Thirty years after three Parisians decided that Austin needed an authentic French eatery, Chez Nous is still serving delectable fare. This casual French bistro features a flavorful array of dishes, with expert service and a cozy, romantic ambiance.

Start your meal with a flavorful appetizer like Escargot de Bourgogne – sautéed snails with button mushrooms, Chèvre Chaud Sur Canapé – baked goat cheese on baguette, or Assiette de fromages – assorted cheeses with fresh fruit. The Salade Lyonnaise is a delectable choice, with lettuce, grape tomatoes, poached local farm egg and Dijon vinaigrette. Entrée options include Entrecôte béarnaise – grilled Ribeye with béarnaise sauce, Bar Cari – grilled striped bass with curry coconut milk sauce, and Côtes d’agneau Manon – grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops.

Chez Nous is open Tuesday through Sunday.

Nothing can quite put a damper on summer fun than a bad case of sunburn. If you've ever been afflicted by the telltale red skin and prickly heat of sunburn, it's likely you committed one of these four common sunscreen application mistakes:

1) You applied sunscreen immediately before sun exposure.
Sunscreen needs time to absorb into the skin. For maximum benefits, try to wait at least 15 minutes after application before venturing outside.

2) You applied too little sunscreen.
There's no such thing as too much sunscreen. Start with a golf ball sized amount, and apply the lotion systematically, massaging it into your arms, legs, face, back on the neck and ears—wherever your skin will be exposed to the sun.

3) You forgot to reapply.
Sunscreen is effective for a maximum of two hours, or about 40 to 80 minutes if you're sweating or swimming. Also remember that the sun can penetrate fog and cloud cover, so wear sunscreen even when the sun's not shining.

4) You used a lotion with a too-low SPF (Sun Protection Factor).
Choose a water-resistant sunscreen that's at least 30 SPF. Also ensure that your sunscreen provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Be advised, however, that sunscreens with a SPF higher than 30 won't necessarily buy you more time in the sun. A 30 SPF sunscreen will protect you from 96% of sunburn-causing rays, while SPF 50 provides only slightly more protection: 98%.

Since 1973, the Maldonaldo family has been building upon a burger legacy in the Austin area, and their dedication to creating fast food with great quality and fair prices has made them legendary.

Here, award-winning burgers are made to order from excellent ingredients, and locals rave about the food. Preparation is simple: Juicy patties are nestled atop grilled buns with lettuce, tomato, and onions, but simplicity is a virtue when it comes to burgers. Thick-cut french fries are perfectly prepared, as well. If you feel like branching out, the fried chicken sandwich is out of this world, and Hill-Berts is home to some of the best hot wings in town. (These wings are called "Dallas Wings" because “nobody in Austin likes Buffalo.”) Save some room for a “butter-fat” milkshakes, made with real ice cream.

The original Hill-Berts location on Burnet Road is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Delivery is offered.
