🇺🇸 Austin Downtown Food Guide - 💖 Perfect for Dates!

🌟 Sa-Tén @ Canopy A charming Japanese kissaten (cafe) with adorable squirrel-themed decor 🐿️! Their seasonal coffee flavors and thick-cut toast are perfect for couples who want to relax and chat over a cozy meal. ☕️🍞 🌟 Interstellar BBQ You can’t visit Austin without trying Texas BBQ! Their peach tea pork belly is a must-try—especially if you love Chinese-style braised pork. Plus, it’s less smoky than other BBQ spots, so you won’t leave smelling like smoke! 🍖🔥 🌟 Lin Asian Bar A chic Cantonese dim sum spot! The vibe is modern and stylish (not your typical old-school Chinese restaurant). The dim sum is delicious, though a bit pricey. 🥢💰 🌟 Péché Craving French food but don’t want a fancy multi-course meal? This relaxed spot serves amazing escargot, foie gras, and duck confit—plus a huge selection of cocktails! 🍸🐌 🌟 Garrison Tucked inside the Fairmont Hotel, this restaurant feels cozy and unpretentious. The food, however, is five-star quality without the high price tag. Their scallops are the best I’ve ever had! 🍽️🤩 🌟 Tonari by Uroko For those who want omakase without the $200-$300 price tag, try their mini omakase (under $100 per person!). The chef, staff, and ingredients are all from Japan. They also host a monthly $150 AYCE event (only 20 spots—so be quick to book! 😂). 🍣🎌 🌟 Kemuri Tatsu-ya Even better than their famous ramen shop! This izakaya combines Japanese and Texan flavors with creative BBQ dishes like grilled beef heart. Their cocktails are also super innovative. 🍢🔥 🌟 Red Ash For very special occasions, this is the place! You’ll need to book over a month in advance, but it’s worth it. One of the few spots in Austin serving dry-aged steak done right. 🥩🎉 #FoodGuide #AustinEats #DateNight #FoodRecs #BBQ #Austin
