Austin City Guide

Austin Dining

Austin, like much of Texas, is proud of its home-cooking heritage. 'Southern-style' is very much the order of the day with a large number of nostalgic restaurants on offer to. However, Austin's cosmopolitan atmosphere and make-up is also very much reflected in its restaurants and the city offers some wonderful examples of international cuisine. Texas‚s close proximity to Mexico means that the state offers the very best in 'authentic' Mexican dishes.

Austin Tipping Advice

Restaurants in Austin don't usually add gratuities to the bill, so tipping is recommended: 15 percent where customers deem the service to be good and 20 percent if the meal and service have been excellent. Tips in taxis should be paid along similar lines. The recommended rate for doormen, parking attendants and valets in Austin is one US dollar.
