Bad Idea is East Nashville's buzziest new restaurant from Sommelier Alex Burch and Executive Chef Colby Rasavong. It was honored as one of the 50 Best Restaurants in America in 2024 by the New York Times. New York Times food writer Brett Anderson remarks “Bad Idea may well be what many seasoned diners thought when they heard there was a wine bar specializing in envelope-pushing Lao food opening inside an East Nashville church. But given the level of cooking here, the name turned out to be a self-aware joke, rather than a
self-own…[Rasavong] invests the weight of his life experience in food that stretches the boundaries of
Southeast Asian cooking to the edge of Appalachia. And the wine list is wise beyond this restaurant’s
years, mixing tantalizing obscurities, affordable crowd pleasers and connoisseur selections you’ll rarely
find poured by the glass.” Bad Idea was also named a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in the 2025 James
Beard Awards.

Deshalb ist es eine Ikone

Von der OpenTable-Redaktion: Chef Colby Rasavong leans on his Lao heritage at this one-of-a-kind East Nashville wine bar that Bon Appétit dubbed one of its most eagerly anticipated openings in 2023. Sommelier Alex Burch's exciting, global wine list, which includes selections from South Africa, Hungary, and Portugal, sets the stage for Rasavong's ever-changing menu. Expect inventive dishes like a sausage roll with Calabrian chiles and lemongrass, mushroom tartare, and pot pie and noodle soup all served in a spacious bi-level former church with arched windows overlooking the street. The New York Times named Bad Idea one of its 50 favorites around the country in 2024.

    Not many options on the menu, and they don’t seem flexible in modifying dishes that are too spicy.

    Amazing ! Literally the food is so good Michelin star quality ! We recently dined here on a Sunday night; a group of 8 ladies. We were in town for a bachelorette and reserved dinner plans at 9pm on a Sunday. The place wasn’t as lively as I would have expected being from ny and this is prime time dinner time but none the less service was still great. Our server was a very nice and informative young lady who you can tell was well versed with the menu and was able to suggest so many things based on our feedback and she was able to accurately suggest how many of each Dish to order based on the portion size for our party since we shared everything. The sommelier was excellent and based on he’s suggestions we ordered a white and red wine options which all of us loved. Must have dishes: sai oua and the gaeng nor mai . Definitely a 10/10 this place is a must .

    Incredible food, atmosphere, and service. I can't rave enough about my experience at Bad Idea. This restaurant presents fine dining without a pretentious attitude. The building is light and airy and welcoming; the same can be said of the staff. Incredible flavors and complexity in every dish. I highly recommend the Naem Khao and Bahn Cuon!

    We thoroughly enjoyed Bad Idea. Love the Laotian pop in many dishes. All very unique and so tasty. Scallop crepe was delicious. Loved the crunchy rice salad and ricotta dumpling (without the chili sauce). The "fried bologna sandwich" was not what I had as a kid - very unique and tasty. The mango sticky rice was phenomenal. My husband and I shared dishes and had more than enough at a reasonable price. Our waitress and all the wait staff were so personable and helpful. Sunday early evening was not crowded and we could easily carry on a conversation. Such a beautiful venue too!

    It's a beautiful space and really great staff. Not normally a bologna fan but the handmade bologna paired with the potato chop violin is a real treat. The crunchy rice salad with sour pork was spicy and delicious. Being a wine bar, they also offer 2.5 and 5 oz pours so i took the the opportunity to try a rose from Malbec grapes. A very enjoyable and creative meal. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful meal.
