Experience Southern charm at its finest with the best Austin has to offer.

Fine Dining

Uchi – 801 South Lamar Boulevard

Voted Texas’ best restaurant by Business Insider in 2016 and No. 36 of the best restaurant in America, Uchi brings sushi and Japanese cuisine to a new level. Executive chef and owner Tyson Cole has trained for over 10 years in Tokyo, New York and Austin under master sushi makers, earning him the 2011 James Beard Foundation award for Best Chef Southwest. Reservations are required because of this spot’s intimate size, but the original daily menu makes it worth it.

Jeffrey’s – 1204 W Lynn St.

With an elegant atmosphere, the fine dining at Jeffrey’s is the best for Texas foodies. You can choose to dine with others or in one of their private rooms. This makes Jeffrey’s great for wedding parties and intimate dates. Its classic look blended with fine cuisine makes it a must-eat stop for fine dining fans. With caviar, classic hor ‘d oeuvres and fresh local Wagyu beef, Jeffrey’s is the perfect setting for your next trip to Austin.

Odd Duck – 1201 S. Lamar Boulevard

Founded by brothers Bryce and Dylan Gilmore, the Odd Duck restaurant started with a trailer and a dream of serving dishes with only local Austin ingredients. They wanted to use each of the items they pick from local farms to their full potential, leading the way to innovative dishes like tempura fried sweet potato with a sweet chili glaze, pickled onion and coffee mayo or braised lamb pizza with mushrooms, crescenza, arugula and jus. Their sister restaurant, Barley Swine, follows the same philosophy of local, decadent food.
