It seems unlikely that Brussels sprouts, a healthy leafy green, can be found on almost every menu in Nashville, as a side, an appetizer, or even in a salad. However, don’t be alarmed by their leafy quality. These sprouts are oily, decadent and absolutely delicious.

Two words: truffle oil. Yup, you heard me. Who doesn’t love truffle? Truffle fries, truffle pizza, now truffle brussels. These are absolutely too good to be true and the best that M Street has to offer.

Prepared with fish sauce vinaigrette and crushed chiles, Virago’s sprouts are absolutely mouth-watering. While you usually would not see brussels on an Asian menu, they complement the infamous crispy rice and spicy tuna dish perfectly.

M Street really does kill the Brussels game with their sweet and savory pancetta and green apple combination. You have to taste it to believe it. Trust me.

Jackson’s in Hillsboro Village has a brussels sprouts dish that is perfect for the more health-conscious veggie lovers out there. These are not your typical decadent side-dish, but are a nice addition to your favorite wraps and sandwiches.
