Suerte in Austin is Fermin Nunez's masa-driven East 6th room, a Michelin Bib Gourmand kitchen serving heirloom-corn tortillas and suadero tacos.
OrderThe suadero tacos on heirloom blue-corn tortillas; the masa is ground in-house each morning.
TipBeverage director Celia Pellegrini won the Michelin Texas Sommelier Award 2025; let her route the pairings.
Este in Austin is Fermin Nunez's seafood-driven Manor Road bungalow, charcoal-cooked coastal Mexican food and ceviches in the old Eastside Cafe space.
OrderThe tuna tostada with avocado and serrano salsa; it has been on the menu since opening.
TipLunch runs Friday to Sunday 12 to 4pm; the daytime ceviche service is significantly easier to walk in than dinner.
Birdie's in Austin is Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel's counter-service bistro at East 12th and Harvey, a James Beard beverage winner and 2025 Time100 Next pick.
OrderWhichever pasta is on the daily-changing menu; Tracy ran pasta at Marea before opening.
TipThe reservation system is limited but walk-ins are always welcome; aim for the 5pm seating on weeknights.
Emmer & Rye in Austin is Kevin Fink's grain-driven Rainey Street room, a Bib Gourmand kitchen with a dim-sum-style cart and house-milled pastas.
OrderWhatever the pasta of the day is; the kitchen mills its own flour and the pasta moves with the harvest.
TipSit at the counter to flag down the small-plates cart first; the choice cuts go fast.
Dai Due in Austin is Jesse Griffiths's butcher-shop-and-supper-club on Manor Road, a Bib Gourmand kitchen built on Texas farms and wild game.
OrderThe venison burger on house bun; the meat comes from Griffiths's New School of Traditional Cookery hunts.
TipThe supper-club nights book separately and run the most interesting menus; the regular dinner card is the daytime grill.
Loro in Austin is Aaron Franklin and Tyson Cole's Asian smokehouse on South Lamar, a Texas BBQ and Southeast Asian small-plates mashup under live oaks.
OrderThe smoked brisket with rice noodle and Thai chiles; it is the most direct Franklin handprint on the menu.
TipThe South Lamar patio under live oaks is the best seat; no reservations, walk-in only, go early.
