If you have only one restaurant to eat at in Austin, make it Uchi. Chef Tyson Cole puts out Japanese food like you’ve never had – inventive, fun, immensely addictive. -Monica Pope, Top Chef
Grilled acorn squash, crisp rice with bacon and crab, rigatoni with vegetable bolognese... all excellent.

Very good reimagined classic southern dishes. Adventurous dishes that make you think but the flavors are spot on.
This tucked-away East side bistro is well worth the trip for its romantic outdoor space, well-executed classic French cuisine, & reasonably-priced wine list. [Eater 38 Member]

A charming hippie-ish cafe with a healthy menu (veggie chorizo tacos, homemade veggie burger) & unique drinks like rose lemonade and lavendar mochas. More of a slow-pace than get-your-coffee-and-go. En savoir plus .
Tamale appetizer is a must! After years of hesitation, I finally tried the shady (spicy) style chicken fried. I suggest you do the same. You can get your gravy fix on the mashers.
Amazing! Everything we had was delicious, fast and great service. We had the shrimp avocado cocktail, carrots, peach salad and pork pancake. Each little thing was spectacular!
Great coffee and Japanese inspired toasts. The space has a lot of nice tables for working and a little tatami room to roll around in.
This roadside mobile restaurant doesn't merely churn out some of the best barbecue on the block, it makes some of the best brisket, ribs and pulled pork in the entire country. Fatty Brisket is a must.

These folks make some tasty BBQ, and they're down to earth too! I always order the brisket, moist and black, plus potato salad. Not sure what you like? Ask for a sample...It's given with a smile.

The best place to rent lake gear! It’s cheaper because it’s further from downtown. The staff is friendly and everything is really clean and very gently used!
