One of the most curious parts about life in Austin is our capability to be outdoors roughly the entire year round. Austin's restaurants reflect this outdoorsy aesthetic, with many of them providing curious and fun al fresco dining. Here are some of the best patios to be found nearby Austin.
Old Alligator Grill - This casual South Austin staple has a large, wooden patio. Specializing in oysters, shrimp, and other Cajun delicacies, the Oag even has live music periodically. The patio, although adjacent to the parking lot of a mall, features astronomical trees for shade, and the citizen watching is premium. A great beer selection and an imaginable happy hour make this South Lamar spot an oasis for all. (3003 South Lamar, Austin, Tx 78704)
Eastside Cafe - This East Austin treasure has long held to a local, natural, and partially vegetarian menu, and their patio has the unique difference of being adjacent to the garden from which they harvest much of their daily ingredients. Walking straight through the converted house gives diners the impression of being at a very extra party, and the charm and serenity of the patio enhances their supreme food and wine greatly. (2113 Manor Road / Austin, Tx 78722)
Four Seasons - A splurge for some, the Four Seasons' menu is superb, and although it is pricey, the charm of their patio, overlooking Lady Bird Johnson Lake (formerly Town Lake) makes this a extra destination with a uniquely Austin feel. Enjoy the patio for dinner, or for their supreme buffet brunch, featuring eggs Benedict; carving, griddle and omelette stations; fresh seafood and salads, and more. (98 San Jacinto Boulevard / Austin, Tx 78701-4039)
Fino - Couch-style seats are available on the patio/terrace of this centrally settled gem, with plenty of beautiful old oak trees providing shade and scenery. Fino is open for lunch and dinner, and specialized in small, creative plates. With an perfect wine list, this patio is perfect for a relaxing meal above the fray. (2905 San Gabriel street / Austin, Tx 78705)
Texican - Although technically in Cedar Park, the north location of this Tex-New-Mex stalwart allows diners to sample their justifiably supreme cabrito, enchiladas and margaritas on one of the area's nicest decks. The large, covered patio is tiled, and has ceiling fans every few feet - a nice touch while the summer. (11066 Pecan Park Blvd. / Cedar Park, Tx 78613)
The Oasis - Known as the "Sunset Capitol of Texas," this Lake Travis custom offers some of the most spectacular views of the lake and its surrounding hills. At one point the Oasis featured thirty-two cut off decks, all facing west, and although a lightning fire caused serious damage, they reopened within three days and continue to rebuild and refurbish. The charm of the views from the patios makes this a popular selection for wedding receptions and other romantic occasions, but all are welcome to enjoy their diverse menu and specialty cocktails while watching the sunset over the lake.
