Do you want a sandwich? Then there’s one place in Austin that you need to try: Gourmands, opened in 2011, has earned a reputation for seriously great food at fair prices. Located in an old bar that’s been thoroughly remodeled, the atmosphere is quirky and overflowing with character, from the checkerboard tile on the walls to the slight lean to the building. That character comes through in the food as well. These aren’t your ordinary deli sandwiches – each of them has real personality. The menu is extensive, and just about everything is great, but some favorites include the Second Deadly Sin (smoked turkey, bacon, Swiss cheese, sprouts and fried avocado) and the Cool Hand Luke (house-made egg salad, celery and caramelized onions). One of the best things about Gourmands is the house-made potato chips that come with every sandwich. Fresh from the fryer, they’re perfectly crispy and salty and will leave you craving more.
