From a Central Texas barbecue trailer with Cajun flair to a seafood shop with gourmet filet o’ fish and a steakhouse with the best damn bread plate in town, Austin’s latest dining hot spots are delicious, dynamic, and (amazingly) still approachable. At the link in bio, check out the full list of eateries—and get your tickets to Austin Monthly’s Best New Restaurants party, happening Dec. 3 at LZR.

Our Kopitiam brunch is served every weekend from 11h to 15h. 💫
Inspired by Southeast Asian coffee shop culture, the menu brings together noodles, rice dishes, kaya toast, and kopi: the kind of spread you’d find around a busy table. 🍜

Siti is more than a restaurant. ✨
It’s a story of heritage, hospitality, and identity, shaped by the culinary matriarchs of Southeast Asia. The women who cooked with feeling, memory, and care.
Our menu brings together the cuisines of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines in a way that is current, while staying close to where it all comes from. 🧡
A table full of dishes, meant to be shared. 🍽️
