The Best of NileGuide

You can bet that the home of the Texas Hill Country Wine & Food Festival is going to have some great dining options. From barbecue to Japanese fare and everything in between, Austin is a foodie's heaven. A great place to start your Austin gastronomic adventure is Uchi. Rated as one of the "Top Five New Restaurants in Texas", Uchi is very romantic with dimly lit lanterns. If you want some privacy, the sushi bar is for you. For appetizers, try the muscovy duck and the baby bok choy and shiitake mushrooms. Make sure you leave some room for dessert. Regulars rave about the chai tea creme brulee.
For exceptional down-home cooking, visit The Tavern. An unmistakable local landmark, this is one of the best known and best loved places in town to meet with friends, watch sports, have some drinks and eat home cooking. Another place to check out is the Hyde Park Bar and Grill. This is a perennial Austin favorite. Some come for the battered fries served with pepper-and-onion-spiked mayonnaise; others for the chicken-fried steak with its crispy exterior topped with luscious cream gravy. But it is not just the reliably tasty food that attracts folks; it is the laid-back, friendly atmosphere, the people-watching and the late hours. So grab a table at these Austin restaurants and have a heavenly experience.
