The Peacock

The 13 Best Mediterranean Restaurants & Food Trucks In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"The Peacock is an all-day spot in the Austin Proper Hotel Downtown where you can get fancy versions of classic Mediterranean dishes. We like the crispy shallot hummus and curried cauliflower as starters, but the biggest winners here are the tajines and anything that arrives slightly charred and sizzling off the wood-fired grill—like spiced lamb kefta, red pepper chicken thigh, and harissa beef tenderloin. Show up for a light lunch or dinner, or just to see what the inside of the swanky Austin Proper lobby looks like without shelling out a few hundred dollars on a room. There’s also a nice patio overlooking Shoal Creek for when the weather is nice." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
