Neighborhood gem

etch is a globally-inspired restaurant by award-winning chef Deb Paquette. The original location opened its doors in 2012 in lively downtown Nashville; the second location opened in fall of 2024 in The Factory at Franklin. The modern restaurant houses two private dining rooms, a full bar, and a chef’s bar, giving guests a look into the restaurants' culinary prowess.

etch’s eclectic menu incorporates innovative dishes inspired by Deb and Executive Chef Jess Lambert's favorite regions of the world to leave a lasting impression, or etch, on every diner. A wine list with over 80 choices is available, along with high-gravity local beers and hand-crafted signature cocktails.

Desserts are prepared in-house by Pastry Chef Megan Williams, whose creations top the list for the city’s sweet confections. House-made ice creams and artfully plated desserts change seasonally, providing a revolving array of treats that will keep you coming back for more.

Being from Cape Cod Massachusetts we have eaten in some wonderful restaurants. Etch is by far one of the best culinary experiences. The food from the filet to the pork was unbelievably tender bringing out all the flavors. The accompanying sauces and purée really set the stage for the entree. Cocktails were lovely and dessert pavlova hit all the notes with both silky and crunchy yum. A restaurant not to be missed. In Franklin.

Innovative dishes with fresh ingredients and thoughtful taste combinations. Served with pride at a reasonable price point. There are many choices for brunch in the area but Etch stands above most. A great brunch experience.
