Cake balls: Not just for breakfast anymore. The menu here features appetizers, salads, entrées, soups, and desserts complemented by a well-chosen wine list, a selection of local craft beers in bottles, and a roster of custom cocktails. review
3401 Esperanza Crossing #104 + 512/215-3633
the backspace
Winner of 2011’s Best of Austin Critics Pick for Best Dinner Destination on a Damp, Cold Night, this place is about as authentically Italian as you can get without jumping on a plane to Parma. Antipasti, Neopolitan pizza, and a good wine list make for good shelter here. review
507 San Jacinto + 512/474-9899
Bacon
Fans of humble hogmeat will adore this pork parlor that offers breakfast all day, and bacon worthy of the name. Local beers and homemade desserts round out your cholesterol and carbohydrate intake. review

Barley Swine
This popular gastro-pub offers small plates of skillfully prepared seasonal and local foods. review
2024 S. Lamar + 512/394-8150
Bartlett's
Is the kind of place you pass by without noticing. Next time you shop on West Anderson, stop in for a great prime rib or a filling, fresh Thai steak salad. review
2408 W. Anderson + 512/451-7333
BC Tavern
Owners Stewart Scruggs and Mark Paul (also of Wink) created this upscale eatery as a replacement for the venerable Zoot. Happily, their comfort food menu has not abandoned resourceful gastronomy. Four versions of mac and cheese, burgers, steak frites, and pot roast are standouts, but the the crispy-skinned roasted chicken breast takes the starring role. The prices on this menu are lower, guests can now dress casually, and the food is still dependably delicious. Well-made drinks and a skillful wine list with many by-the-glass options makes this local hangout a worthy destination. review
11715 Bee Caves Rd., Bee Cave + 512/477-6535
Beets Living Foods Cafe
Austin's premier raw food spot, Beets serves gluten-free all year long. review
1611 W. Fifth #165 + 512/477-2338
Bess Bistro on Pecan
European, Cajun, and Southern dishes are prepared with organic, local, and homegrown ingredients. A great selection of beers and spirits as well as a well-thought-out wine list complete the experience. review
500 W. Sixth + 512/477-2377
Black Sheep Lodge
Has everything from sliders to carnitas, and TVs abound. So do the beer choices, with 20 on tap and more than 50 by the bottle. Try the portobello cheesesteak if you have room after the cheese curds and fried pickles. review
2108 S. Lamar + 512/707-2744
Blue Baker
The breads and pastries are the stars of the show here. The Nutella chip roll is the child of a cinnamon-roll and chocolate. The sandwiches are impressive, too. Check the calendar for rotating daily specials. review
10000 Research + 512/346-2583
Bombay Bistro
4200 South Lamar + 512/462-7227

13000 N. I-35, Bldg. 12 #216 + 512/491-5055
Botticelli's
It may be described as Chicago-style Italian, but this popular spot offers some sophisticated fare as well. One special, the clams with sweet vermouth and roasted peppers over pappardelle pasta, had our critic swooning. review
1321 S. Congress + 512/916-1315
