hungry? let's eat. kain na.

Ate's is a love letter.

It began as a Filipino food project based in Nashville and middle Tennessee. Ate's opened in late 2015 and could be found at festivals, pop-ups in the greater Nashville area, and at the Nashville Farmers Market [we were the first Filipino joint to be residents at their Grow Local Kitchen!].

It then evolved into a more permanent home at the Mesa Komal kitchen, housed at Casa Azafrán—a beloved organization and space that stands at the gateway to Nashville’s most international and socially diverse district.

At Ate's, you'll find a combination of Filipino and Asian Pacific flavors, crafted with regionally sourced ingredients and lots of love.

We are all about community and that’s why we give a portion of what we make at select events, or donate our time and resources to different non-profits in the community.

We hope this approach to food offers a space to gather for conversation and learn about the people and places where these foods were birthed.

Why the name? In Filipino, Ate means older sister, and it's pronounced ah-teh. I'm ate to two younger sisters, so there you go.

We’ve recently relocated back to the Pacific Northwest, so watch for updates on pop-ups, soon.

Nagmamahal,

Sophia
