. The café serves as an intimate complement to Drusie & Darr by Jean-Georges, The Hermitage Hotel’s flagship restaurant, which opened to acclaim in November 2021.
“We’re incredibly thankful to Nashville for warmly welcoming us since we opened Drusie & Darr and The Pink Hermit just over a year ago. This July, we’re excited to expand the menu at The Pink Hermit, offering a taste of seasonal salads, bruschettas, wood-fired pizzas and more, with our flair,” says Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
“The Pink Hermit is joyfully curated and welcoming for all occasions,” said Dee Patel, Managing Director, The Hermitage Hotel. “The Hermitage Hotel has served as Nashville’s social living room for over a century and now, The Pink Hermit will be another celebrated gathering place to slow down and cherish good company akin to the Italian Aperitivo tradition.”
Highlights from The Pink Hermit’s new lunch and dinner menu include six varieties of bruschetta with toppings such as lemon ricotta and basil with olive oil and honey; burrata and zucchini with red chili, olive oil, lemon and mint; or parma prosciutto with black fig. Handmade pizzas include Jean-Georges’ famous black truffle three-cheese pizza; and avocado pizza with jalapeno, cilantro and lime. Seasonal salads include lacinato kale with black currants, Tuscan pecorino, radishes, pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette; and farro, cauliflower and asparagus with hardboiled farm egg and herb dressing. Sweet endings include Basque cheesecake, tiramisu, and seasonal sorbets. The wine list features French and Italian wine and cocktails such as Aperol Spritz, a Pink Daiquiri, and signature JG Negroni.
The Pink Hermit’s inspired new concept is the latest complement to The Hermitage Hotel’s recent top-to-bottom design refresh. Blending past with present, the hotel’s revitalized guest rooms, lobby and common spaces beautifully honor its landmarked architecture while introducing a fresh new point of view with updated furnishings, a bright color palate, and a dramatic restaurant update under the direction of the hotel’s culinary collaborator and world-renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, featuring the addition of signature restaurant Drusie & Darr.
