Best Dessert in Nashville 2026: Etch’s Pavlova
Pavlova, a dessert we Americans ought to make more often, is already primed to win with me. The general idea is to serve fruit prepared one or more ways in a ring of meringue, which lends itself naturally to the delicate balance of sweet and tart I love (as do many others). Etch artfully plays with that balance in every component of the pavlova on their summer menu, with earthy matcha offsetting the sugary meringue, sorbet made from roasted strawberries as part of the filling, and even a sprinkle of granola on top.
