Hey Austin foodies! Get ready to take your taste buds on a delicious adventure because OpenTable has just unveiled its very first list of the top 10 eateries in our fabulous city! Yes, you heard it right! This popular restaurant reservation company has launched a new initiative called OpenTable Icons that highlights restaurants that are totally worth booking. From tasty tacos to tantalizing jerk chicken, Austin’s culinary scene keeps growing and it’s time to dig in!
If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling through endless restaurant options, wishing for a shortcut to the best places, OpenTable is here to help! This brand-new list is aimed at showcasing some of the most in-demand dining spots across our vibrant city. And guess what? Austin now joins cities like Boston, Chicago, and Miami in this exciting initiative!
OpenTable’s list is packed with an array of flavors, mainly on the pricier side. With options that span different cuisines including Italian, Mexican, Caribbean, and Japanese, it looks like our options for dining out just got a whole lot more exciting! Buckle up because we’re about to dive into a few of the highlights!
First up on the list is the charming Canje. This East Austin hotspot is named after the Canje pheasant, the national bird of Guyana. Imagine stepping into a lively atmosphere filled with the sounds of infectious music, vibrant cocktails, and the enticing aromas of Caribbean dishes. Chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph, a native of Guyana, creatively blends traditional recipes with modern twists. You simply cannot miss their classic jerk chicken and wild boar pepperpot which have garnered rave reviews. With tropical wallpaper and palm fronds adorning the space, Canje promises a feast not just for the stomach but also for the eyes!
Next, we’ve got Suerte, a place where Mexican flavors shine bright! Guided by Chef Fermín Núñez, who has been awarded titles like Eater Austin’s 2018 chef of the year, this restaurant draws inspiration directly from Mexico. Their dishes showcase a love for handmade masa, which shines through in their tacos and tostadas. Think bistec con chichilo featuring an 8-ounce wagyu steak laid over a rich mole chichilo. Plus, don’t forget to take a bite of their ceviche or barbacoa. It’s all about celebrating the authentic flavors of the region!
And let’s not overlook Prélude, the only bar on the list. Nestled in a historic West Austin home, this classy spot is all about canapés and creative cocktails. How about sipping on a unique Corn & Rice drink or the refreshing Apple & Pea? With chef Mathew Peters, who has the remarkable accomplishment of being the only American to win the prestigious Bocuse d’Or, every bite and sip is a journey of culinary excellence. Their playful take on dishes, such as corn hushpuppies elevated with Iberico ham and black truffle sauce, is sure to leave you craving more!
With such an impressive lineup, it’s easy to see why OpenTable has spotlighted these dining gems. Each restaurant offers something unique, making it simple for you to pick out your next dinner destination or a fun night out with friends. So, what are you waiting for?
