I get to Austin at least once a year thanks to SXSW. And, it's one of my favorite places to eat. Here are my fave spots!
1. Jo's Coffee
Tammy Gordon: My fave spot for a latte and breakfast taco on the sun-dappled downtown patio. *swoon*
2. Lady Bird Lake Trail (West)
Tammy Gordon: It's spring & there's no better place to start than the fun, gorgeous, simple to navigate trail around Town Lake. Walk, run, bike... whatever.
3. Koriente Restaurant
Tammy Gordon: Great vegan & veg friendly spot (also has meat). I loved the Koriente Curry w tofu & avocado. Don't miss the back porch.
4. Frank Restaurant
Tammy Gordon: Bacon cookies, chocolate covered bacon... discuss.
5. Home Slice Pizza
Tammy Gordon: Great beer garden in the back if there's a wait for a table.
6. Odd Duck

7. TRIO
Tammy Gordon: Love the Austin Hippie Salad while dining with a water view.
8. East Side Showroom
