Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation Austin and Austin Chronicle. Updated July 2026.
Mattie's · Bouldin Creek
Infatuation pick. A historic South Austin mansion with wraparound porches. Buttermilk biscuits with chorizo cream gravy are the house signature.
Sawyer & Co · Govalle
Infatuation pick. A 1950s-diner-meets-Louisiana. Cajun scrambles with crawfish étouffée and pork carnitas benedict with queso and biscuits.
Dai Due · Cherrywood
Infatuation pick; Michelin Green Star and Bib Gourmand. Wood-fire grilling, whole-animal butchery, tallow-fried everything.
Paperboy East · East Austin
A trailer-turned-restaurant from Odd Duck alum Zechariah Perez, known for seasonal sweet and savory toasts and a tight, produce-driven breakfast menu. The rotating toasts pile fresh, local ingredients onto thick slabs of good bread, and the coffee-and-biscuit game is strong. With an East Austin original and a South Lamar location, it has become a reliable, ingredient-forward morning stop.
Hillside Farmacy · East Austin
Chef Sonya Cote's farm-to-table brunch inside a lovingly preserved 1950s pharmacy on East 11th, with vintage tile, a marble counter, and a garden patio. The menu leans seasonal and Southern, from Oysters Rockefeller to roasted pork belly and a strong egg-dish lineup. Weekend brunch runs mostly walk-in, and the throwback setting makes it as much a scene as a meal.
