épicerie

The location is great, it’s a nice-looking space, and they offer convenient (though limited) on-site parking. Plus, the food tastes good! However, the interior is incredibly loud because there's nothing to absorb the sound, making it a really uncomfortable dining experience. For that reason, I probably won't return—or if I do, I'll definitely try the outdoor patio instead.

What? Just the most incredible meal I have ever ever eaten in Texas. The food was incredible, the wine list is amazing and the food will destroy any other bistro on earth for you! If you eat no where else in Austin. This is the place you should come. Mussels Monday is the best day!!

We were visiting for a girls weekend, celebrating our 40th birthdays. Our Airbnb was nearby and we were fortunate to frequent Epicerie several times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everything was so delicious! Highlights include their freshly baked biscuits. They are even available, frozen, if you want to take them home and bake fresh. Being southerners we know biscuits and these were delicious and warrant our stamp of approval. The cappuccinos were beautifully made with foam milk designs. Their French soup had a gooey gooey cheese topping to die for. Currently, I am living out of the country, and it is hard to find a good American burger. Their cheeseburger was also delicious. We didn’t have room to try all the pastries. We really wanted to try the fresh beignets Their pastry chef is award-winning. Highly recommend if you are in the area and even if you are not in the area. Enjoy!

I truly enjoyed the beef tartare and the café ole cocktail, however my partner ordered steak frites which took a very long time and it arrived cold. When I said something about it, it took an even longer time for it to arrive. Only for it to be microwaved... or at least taste that way. Service was excellent. However, I am extremely disappointed that I had to pay $55 for my food to arrive cold and microwaved. Which is why I am giving only three stars.

Food: We ordered the trout tartare, French onion soup, fried shrimp po boy, and burger and frites for roughly $100. -The trout was placed on delightful cracker with a generous serving of trout roe. It was rich with bursts of salt from the roe. I would just have added a bit of acid to round out the dish. -The French onion soup had excellent flavor and the bread and cheese were perfectly baked on top of the soup. Exactly what you imagine when you think of a perfect French onion. -The fried shrimp po boy has excellent. The breading was delicious, and the sauce took it over the top. -the burger and frites was the only thing that I felt was truly lacking. It was just a bit too simple for me for 20. Maybe I’m being a bit too harsh though as I had previously had the best burger in my life while in Chicago at Au Cheval. Vibes: This restaurant has such a charm from its interior down to its quaint location. We dined outside, but the inside was very cozy as well. Service: FoH is very generous and polite. Enjoyed my interactions with everyone.
