Best Restaurants in Austin
Austin may be one of the best cities in the country to visit if you are a dining connoisseur. From great wines to a wide variety of menu options, the city continually amazes myself and my palette. Out of the all the dining establishments I’ve had the pleasure of visiting these past few years I was the most impressed by Green Pastures. Green Pastures began its 60-year tradition of elegant dining rather quietly. But friends told friends, and the word spread. Austin’s neighborhood retreat quickly became known citywide as the place to enjoy sumptuous gourmet dishes, fine wine and true Southern hospitality.
