Vino Vino is a cozy, upscale spot to sample something from their impressive wine stash along with a delectable starter or entrée. The ambiance is relaxed and romantic, with amber lighting and polished wood floors.

The food menu includes small plates like Shrimp in Chili Oil, Mussels & Fries, a Charcuterie Plate, Arugula Beet Salad, and Wagyu Beef Sliders. If you’re hungering for a full entrée, choose from Scallops with creamer peas, Duck Ham with glazed veggies, Flounder with cauliflower & sunchokes, and Wagyu Shortribs with cornbread, among other flavorful items.

The Parlor: A Vegan Pizza Lover’s Paradise in Austin

May 22, 2013 by

Meat-lovers and vegans can both agree that The Parlor does pizza right.  This north Austin spot is half pizzeria half bar with a neighborhood dive vibe.  Parlor pizza has fluffy and chewy crust with many specialty pies to choose from – which can all be made vegan.  If one of those doesn’t tempt your taste-buds, you can build your own with plenty of traditional and gourmet toppings to choose from, including house-made vegan meats like mock chicken, pepperoni and sausage.  Try the Gunnar with artichoke hearts, spinach, garlic, and jalapenos.  Their pizza is perfect with beer and if you come before 7 p.m. you’ll get happy hour discounts on pints and pitchers.  A jukebox plays funky tunes and a well-maintained pinball machine make for an entertaining evening.  Although the pizza is on the pricey side, regulars agree its worth the price and reheats well if you have leftovers.
