The 13 Best Fancy Restaurants In Austin For A Special Occasion Dinner - Austin - The Infatuation

"Fabrik is an upscale plant-based experience on East MLK that uses ingredients like miso butter, caramelized yeast, and tamari caramel to integrate rich elements into their dishes. The dining room is not particularly fancy—it’s at the bottom of an apartment complex, and the bathroom is shared with a neighboring sandwich shop outside—but it’s a meal holds its own in any conversations about fine dining, vegan or otherwise (enter: this guide). Just know that if you do dinner here, you’re signing up for a seven-course journey (with an optional beverage pairing) that seamlessly blends Japanese, Nordic, and Italian flavors with local, seasonal ingredients. 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
