360 Bistro
Local Business
360 Bistro is a Belle Meade restaurant known for seasonal American cooking and an extensive wine program. Located on Highway 100, it has served the Nashville area since 2007 and combines a refined culinary approach with the familiarity of a longstanding neighborhood dining room.
SEASONAL AMERICAN CUISINE
Executive Chef Paul Sellas, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, leads a kitchen that draws on local farms and purveyors while incorporating techniques and ingredients from beyond the region. The restaurant describes its cooking as precise but not overly formal, with menus that evolve according to the seasons.
Published selections have included veal osso buco with Anson Mills Jimmy Red grits, short rib pappardelle with mushrooms, and pan-seared Scottish salmon. Such dishes illustrate a contemporary American menu that combines classic preparations with distinctive ingredients and thoughtful accompaniments.
AN EXTENSIVE WINE COLLECTION
Wine is one of 360 Bistro’s defining specialties. Its collection includes more than 1,000 selections, with bottles representing a wide range of regions, producers, and vintages. The restaurant has earned Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence for successive years, a distinction that reflects the depth of its program.
The wine list is designed to complement the food, but it also gives guests a reason to visit specifically for an exploration of different styles and producers. Wine dinners and special events add an educational and social element to that emphasis.
FINE DINING WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD SENSIBILITY
Alongside dinner, 360 Bistro offers lunch, a bar program, private dining, and an outdoor patio when conditions permit. Those options help the restaurant serve occasions ranging from an informal weekday meal to a more elaborate evening.
Its identity within Belle Meade is built on the combination of longevity, a chef-led seasonal kitchen, and a serious wine collection. Rather than pursuing novelty alone, 360 Bistro presents fine dining as an ongoing relationship with ingredients, hospitality, and a community of returning guests.
