Oldest bar in the USA, lit entirely by candlelight. It's pretty awesome.
Go for the Szechuan specialities. Red oil wontons, ma po tofu, and sliced fish with fiery sauce are all standouts. There's a great deal of pork intestine on this menu, too. [Eater 38 Member]
Chef Ned Elliott's inventive seasonal cuisine and wife Jodi's stellar desserts make this neighborhood spot a winner. Also a great for brunch. [Eater 38 Member]
This tiny South Austin restaurant features global dishes from Texas-sourced ingredients. Make reservations early--there are only about thirty seats available. [Eater 38 Member]
Bufalina raised the bar on Austin's pizza scene. Perfectly executed Neapolitan has won the hearts and minds of diners around town. Their salads are expertly sourced as well. [Eater 38 Member]
One of Austin's most underrated Tex Mex restaurants, El Meson is an especially good bet for breakfast. Check out their Burleston Road location, too. [Eater 38 Member]
Simple, thin crust Italian style pizza done right. The scallions on the taleggio pizza were delicious. Bibb salad was light and delicious, olive oil cake was refined and tasty!
Ask what beers are not on the menu. There are several beer nerds here and they always have new micro brews not on the menu.
My Perfect 6" Vegi on toasted wheat. Spinach instead of lettuce, cucumbers, lots of red onions, banana peppers, lots of jalapenos, black olives and light mayo.
