Sit at the bar that overlooks an open kitchen and ooh and aah over show- stoppers like the Richardson Farms pork belly and the parsnip and ginger soup finished with bowfin caviar. Don't forget an order of the melt-in-your-mouth gruyere popovers and check on the seasonal specials.

1000 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78702 (map)
This dining gem comes to us from the family that runs Mi Madre’s on Manor Road (where the breakfast tacos and migas have been reeling us in for more than 20 years). This son and daughter-in-law extension is run by executive chef Edgar Torres and his wife, Christina Torres. Zandunga, which means elegance and grace, is fittingly named; the quaint bistro serves authentic interior Mexican dishes prepared with elegant European cooking techniques.

Occupying the former Thai Tara space, Haddingtons is an American tavern located on bustling West 6th Street. Executive Chef Zack Northcutt (Mulberry), prepares cuisine best described as American with British influences. The drinks here deserve equal accolades.

Brought to us by Chef Shawn Cirkiel (formerly of Jean-Luc, currently at Parkside), Backspace is literally located in the backspace of Parkside. Chef is turning out traditional Neapolitan pizzas from a Forni Cirigliano wood-fired pizza oven, along with salads and sides. Come thirsty; the all-Italian wine list is noteworthy.

Katz's Deli

618 W 6th St, Austin, TX 78701 (map)
The always-illuminated sign that read Katz's Never Kloses went dark. A staple in Austin for over 30 years whose pastramis on rye will be missed. Guess we'll have to venture to New York for the original deli that never kloses.
