Trace restaurant adds to the Austin food scene by combining farm to table cuisine with a chic, modern ambiance. Known for his seasonal menu of Texas cuisine, Chef de Cuisine Lawrence Kocurek uses ingredients sourced close to home. Trace even has a bee hive on its roof to source honey as locally as possible! The New American menu is ever-changing, making it enjoyable to return time and again.

Customers rave over the Drunken Doughnuts — cinnamon sugar-dusted doughnuts served with three liquor-infused sauces, including a tequila chili fudge sauce. Prices reflect the high quality of the dishes at Trace, but it offers a total sensory experience, from taste and smell to sight — even sound. Saturday brunch features live music, as do Thursdays, which also include a special menu. Reservations recommended.
