Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Central Austin

Long-time favorite. Latest visit was to celebrate an anniversary -- which we noted in the reservation and the restaurant made it very special, from adorning the table with some decorative touches, a Happy Anniversary placard, and even a special dessert to make the occasion even sweeter. Service is always on-point, food is delicious, and the ambiance is charming. In a city where new restaurants and dining spots are coming and with the latest fads, this place is a tried-&-true institution that sticks to its roots! And for that, I always enjoy my meal and my visit and will continue to return. This place is as special as the reason to celebrate!

We had a Valentine’s Day dinner over there, and it was a great experience. Food was awesome. Special thanx to our server Monica for the great vibe.

The service was wonderful once the tea time started—we had a little confusion upon arriving (no one to direct or greet us, had to track someone down to ask where the tea service was held). The food and beverage options were lovely—an impressive array of sweet and savory bites. This is one of the most affordable afternoon tea services in town, and even being at the Four Seasons, very relaxed and approachable!

I love this restaurant. I come here almost every year for my birthday and it’s just so worth the price. This location specifically has great atmosphere and decor. The service and food are far better than Estancia. The drinks were phenomenal as well. Also great prices on bottles of wine from South America. It’s one of the only places that feels worth the money you pay. I never tried the carajillo here before until last night but now I regret not trying it sooner. I need to come back to try the upgraded seafood options. I cannot wait. Thank you for a great night, as always!

Our visit to Saffron on Saturday night was very satisfying! The service is excellent and the food is really special. We love the scallops for an appetizer. They sauce they use with them is amazing. We both got fish dishes off the Indian selections and they were excellent. We have gone often in the past and are happy to start putting this wonderful, quiet gem back on our regular schedule.
