Birdie’s
Regional European Mediterranean
Chef Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel's East Austin counter service spot rotates its focus monthly through regional European cuisines, with France and Italy as recurring returns. Homemade pasta and soft-serve ice cream anchor a menu of unfussy, precisely executed cooking; the shaded patio fills early and often.
