Best Lunch Restaurants in Midtown

Josephine’s is my go to brunch spot. When I need a personal pick me up, brunch with friends or brunch with my finance, Josephine’s is always my top pick. Their food is always top tier and they have the most beautiful people on their team. 10/10 recommended.

First time in Austin and first meal in and it was an amazing meal to start to our trip. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Accommodating outside even with not the best weather.

We went on Valentines night, which I’m sure is a challenge for any restaurant, but everything was perfect. Seated us on time, food and service were great. You do have to valet park here (was only $10 before tip) if you don’t try to find your own parking, but even that on such a busy night was really good. This is one of our go to restaurants and often bring our out-of-town family and friends here. 

Amazing from start to finish. Super personable and helpful waitstaff who helped us figure out the menu and must-have items. Vibe was lively but also intimate. Every dish was the best version of that I’ve ever had. Tuna Tiridito was crunchy and creamy. Fish tacos light and fresh. Zarandeado was a knockout - smoky. Guava cheesecake was rich, but with a good textural balance with the candied pepitas. Can’t wait to come back

Excellent food and atmosphere. It was lively, if not a little loud. We had four items, including the ceviche, brisket tacos, flautas, and sweet potatoes. I would recommend all. They were all super flavorful. The balance of potatoes and duck in the flautas was a little off (too much potato) which made it a little bland, but the mole sauce hit the mark and helped round out the flavor. We would definitely return and try other items.
