| Austin has a restaurant to suit every taste. Where Austin was once known for its Tex-Mex, barbecue and chicken fried steak, it now has a sophisticated dining scene where one can dine on haute cuisine at five star bistros. The Wall Street Journal labels Austin as one of the country's "up-and-coming culinary hot spots." In the past four years, three Austin chefs (Tyson Cole of Uchi; David Bull of The Driskill Grill; and Will Packwood of 7) have been listed among Food & Wine magazine's "Top 10 Young Chefs." Some new favorites include Cosmic Café, Mesa Ranch and Enoetca Vespaio while old standbys include the Brick Oven, Aquarelle, Kerby Lane Café, Mr. Natural, and Hut’s Hamburgers. |
