Uchi
Japanese / Sushi · South Lamar · James Beard Award
Tyson Cole's James Beard Award-winning Japanese restaurant — the hama chili, machi cure, and omakase are the reason Austin gets taken seriously on the national fine dining circuit. The original South ...

Barley Swine
New American · North Lamar · James Beard Semifinalist · Michelin 1 Star

Otoko
Japanese Omakase · South Congress

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 ...

Uchiko
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...
