Best Lunch Restaurants in South Austin

First time in Austin and first meal in and it was an amazing meal to start to our trip. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Accommodating outside even with not the best weather.

We dined here on Valentine’s Day so it was packed inside the restaurant, but we sat outside and had a nice and quiet meal. The food here is always outstanding and it is such a beautiful restaurant. It also has great value for the prices, we got so much food and didn’t feel like we were overpaying. Absolutely recommend Elizabeth St. for any occasion!

We went on Valentines night, which I’m sure is a challenge for any restaurant, but everything was perfect. Seated us on time, food and service were great. You do have to valet park here (was only $10 before tip) if you don’t try to find your own parking, but even that on such a busy night was really good. This is one of our go to restaurants and often bring our out-of-town family and friends here. 

We’ve been here several times and the food and service are always good. The edamame is particularly unique, specials menu has nice variety for all parties (pork belly delicious), nigiri is high quality, tender and buttery. Wine selection nice.

Perla's is Excellent! Went for a date-night dinner. Previously had only done the patio (apps/ bloodys, etc... which is great as well!) but do yourself a favor and have a proper meal there. Service is attentive and professional. Quality of food and flavor profile is something else ! Kicking myself for neglecting this spot the last 15+ years.
