Hestia
New American · Downtown · James Beard Semifinalist · Michelin 1 Star
Live-fire downtown room from the Emmer & Rye team, built around an open hearth that every dish on the menu passes through on its way out. Hearth-roasted carrots are the unexpected anchor; the wagy...

Kemuri Tatsu-ya
Japanese BBQ · East Austin · Michelin Bib Gourmand
Chef Tatsu Aikawa's Japanese izakaya / Texas BBQ mashup. Taiyaki cornbread, brisket tsukemen, guaca-poke, and a smoked-yakitori program that reads like an Austin dare. Loud, packed, committed to its o...

Le Calamar
French · South 1st · Michelin Recommended 2025
South 1st French bistro that figured out how to put a serious prix fixe on the table without the downtown price tag — duck confit, steak tartare, chocolate souffle, all served in a small Bouldin room ...

Uchibā Austin
Japanese izakaya / bar · Downtown
Hai Hospitality's izakaya on W 2nd brings the same precision that made Uchi a city institution, dialed into a bar format. Small plates, serious Japanese whisky, late-night energy — this is the spot wh...

Japanese · North Loop
Hai Hospitality's farmstead-leaning sibling to Uchi, parked on North Lamar with the same precision applied to a more seasonal, vegetable-forward register. The P-38 Lightning and Hachi Maki are signatu...
