We are grateful for a weekend of gathering, our dedicated team, and each guest who joined us in celebration.
 
As brunch comes to a close, we thank you for being part of it. Buona Pasqua from all of us at Yolan.

Beet Root Tartare // whipped goat cheese, quince, hibiscus
 
Chef de Cuisine Jeremy Dobson intensifies the flavor of a classic beet salad by roasting the star ingredient in our wood fired oven, followed by slow dehydration.

The dish is finished with layered texture: a delicate rice cracker suspended above whipped goat cheese and a vibrant dusting of beet powder

On World Bartender Day, we raise a glass to the craftsmanship and artistry behind our bar. Meet Kyle Hadar, Lead Bartender at Yolan.
 
Originally from Carlisle, Indiana, Kyle brings nearly a decade of experience within Nashville’s hospitality landscape, spanning the cadence of neighborhood bars to the polish of fine dining. His approach is defined by precision, curiosity, and an instinctive sense of welcome.
 
At Yolan, he shapes our cocktail program with a reverence for seasonality and balance, crafting pairings that mirror the spirit of the Italian table. As he pursues his sommelier certification, his exploration of food, wine, and spirits continues to deepen the dialogue between glass and plate.
 
Today, we celebrate the dedication, discipline, and generosity of bartenders everywhere — and we are grateful for Kyle’s steady presence at the heart of ours… Bravo!

Carne Cruda all’Albese // steak tartare, quail egg, mustard, cornichon, focaccia
 
An enduring expression of Piemonte’s reverence for pristine ingredients, Carne Cruda all’Albese reflects the quiet confidence of the Langhe. In this northern tradition, the quality of the beef is paramount, seasoned with restraint to allow texture and nuance to unfold naturally.
 
Hand-cut Doddy Creek beef is folded with pickled mustard seeds, cornichon, capers, fine herbs and a touch of Controne pepper. A quail egg lends silken richness when stirred through, while grilled focaccia offers warmth and contrast.

In celebration of the Winter Games, our Espresso Bar continues its alpine tribute through February 28. Pasticceria Alpina features two limited-time pastries rooted in Northern Italy’s mountain traditions.
 
The Tomato–Basil Asiago Danish layers delicate, laminated dough with tomato–basil béchamel and Veneto’s asiago, prized for its alpine character and supple melt. The Miascia Apple Muffin draws from Lombardia’s rustic bread pudding, folding apples into tender croissant dough and finishing with pane caramello.
 
Order via Uber Eats or join us daily from 6 am to 3 pm for a taste of the Italian Alps, lingering beyond the closing ceremony.

Aperitivo Alpino celebrates the spirit of the 2026 Winter Games with a tribute to Northern Italy’s mountain regions, where alpine air, sparkling Franciacorta, and time-honored fare define the season.
 
Daily from 3 pm to 5 pm, join us for an elevated pause echoing the warmth of Veneto and Lombardia. Savor regional pours and bites, such as Polenta Taragna Fritta with melted Bitto and warm Gnocchi con la Fioretta, amidst the glow of Yolan’s welcoming bar.
