Austin, TX Food Tour

Looking for a destination that promises great eats? Austin is calling all foodies. This city is teeming with delicious options for all food lovers; from tacos to BBQ, it is the perfect location for a food tour. This food tour will highlight key stops for a perfect weekend of food in Austin, Texas.

Breakfast Tacos

To start this epic food tour, a stop at Juan in a Million is a must. This Austin staple has amazing breakfast tacos. The Don Juan is popular, and has every right to be! Expect a full plate and a happy belly after this stop.

Coffee and Breakfast

Cenote is a chill spot to get a morning cup and a quick breakfast. As well as having a relaxing atmosphere, they have great coffee and tea. The avocado sandwich is really good as well. Another great option for coffee or tea is the Steeping Room.

Brunch

The most important meal of the week is Sunday brunch. Lucky for brunch enthusiasts, Bangers offers Saturday and Sunday brunch. So, take a seat out on the patio and enjoy a man-mosa (1- liter mimosa). Mimosas aren’t the only thing that is banging about this brunch though- the food is great! I highly suggest the biscuits and gravy with house-made sausage.

Tacos

Tacos are a must while in Austin, and there is no better place than Torchy’s to get them. I would recommend the chips and queso to start off this taco experience. You really can’t go wrong with any of the tacos Torchy’s has to offer, so try something unexpected!

BBQ

Texas BBQ is another must-have while in Austin. Although Salt Lick is not exactly in Austin, it is worth the drive to experience the open-pit BBQ. Don’t forget to bring your own beer and some cash to enjoy this authentic Texas BBQ!

Quirky Stop

When in Rome! Austin is a quirky city. With a slogan like “keep Austin weird” it only makes sense to have a quirky stop on this food tour. The Blue Cat will satisfy quirky cravings, all while being absolutely adorable. This cat café offers food and drink, as well as kitty entertainment. It costs $5 to get into the café, but with a purchase of food or drink it is $2 off. All cats are from a shelter and are up for adoption.

Beer

Beer is a food group, right? With their outdoor space and occasional live music, Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company is the perfect location to grab a beer. They also offer a variety of great food options. The pizza is amazing, especially their margarita pizza.

Dessert

This tour ends with dessert. In all honesty, dessert really should have been first on the food tour, but to make up for it, I have a couple of selections to get a sweet fix. Lick offers organic, made fresh daily, ice cream. They have unique flavors that are made with all natural ingredients. Next, stop at Gourdough’s Public House for gourmet donuts. These donuts are definitely dessert and totally worth the stop. Sit out on the patio and enjoy one of Gourdough’s fantastic donuts!

Take a weekend and tour all of the amazing food that Austin has to offer. Seeking out these local spots will leave any food connoisseur pleasantly pleased.
