1. Le Calamar

    French

    A sleek South Austin bistro wedged into a contemporary building trades French technique for Texan ingredients without apology: seared gnocchi Parisienne arrives drowsy in brown butter; the daily fish wears almond and salsa macha. Concrete floors and exposed ductwork frame leather and shadow, and even the desserts—a baked Texas cake with pecan dacquoise—have one eye on tradition, the other on home.
