Hestia

American, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Push past the glass door of this restaurant in the heart of downtown and you'll immediately get the drift—quite literally, as wood smoke perfumes the air. This hot spot is all about live fire cooking, as evidenced by the 20-foot hearth in the open kitchen. Contemporary cooking is on display in both the à la carte and chef's tasting menu, and Texas produce and proteins take center stage. From savory to sweet, nearly everything is kissed by the flames or scented with smoke. "Embered" cantaloupe with green tomato and shiso blossoms is an elegant opener; and hearth-dried and blistered tomatoes ove

Emmer & Rye

American, Contemporary · Bib

$$$

Some of Austin's most popular bars and restaurants are here on Rainey Street, and Emmer & Rye is no exception. This place is always packed and humming with a crowd, both outside on the breezy patio and indoors in the contemporary, inviting dining room. The new American menu is well-designed and tightly focused. From the in-house fermentation program and freshly ground heirloom grains figuring prominently on the menu to strong ties with many of Texas's small farms, there's a commitment to sustainability here. Yellowfin tuna crudo tucked with strawberries and cucumber is a refreshing opener befo

Olamaie

American, Southern · ★ Michelin

With its white clapboard and black shutters, Olamaie, named for the chef's grandmother, mother and daughter, is a charming spot north of downtown Austin. Consider a cocktail, as their list is interesting and includes a daily punch and fun drinks like the Spaghetti Western martini with Texas olive-oil-washed gin, vodka, cherry tomato-infused dry vermouth and basil eau de vie.Expect Southern cuisine that's been given a contemporary polish, and don't dare miss out on the buttermilk biscuit, served warm and accompanied by whipped honey butter sprinkled with sea salt. Roasted chicken tucked with sp

la Barbecue

Barbecue · ★ Michelin

la Barbecue was founded by the late LeAnn Mueller and is now run by her wife, Ali Clem. The large, custom-built pit in the backyard anchors the operation, while the interior is a simple space brightened by bold colors and a country-leaning soundtrack. Lines can build during peak hours, as guests wait to order a range of smoked meats at the counter. Brisket remains a central offering, alongside house-made sausages and pork or beef ribs. Sides and accompaniments, including slaws and pickled items, add some spiciness and contrast to the richness of the meats.

Franklin Barbecue

Barbecue, Regional Cuisine · Bib

This iconic barbecue oasis in the heart of Austin needs no introduction, even further evidenced by the lines snaking out the door. Inside is simple at best, with a corrugated metal ceiling and cement floors, but it's the board above the counter that has everyone's attention anyway. Pork ribs, sausage, turkey, and pulled pork, along with a handful of sandwiches and classic sides (think cole slaw salad and pinto beans) are what's on offer, but you won't ever go wrong with the brisket. Sliced to order, it's wrapped in butcher paper and weighed before being placed on the famous blue tray. Tender a

Cuantos Tacos

Mexican, Regional Cuisine · Bib

Cuantos Tacos, from Chef/owner Luis “Beto” Robledo, is an East Austin food truck dedicated to Mexico City-style tacos. Guests order at the counter before settling into the shaded picnic area shared with neighboring vendors. The menu is concise, with a focus on a selection of meats served simply with onion and cilantro. Options may include well-balanced carnitas, flavorful longaniza and tender cachete, alongside quesadillas filled generously with melted cheese and meat. The tacos are built on thin, nixtamalized corn tortillas that are small, pliable and full of flavor, while the quesadillas are

Garrison

American

$$$$

Though it's nestled inside the chic, contemporary Fairmont Austin, Garrison has an identity all its own, standing out from the pack with its large open kitchen and live fire cooking. There's plenty of grilling and smoking going on here, but the kitchen's dishes really shine. Start with a balance and bright kanpachi crudo with slightly seared avocado and Espelette pepper or chickpea panisse with lemon aioli and za'atar. A flaky leek tart accompanied by goat cheese and a quenelle of onion and bacon jam is another delicious opener before tucking into the main event—grilled meat like the Akaushi w

Odd Duck

American, Contemporary · Bib

$$$

Odd Duck began as a food truck and has grown into a lively South Lamar fixture, offering a casual, come-as-you-are atmosphere with seating at a large counter and surrounding tables. The space is relaxed and eclectic, matching the spirit of the kitchen. The menu draws broadly from a range of culinary influences, combining Southern ingredients with global flavors in dishes designed for sharing. Offerings may shift frequently, but often include a mix of Texas seafood, meats and vegetables prepared with a focus on seasonality and bold combinations.
