Breakfast/coffee

Granny's taco truck right off 7th in East Austin. We recommend the Rico!

Civil Goat, where Brian gets coffee every Saturday morning before Cora gets out of bed. Brian likes the Guadalupe location and Cora likes the Manor location. They have great breakfast options, but you will get more bang for your buck at Granny's.

Epicerie for the best kept brunch secret in town! (They don't take reservations.)

Snacking

Antonelli's Cheese Shop in Hyde Park.

Lunch

Homeslice Pizza, Food Heads (fresh sandwiches), Elizabeth Street Cafe (French-Vietnamese), or Uncle Nicky's (counter-service Italian and gelato).

Or Bill's Oyster in downtown for an upscale oyster bar with great seafood offerings.

Dinner/drinks

The Dead Rabbit is an Irish restaurant/bar with a very fun atmosphere that just opened across from the Driskill on Sixth Street. Great food, if you're longing for some of your Irish/UK favorites, and great staff.

Alternatively, Murray's Tavern is an elevated New York style tavern in East Austin.

For finer dining, check out Lenoir (small plates/local ingredients), Pecan Square Cafe (beautiful interior and high-quality food), Peacock (mediterranean), Uchi (sushi), Clark's Oyster Bar, and Dai Due (a meat lover's paradise--more casual than the others).

Dive bars

Nickel City or Donn's Depot.
