Tucked away on an East Memphis side street, Erling Jensen is a bit difficult to find but worth the trouble.
Grounded in French tradition but much broader in scope, this fine restaurant has been a favorite for years, its personable chef, Erling Jensen, a fixture both in the kitchen and the dining room. The menu masterfully combines lamb, game, beef, and seafood with fresh vegetables and rich, flavorful sauces.
Wild game is a highlight of the menu, with offerings including pheasant breast with risotto, or New England red deer chops, and elk. A huge array of salads, wide selection of seafood and tempting desserts including house-made sorbets round out the broad menu.

Memphis Local Expert
- Romantic Dining: "If food is the way to anyone's heart, then Erling's is a sure bet for romance."
- Best Restaurants: "An extensive bar menu is a delightful way to enjoy Erling Jensen's creative flair with food; his take on pizza combines duck confit with lemon and arugula, while the traditional bar burger goes upscale through the use of buffalo instead of traditional ground beef."
- Best for Romantic Dining Because: The dining room at Erling Jensen's is small and quiet - perfect for a romantic dinner.
- Recommended as Best Restaurants Because: Erling's is probably the most under-appreciated fine dining experience in Memphis.
