Justine's

Justine's Brasserie on East Fifth Street makes its soupe à l'oignon the French way with one change: the appetizer-sized bowl is capped with a molten layer of bubbled Comté instead of the usual Gruyère, over a fragrant onion broth. Order the onion soup with a glass of something sparkling.

A 1937 bungalow on the east side turned into a late-night French brasserie, with charcuterie boards, French onion soup, and moules mariniere. The candlelit rooms and petanque court on the patio give it a distinctly Parisian, after-hours feel that keeps the kitchen going long past most Austin closing times. It leans as much on mood and a deep wine list as on the classics.
