Tempered

Nashville


This little Germantown chocolatier invites visitors to come in and stay a while, offering good-value wine, chocolate and cheese pairings, as well as a modest brunch menu (dishes $6 to $8). On weekend evenings (Thursday to Saturday), Tempered turns into the Green Hour, serving up high-quality absinthe tastings complete with atmospheric absinthe fountains.
