Best French Restaurant in Tennessee 2023! Best Restaurant in Nashville 2022! Set in a cozy 1920's Parisian Bistro décor, "Once Upon A Time In France" is all Francophiles and food lovers have ever dreamed of: *Friendly small neighborhood bistro, *Authentic traditional French Food, *Over 75 French wines, European beers, and delicious beverages carefully selected!
The concept is our country’s favorite: a Bistro. A french Bistro is usually a quaint and cozy neighborhood restaurant serving traditional cuisine. But it is also usually loud, people sit close to each other, it may be hard to make your way through the restaurant, there may be servers and busers running everywhere. We do not claim to be a fine dining establishment nor claim to have a “new cuisine” type of food, but we can guarantee that we are the only true, authentic French Restaurant in Nashville, and we guarantee that you will have a great evening in our unique little corner of France!
