For those of us who have lived in Nashville for decades and enjoy gourmet cooking, we'll always miss the original L&L restaurant supply warehouse that once occupied this voluminous building. Unfortunately, there is nothing comparable that sells kitchen gadgets and heavy duty cooking supplies in Nashville now.However, if this prime retail space not far from downtown had to be renovated to keep up with the modern Nashville vibe, L&L Market is an impressive use of the once cavernous building, now bright and modern and beautiful. To pull off such a transformation, you must have good food anchoring the space. Patrons will shop for a few minutes, but diners will stay much longer and impact all businesses positively. And L&L brought their A game on the food!Penne Pazze will rival just about any Italian establishment in Nashville. Five Daughters simply has the best cronuts on the planet! Marigold Gourmet Popcorn and Made in TN also offer some very tasty snacks. All of these are garnering insanely high ratings from locals, so they were very good choices.

If you want to experience the whole mall and its shops don’t go on Monday. Most shops are closed on that day. It’s worth going to check out otherwise.

We enjoyed the conveyor belt charcuterie but did not indulge in the beverages or desserts. We also grabbed a taco from the taco place within the market which was also good, just took a while to serve.

I’m not sure how new this place is but seems fairly new. There are shops, bars, & eatery. About 12-15 businesses, my guess.

Unique shops, places to eat, and a couple great murals for photo op! Good parking around back of building.
