One of Austin's most innovative restaurants, Emmer & Rye mills its own heritage grains and ferments, pickles, and preserves in-house to create a hyper-seasonal, deeply considered menu. The dim sum-style cart service for small bites is a fun and social way to start, and the pasta and wood-fired dishes are consistently outstanding. It's a serious restaurant that rewards adventurous diners; reservations are a must.
