C Juniper

Italian • Lower East

Northern Italian in spirit, Nicholas Yanes’ eclectic menu is informed by the ingredients and cuisine of Central Texas.

2400 E. Cesar Chavez #304, 512/220-9421

This East Austin answer to a Parisian brasserie (literally “brewery,” but practically speaking, a restaurant) embraces early 20th-century roots (the cottage itself was built in 1937) and creates a picturesque vintage experience. Fit with a cozy bar, wooden tables, and Great Depression-era decor, the disco balls on the patio bring the ambience back to our current millennium. Paired with its late-night dining of standout French bistro fare (steak frites, escargots à la bourguignonne) are readings (Richard Hell), spoken word (Jello Biafra), and the occasional midnight show (Louis Armstrong singer Jewel Brown) for the lucky few that join the party at the eleventh hour.

4710 E. Fifth, 512/385-2900

F Killa Wasi

South American • Lower East

Killa Wasi is one of the most joyfully unpretentious restaurants in Austin. Duck inside of a teal school bus to find their delicious Peruvian-inspired fare, where everything inside – from the yellow bottles of bubblegum-sweet Inca Kola to the cheery chalkboard – pops brightly with color.

828 Airport, 512/730-0253

J la Barbecue

Barbecue • Lower East • $10-$25 • First Plates

This former food trailer is now a full-fledged brick-and-mortar, but they’re still consistently delivering some of the best smoked meats in the city. The sides are real good, too.

K La Catedral del Marisco

Interior Mexican, Seafood • Lower East • $10-$25

The "cathedral of seafood" is a jaw-dropper. The menu is half seafood and half grilled, meat-centric Norteño. Try the tostada de pulpo, a pile of tender, griddled octopus with scallions and pepper.
