Not a place for Charlie Brown

In honor of Nashville Originals' Restaurant Week, I am catching up on missed blogging opportunities and posting about restaurants I have visited that are included in this week's fabulous specials. Really, I implore you to check them out if you are at all able to.

One of the restaurants featured this week is ChaChah, in the Belmont area. A place that prides itself on tapas, ChaChah is great if you're looking to make a dinner of small plates or share with several friends. Tucked cozily onto Belmont Boulevard, ChaChah features a variety of tapas with Latino flair. In fact, if you visit their website, the menu headings are written en espanol. Because the restaurant offers fresh, seasonal items, what is currently on the menu is not what was featured when I visited in late September. But I do know I enjoyed everything we sampled!

What you simply must try is the Black Tea Julep, made with Eagle Rare bourbon,sweetened organic tea, and mint. it made a fan out of this lover of Kentucky Derby's signature beverage. As a gin fan, I think the Cucumber White Tea-ni, made with Hendrick's, cucumber water, white tea, and soda, would also be delicious, but definitely more of a warm-weather drink.

January would probably not be the ideal time to sit on the patio, but it was quite delightful during Indian Summer. At any time of year, though, and especially during Restaurant Week, I think ChaChah is worth checking out, either with your girlfriends, on a date, or even for a casual night out with several other couples.

Buon appetito, y'all!
