Why We Like It

This hot spot from Guy + Larry restaurant group focuses on French fare with a moody, upscale dining room — a special-occasion kind of spot meant for drinking an ice cold Vesper or trying a French bottle of wine from a region you’ve never even heard of. The menu is substantial with its offerings like comte popovers, short ribs, and Dover sole. Save room for the tableside soufflé for one last big meal moment.

About Restaurant François

Restaurant François features a French-American menu that combines classical French technique with a modern culinary sensibility. The result is a fresh, yet reverent addition to Austin’s fine dining scene. Highlights of the menu include pristine seafood, delicate crudos, and composed dishes such as Stuffed Lamb Saddle en Croute, Maine Lobster Thermidor, Lyonnaise Salad, and Boneless Wagyu Short Ribs Bourguignon. Alongside dry-aged prime steaks, served carte French style, with sauces prepared and poured tableside in a nod to timeless tradition. Diners can expect porterhouses meant for sharing, classic French sauces poured tableside, and puff pastry desserts crafted entirely in-house.
