After Midnight: Late Night Bites in Austin

Austin’s exciting and colorful night life is one of its major attractions for tourists and residents alike. But after the clubs, concerts, or bar-hopping, the age-old question always arises of where to eat after midnight when most traditional restaurants have called it quits for the night. While Austin is not “the city that never sleeps,” it’s still possible to find great food when you’re dining late, no matter where the evening’s entertainment winds up.

Driskill Grill

Recipient of numerous awards and consistently rated Austin’s best fine dining establishment, the Driskill Grill offers a fixed-price menu that includes innovative dishes like honey-glazed grilled Bandera quail with a cannellini bean cassoulet and herbed crusted Hodges Ranch lamb with dauphinoise potatoes. Chef Jonathan Gelman is widely renowned in the culinary world for his French- and Mediterranean-influenced American cuisine, and at the Driskill Grill, he showcases those innovative combinations on every plate.

Travis Restaurant

Located off the beaten path in the Lakeway Resort and Spa, Travis Restaurant offers lakeside dining and upscale elegance. Veteran chef David Reinbold brings his creative flair to the Austin area, using fresh local ingredients to showcase bold Southwestern flavors for brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Pizza restaurants are also called pizzerias. In USA, you may hear pizza parlor or pizza shop. Big Pizza restaurants now offer a buffet for lunch rush in order to serve people quickly. This also helps when you have a group of people that have very different tastes in how they pizza should be garnished. If you have some hearty eaters in your family this can also help to reduce the cost of food while you dine out.

Imperia

Offering stylish and innovative Asian cuisine, Imperia offers exquisite dim sum and sushi for a discerning clientele. Using top-quality local ingredients, executive chef George Thomas serves up Thai, Japanese, Chinese, and pan-Asian dishes with a unique Austin flair.

Paggi House

Noted for its fresh seafood and innovative flavor profiles, Paggi House provides a scenic dining experience in sophisticated, upscale surroundings. The Paggi House is a historic Austin landmark dating back to the city’s earliest beginnings, and offers stunning views of Lady Bird Lake and the downtown area.

Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille

A classic steakhouse in the heart of the city, Perry’s is a popular destination for local executives and entrepreneurs. Serving up USDA prime steaks and chops, Perry’s also includes an extensive seafood selection on its menu. Perry’s now offers its unique cuisine for lunch as well, expanding from its previous Friday-only luncheon offerings.

Zoot

This upscale bistro offers a quiet, luxurious atmosphere; Zoot serves an eclectic menu showcasing French flavors and techniques, with its tasting menu a perennial favorite. Standouts include the sautéed shrimp with cheddar grits and the grilled prime sirloin, served with a side of potato puree and marinated peppers.

Wink

Another project from the owners of Zoot, Wink focuses on seafood and poultry, and does them well. The five-course tasting menu features dayboat scallops and a crisp duck breast with red fingerlings as well as a signature seared lamb dish.

Whatever you’re in the mood for tonight, Austin is serving up something to suit your personal tastes. A wide array of exclusive and delicious options are available to provide the perfect meal for any occasion

Enjoying Pho Cafe Style - Pho & Grill

Three Restaurant Reviews

Applebees nutrition information is wide-ranging depending on what kind of food strikes your fancy. They have a wonderful menu full of tantalizing and tasty dishes to treat any palate. Maybe that’s why Applebees is one of the countries most popular restaurants. Who doesn’t like eating at Applebees, raise your hand? No takers, huh? Below are five low fat, low carbohydrate meals. If you like to cook, you can also prepare many of these great recipes at home.

Applebees Nutrition Information on the Cajun Lime Tilapia:

Tilapia is a great tasting fish and is also heart healthy. The Cajun drenched tilapia filet is flavored with generous amounts of limejuice and has 310 calories and six grams of fat. It is served with rice pilaf and vegetables in season. This tilapia meal has two grams of protein.

This sounds like an easy dish to prepare at home. Wash fish and pat dry. Dip each filet in a beaten egg and then in Cajun seasoning. Sprinkle each filet with limejuice and bake or broil in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve with a side of brown rice pilaf and a green salad. How easy is that?

Applebees Nutrition Information on the Grilled Citrus Chicken Salad:

Citrus flavored grilled chicken served on a bed of greens. This also seems like something you could easily create in your own kitchen if you wanted to. Use boneless chicken breast and marinate overnight in your favorite citrus juice such as lime, lemon or even orange juice.

Turn on the barbeque and grill each breast for ten or fifteen minutes on each side. Don’t forget to salt and pepper while grilling. My mouth is watering thinking about this grilled chicken. Cut into bite sized pieces and add to your favorite greens. For the dressing be sure to use a citrus base to help bring out the chicken’s wonderful flavor of marinade.

Yum Cha Cafe (3 branches: Alhambra, San Gabriel, Chinatown)* - The place specializes in Dim Sum, a part of Cantonese cuisine that includes many small dishes like little dumplings, buns and pastries. Yum Cha Cafe serves arguably the cheapest Dim Sum you can find anywhere in the entire Los Angeles. The quality may not be quite what you will get in higher end restaurants, but it is extraordinary value for the money. A small plate of four pieces of Siu Mai, a small meat and shrimp dumpling, costs just 99 cents.

You can also add Chin or brisket. The same selection applies to Chicken Soup Noodle or Pho Ga, with the only difference being the broth is mixed with chicken cuts instead of with beef cuts, so you get a chicken-based flavor. The Pho offers are mostly the same as the offers you will find in other Pho shops, though with the distinctive Pho & Grill taste. However, Pho & Grill creates a name all its own by also offering a wide range of grilled food to offer variety to meet customers’ various cravings.

These are just three examples of restaurants serving good, inexpensive Chinese food. If you visit the five main areas listed at the beginning of this article, you will be able to find similar gems as well. There are several upscale restaurants offering lunch specials or late night specials, making it very affordable to get a good meal in a pleasing atmosphere.

One last tip - bring some cash with you. Most of these places will accept cash only, no credit or debit cards. A number will accept credit cards but with minimum charge requirements of $10 to $20. The good news is that you will be able to enjoy a satisfying meal on the cheap
