The Idea
[ creative, playful, live-fire cooking ]
LOCATED IN A CONVERTED MID-CENTURY AUTO UPHOLSTERY SHOP IN EAST NASHVILLE, PELICAN & PIG IS A PURVEYOR OF SEASONAL AND Playfully CREATIVE FARE COOKED IN A WOOD-BURNING HEARTH. We cook the way we like to eat, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We do this for the love of cooking.
Owned and operated by husband and wife team Nick & Audra Guidry, Pelican & Pig operates with playful creativity and service in mind. Drawing inspiration from places they have lived and from their many travels, in name and through the menu, the restaurant is a nod to the inspirations and influences from the past and present. By bringing a fine-casual dining service experience to a comfortable, cozy atmosphere, it is our goal to provide exceptional service through attention to details and knowledge of products and menus.
Upon entering you are greeted with a view of the completely open kitchen and wood-burning hearth. Let our staff welcome and guide you through the night with our list of craft cocktails, exceptional wine and spirit offerings and our hand-selected craft beer menu.
