"Justine’s is the closest thing Austin has to a classic French brasserie you’d expect to find on the streets of Paris. The only difference is it’s set amongst a bunch of warehouses and breweries in East Austin. The food here is solid, but don’t expect to be blown away. What will impress, though, is the romantic bar with vinyl records spinning, the semi-private tented cabanas with chandeliers, and the chill and relaxed winter tent with the oyster bar. Despite being a little farther east than most of the other spots on this guide, Justine’s can get packed, so plan accordingly." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
