By Cuisine
As a lifelong Austinite with over 30 years in this vibrant city, I’ve discovered my go-to spots that never disappoint. My rating criteria? It’s all about the taste, the ambiance, and the service. I don’t just want to like my food—I want to love it! And whether I’m out with friends or my partner, the atmosphere has to be stylish and inviting, with servers who strike the perfect balance between friendly and unobtrusive. These restaurants have consistently checked all those boxes for me, and so made my list of the best restaurants in Austin Texas.
