Farm to Table Restaurants in Chattanooga

Here farm-to-table isn’t just a trendy way to eat, it’s a way of life. Chattanoogans love community, connection, and a solid locally sourced meal. 

You can’t speak about farm-to-table without mentioning Main Street Meats. What started as a small butcher shop is now a full-service dining room and one of the hottest seats in town. 

While here, you might notice Niedlov’s Bakery on menus around town. That’s because their fresh-baked breads can’t be beat, you’ll want to flock to their Main Street bakery for fresh pastries and coffee for breakfast and come back for sandwiches and salads at lunch! 

If you're looking for farm-to-table with a view, make the scenic drive to The Creag at McLemore. Perched 2.300 feet above sea level on Lookout Mountain, The Creag draws inspiration from the Scottish and French Highlands to deliver elevated comfort food in an elegant mountaintop setting.

Proof that farm-to-table is for everyone, Cashew has been serving Chattanooga unique plant-based vegan food & desserts since 2013. Their mission is to serve food that is fresh, delicious, and nutritionally sound, making great use of the local produce the area has to offer. Even the most devoted carnivores leave converted.

Hungry Mother on the Southside is the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you truly feel like a local. This breakfast and lunch cafe serves everything on fresh-baked bread. Standouts include their Trout Bagel, made with in-house cured and smoked locally sourced trout paired with fresh herbs and house cream cheese. Don't sleep on the coffee (or matcha), either.

For a dinner that feels like a special occasion any night of the week, Easy Bistro & Bar is the move. With a menu inspired by Chef Erik Niel's Louisiana roots and classic french training, all while celebrating local ingredients from the Tennessee River Valley. Since opening in 2005, Easy has been well-regarded and beloved by locals.
