Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in South Austin

Nido was great for sunset drinks. They gave us a glass of sparking wine for our anniversary and wished us well. Very sweet. Great views. Great snacks. Awesome drinks.

I took my husband here for this birthday. Food, staff, and atmosphere were great! We were impressed by how flawless the staff works together. All of the courses were excellent and we appreciated the staff recommendations. Great wine selection. They gave a nice birthday card and small dessert to my husband!

If you’re looking for a dining experience that perfectly blends French elegance with bold Texas flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit! From start to finish, every bite was an adventure. We started with the whipped chèvre spread—possibly the best goat cheese I’ve ever had. It was perfectly balanced between tangy and savory, with a delightful crunch. We even saved the last bits to pair with our entrees! The Bacon Jam Gougères were the ultimate French/Texas fusion—flaky, savory, and absolutely indulgent. For entrees, the duck confit was cooked to perfection, and the sea bass had an unexpected twist that elevated it to the next level. Both were amazing and highly recommend. Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, we ended with the pecan pie-inspired éclair. Imagine all the richness of pecan pie reimagined in a light, airy pastry—it was pure genius and the perfect sweet finish to an extraordinary meal. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service flawless, and the menu’s creativity unmatched. Whether you’re celebrating or just treating yourself, this place delivers an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back and explore more of this incredible menu. Props to the chef of this fantastic addition to the Austin restaurant scene.

Wink is always absolutely delicious. The ambiance is perfect and service is outstanding. Love going there!
