Creative and eclectic French restaurant with a very Euro feel.
If there are no resos available, call in - they can usually take walk-ins unless its a big weekend.
Across the street is a cool German brewery you can kick it at if you have to wait for your table.

Best Italian restaurant in Austin. Make sure you make a reso well in advance. This is my favorite restaurant after Uchi/Uchiko.
Get the bone marrow, frutti de mare, pulpo and if you love wine and don't want to drop too much, order the Il Fauno - delicious Super Tuscan and only $60 for the bottle.

My favorite bar in Austin on the East side. Great cocktails and extensive Mezcal menu. On Fridays & Saturdays, the upstairs hidden mezcaleria is open for tastings.
The Thai food truck on premise is amazing.

Don't make the crazy line at Franklin's. La Barbecue is sooo much better.
Pro tip - Place your order a few days in advance so you skip the line and grab your food and sit on the bench area in minutes.
Ordering in advance is literally a "skip the 46-60 min line" ticket.
Get about 1/2 lb per person. The mac & cheese is a winner.

This is Top 2 best pizza in Austin. The other one is too far (Pious) so this takes the #1 spot. Its in the Arbor Park food truck park along with Cuantos Tacos. Its BYOB and a great spot to hang.

Great seafood spot but crazy as it sounds - their burger is amazing. IMO the best burger in Austin. Go here if you forgot to make reservations at the top spots as they typically take walk-ins and have availability.

My Favorite Speakeasies & Bars
My favorite speakeasy cocktail bar in Austin. Hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Its across the street from Firehouse hostel - look for a black gate into an alley with black & white walls.
You have to download their app and request a reservation - do so far in advance.
