Fresh and Fishy
1716 South Congress Street
Austin, TX 78704
United States
+1 512 383 8877
For lovers of seafood, the search ends right here. Freshwater fish and shellfish from all over the world is available, undoubtedly fresh and cooked in traditional home-style recipes. You have a choice of sauces and you can even select the method in which you want your meal to be cooked. The wine selection is limited but local favorites are available. At 7, it's dining in a democratic way, where your inputs count right from the pan to the plate. Bon Appetit!

Cafe Matisse


A university-atmosphere cafe masterpiece
2025 Guadalupe St
#152
Austin, TX 78705
United States
+1 512 236 0207
http://www.cafematisseaustin.com
Some call this cafe on the edge of the University of Texas campus the (non-alcoholic) Cheers for students and professors, where graduate students grab a double espresso before walking a few blocks to libraries, and professors indulge in a pre-lecture breakfast taco. The cafe offers an elaborate and moderately priced menu, including various lattes and mochas, as well as salads (try the Salad Sampler) and sandwiches. Definitely try the Masterpiece with smoked turkey. It is located on the first floor of Dobie Mall, just inside the Guadalupe Street entrance.

Conan's Pizza


Still Cheesy After All These Years
603, W 29th Street
Austin, TX 78705
United States
+1 512 478 5712
http://www.conanspizza.com
Having catered to West Campus residents for three decades, Conan's Pizza ranks among the handful of area establishments that have managed to develop themselves into de facto University of Texas institutions. Insomuch as that the pizzeria's unusual name stems from the underground comic book store that once existed next door and that its walls are decorated with material taken from same, Conan's also acts as a much-needed time capsule containing a taste of UT's inimitable early-'70s charms. Likewise, the offerings still revolve around cheese-clogged, Chicago-style deep dish pies topped with such rare pizza accompaniments as artichoke hearts and chicken fajita strips. Several varieties of salad are also on hand in order to help college kids keep up the pretense of balanced eating.

Perfect cure for a cold!!

http://www.madammam.com/
This Asian joint is usually crowded with university students. The food is served on curved plates and colorful chopsticks. Chef's specialties include Tom Kha Chicken Soup with coconut milk, ginger and mushrooms. And the extremely spicy Cha Catfish will definitely help those with a cold. You must try the signature Pad Thai with large succulent shrimp and smoked diced tofu.

Ruby's BBQ


Barbecue and blues
512 West 29th Street
Austin, TX 78705
United States
+1 512 477 1651 / +1 512 477 2529
http://www.rubysbbq.com/
This restaurant features backwoods barbecue with not-so-traditional side dishes, including collard greens and vinaigrette coleslaw. Musical legends such as Buddy Guy and Maceo Parker have dined here, and the restaurant decor reflects this down-home blues appeal. The restaurant serves the only barbecue made with all-natural beef in Texas and a house sauce that is one of the tastiest around. Beer and wine are offered. Catering is also available. See their website for further information.

Thai Kitchen


Thai food with personality
3009 Guadalupe St
Austin, TX 78705
United States
+1 512 474 2575
If spice is what you are looking for, this is the place. Thai Kitchen is one of the best places in Austin to liven up your taste buds with some unusual ethnic fare. The extensive menu denotes the degree of spice in each dish (fried curry rice to vermicelli stir-frys) and the four-pepper dishes will have you drinking more water than usual. Highly recommended, the Ba Mi Num soup, made with chicken broth, ginger, cilantro, lime, bean sprouts and your choice of meat, is a pleasant way to cure the sniffles. And although the wait staff seems a little gruff at times, it may be because the place is so packed, but do not let that stop you. This is a great place for anyone seeking a nice, hot bowl of something tasty.
