Visit AustinVisit Austin: The Driskill bar serves up the Batini! Roll like a cattle barron at this landmark of Texas hospitality. Since 1886 the Driskill has offered luxury and great service. Just don’t longboard in the lobby.

Mediterranean Restaurant · Downtown Austin · 3 tips and reviews

AmateurConciergeAmateurConcierge: Pretty, pretty good Mediterranean themed spot - lovely interior. At brunch I’d suggest the spanakopita benedict.

Julie L.Julie Lack: Get the dumplings!! Ignore the rest of the menu. Dumplings and cocktails only.

RaniaRania: Beautiful indoor setting. It’s more of a mishmash of Mediterranean food (from Moroccan to Greek to Levant dishes). Prices are relatively high. Expect additional food + “wellness” tax on final bill
