There are a good amount of restaurants in Austin that rival restaurants anywhere in the world. Here are some of my favorites.
Quintessential Austin Experience
These are some of the places I take friends who are visiting from out of town.
Favorite Ice Cream in Austin
Dolce Neve is the best gelato that I've ever eaten. The gelato is rich, creamy, and intensely flavorful. The owners are super nice and obviously have a lot of pride in their product. Many of the ingredients are sourced locally. The flavors range from dark chocolate and Madagascar vanilla to fromage blanc and chai tea. I love the salted caramel, mint, and coffee but they're all incredible.
