Downtown Austin's Best Brunch

Downtown Austin is beautiful to explore on a Sunday, especially when you have dined at one of these top downtown brunch spots!  Grab a bite to eat, listen to some music, check out the capitol, do a little shopping or explore the museums!    

1) Stubb's Bar-B-Q and their Gospel Brunch is one of the most well-known Sunday rituals in Austin.  Southern favorites fill the buffet--from fried catfish and brisket to grits and migas. Top off the experience with a Bloody Mary from the make-your-own-Bloody-Mary bar. 801 Red River Street, 512.480-8341

2) Lambert's is across the street from City Hall in the hip Warehouse District; Austin would not be complete without a barbeque brunch made with local and sustainable ingredients! Help yourself to some traditional breakfast items peppered amongst the BBQ staples, like tender brisket, ribs and standard sides like potato salad and ranch style beans. 401 2nd Street, 512.494.1500

3) Starlite is a funky, fun brunch where dishes are priced individually, and there is everything from Starlite French Toast to Steak and Eggs or how about Thai crab cakes.  The service here is exceptional and the wine list is beautiful.  There may not be live music, but the food sings plenty! 407 Colorado Street, 512.374.9012

4) Manuel's is a modern Mexican joint that puts on a jazz brunch each and every Sunday. Local jazz artists perform while hungry patrons feast on breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros, and flautas all reasonably priced.  Plus, who can resist a signature Mexican mimosa or a mango daiquiri?
