During your Austin vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Alligator Grill
This laid-back happy place has been satisfying customers with great Cajun food since 1994. Sure to please entrees include Catfish Thibodaux (fillet of catfish stuffed with spicy shrimp and crawfish, wrapped in bacon and deep fried, $11.99), and Tequila Lime Shrimp (Gulf shrimp sautéed in Jose Cuervo tequila and tossed in fetuccini, $13.99). A local favorite is the all-day happy hour with peel and eat shrimp ($.10 each) and oysters on the half shell ($.29 each). There is a full bar offering glasses wine for $3, $2 beer, $2.25 well drinks. Take-out is available and all credit cards are accepted. Make reservations to assure a table at this popular place.
Fonda San Miguel
Step inside this hacienda-style restaurant and find yourself whisked far south to the Mexican interior, where fine food is served in a charming colonial atmosphere. Chef Roberto Sabatinez has added his own creative dishes to the menu of old favorites, including a wonderfully imaginative chile relleno (USD14.95) that employs an ancho chile rather than the usual poblano. Traditional dishes are well-prepared and the desserts go beyond many Mexican restaurants where flan is the only offering. Brunch is not to be missed; especially for those who love the Mexican custom of making the late morning meal a long, leisurely affair.
Jeffrey's
This Clarksville restaurant, opened in 1975, manages to stay on Austin's dining forefront because of the innovative cuisine created by chef David Garrido. Begin with one of his signature appetizers—perhaps Oysters on Yucca Root Chips with Habanero-Honey Aioli—follow with a Latin-American inspired entree such as Lamb with Orange Flan and Guajillo Mole, and top it off with a Lemon Cajeta Ice Box Cake. The menu is imaginative, the execution perfect, the service professional and the atmosphere comfortably elegant.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
Austin area, including:
Renaissance Austin Hotel
Located in the beautiful Arboretum shopping and entertainment area, the Renaissance Hotel is convenient to downtown, Northwest Austin and the city's shopping and entertainment districts, but still remains far enough removed to be relaxing. The well-appointed guestrooms are rivaled only by a staff that defines excellence. One of Austin's most exquisite sculptures graces the lobby atrium.
Hotel San Jose
For decades, Austin's own San Jose Motel in historic South Austin stood as a symbol of your everyday drive-in motel. Three million dollars later, and after a slight rearrangement of the name, a new hotel was born. Spanish decor adorns the olive brick palace, with cactus and sagebrush rooted in bright, tan rock and silt outlining the hotel. The hotel offers a variety of Latin-flavored rooms including two grand courtyard suites. Framed posters of legendary rock and blues acts that form a part of Austin's music history grace the walls of each room. This is as culturally "groovy" as it gets.
Vintage Villas
This collection of villas, each with its own Texas style, is perfect for a romantic getaway or your corporate retreat. Every room overlooks the lake, with many offering balconies. Golfers will enjoy the convenience of three golf courses located nearby and wine lovers will be close enough to walk to the Slaughter/Leftwich winery.
