The Toughest Reservations In Austin Right Now (And How To Get Them) 2024 - Austin - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Fabrik is a plant-based fine-dining experience on East MLK that uses ingredients like miso butter, caramelized yeast, and tamari caramel to impart rich and savory elements in their dishes. The dining room is nothing to write home about—it’s at the bottom of an apartment complex, where it shares a wall with a neighboring torta shop—but a meal here involves one of the best tasting menus in Austin, vegan or otherwise. There are no walk-ins and no bar to post up at for a last-minute dinner, so you’ll need to plan a meal at Fabrik ahead of time. Reservations for the 6pm seating tend to book up nearly three weeks in advance, but if you’re OK with the 8:30 slot, you can usually snag a table about a week out." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
