The all-day café style of dining now runs rampant in cities like New York, but has yet to take firm hold in here Nashville. Still, chef Julia Jaksic presents it at its best, juxtaposing bold, modern flavors with Old World sensibilities.

Located in a Depression-era storefront in the Eastwood neighborhood, her café offers welcome respite, any time. Fuel your morning with a poached egg over cucumber-feta bulghur and a cup of Revelator coffee. Lunch on a pita stuffed with grilled chicken napped in curried yogurt. Pop in for a rose-scented latte afternoon pick-me-up. Post work, meet a friend for a glass of rose and ‘nduja-spiked corn fritters.

At dinner, votive candlelight dots the café and marble bar with a rosy glow. And, Jaksic’s food savvy really shines, elevating eggplant with crispy chili-quinoa coating and salsa negra; bavette-cut grilled steak with fresh herbs; and pork schnitzel with caraway, red cabbage, and sauce gribiche.
Also pervasive all day is Jaksic’s genial spirit, making her café a desired gathering place in any neighborhood.
