Max’s Wine Dive: Eclectic Flavors

June 26, 2013 by

‘Fried chicken and Champagne? Why not?!’

That’s nearly the slogan at Max’s Wine Dive, which lets you know it’s not just another snooty wine bar. Gourmet comfort food, an eclectic selection of wine from around the world and a funky, relaxed setting with a jukebox is what’s earned them a host of fans. Stop by for lunch to chow down on a Puttanesca Caesar Salad, Shrimp & Grits or Max’s Signature Burger. The dinner menu features many of the same dishes as the lunch menu, including Max’s Famous Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes & greens, the Fried Egg Sandwich with applewood smoked bacon & gruyere, and the Texas Haute Dog with onion rings & French fries. Stop by for happy hour for nice food and drink specials. Open every day.

Artisan Bistro Austin: French Traditional Cuisine

June 12, 2013 by

Many chefs try to open a bistro, but few were raised in the heart of Paris like Chef Cesidio d’Andrea. From the moment you walk into Artisan Bistro Austin you know you are in for an authentic, flavorful treat. They offer lunch, dinner, dessert and a full bakery to pick up all of your favorite French pastries and freshly baked bread. Everything from their French fries to their sautéed shrimp and garlic tomato sauce with basmati rice are sure to delight your palate. With how eclectic and wonderful the menu is, it can be hard to believe that it’s all prepared with just one chef, but when you take your first bite you can tell this meal was prepared just for you. It is well worth it to stay for dessert and try Chef d’Andrea’s famous creme brulee if you still have room.

Java Dive Bistro: Charming and Healthy!

May 28, 2013 by

The Wall Street Journal calls Java Dive Bistro’s morning meal “the breakfast of champions,” and locals agree with that assessment.  Java Dive Bistro makes what the regulars call “enlightening meals” that makes you want to walk in and just sit for the day and sample everything they have to offer. A particular favorite is the scrambled eggs and cheese on a toasted organic sprouted bun with organic pesticide-free tomatoes and fire roasted poblano peppers. Another of their signature ideas is the coffee ice cubes made of coffee and the regulars are hooked. Their specialty organic coffee beans are only served within days of being roasted and you can tell the difference. The atmosphere matches the quality of the food and it is top notch with a clean quiet patio to sit and just enjoy the savory foods and coffee. They’re also a certified gluten free restaurant so they can accommodate a number of dietary needs.
