This spectacular restaurant is paving the way for a new appreciation of fine cuisine in central Texas, and Austin diners couldn’t be happier. Owners Todd Duplechan and Jessica Maher have a combined 25 years in the restaurant and hospitality business, and they’re putting forward some unique concepts at Lenoir. One of the most usual is the Community Supported Restaurant aspect – by purchasing a “membership,” you obtain discounts and other rewards while helping Lenoir grow. The menu is served prix fixe style, with each course having three or four options. It is a great way to sample the exciting seasonal offerings, with past dishes including a spectacular pork belly soup with mung bean noodles, eggplant and “ham jam,” an excellent sweet potato salad, a satisfying chickpea panisse and a number of very good desserts. Don’t miss the delicious pistachio custard with caramelized phyllo leaves. The wine list is well-curated and pairs well with the top-quality food from the kitchen.
