Lake Travis Area Food and Drink

Perhaps Lake Travis folks stay active because there is so much yummy food to try! From typical fare (Tex-Mex) to the more unique (food trailer scene), there usually is something new or "coming soon" to try in this growing community. A healthy mindset means there are always various good-for-you options: organic, farm to table, and locally-grown, to name a few.

New grocery store options continue to offer the good stuff and local breweries are making their mark in everything from new establishments to tours and tap rooms. Specialty coffee shops and any number of local bakeries means your palette doesn't have to travel far for variety.

Check out our write-ups of Lake Travis area restaurants, breweries, and features of local dining and favorite happy hour spots. Between good eats and kid-friendly environments, as well as a good deal here and there, you're not likely to be short on inspiration.

Pieous: Pizza with a Side of Pastrami

Written by Todd Hower | February 11, 2015

On a recent return from a weekend in San Antonio, I decided to avoid I-35 and take the back way along 281 north, through Blanco and the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country — beautiful country. The trip eventually landed us on Highway 290 just east of Dripping Springs. And that put us just a few miles from the reason for the side trip on our way back to the Lake Travis area — a stop at Pieous.

Pieous has been showing up on my radar since they opened back in early 2013. Friends that live in Dripping Springs are excited to have one of the best pizza places in Austin right down the road. Austinites have been raving about Pieous since they opened. It’s not a place that I consider within the boundaries of the Lake Travis area, but more of a destination that is worth the trip when you have an opportunity to be on the southwest side of Austin. And after eating here, I do believe that I’ll be finding more reasons to visit this side of town.

Two Saints Baking Co. & Cafe: Homey Goodness in Bee Cave

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 19, 2015

Some days are perfect for warming up with a hot cup of soup or a fresh cup of coffee. These days I have been in the mood more and more for these simple cold weather foods, like tomato basil soup, a nice chai latte or a straight-from-the-oven cookie, so I head over to Two Saints Baking Co. & Cafe in Bee Cave to quell the cravings.

If you’re ever in the area by Highway 71 and 620, take a turn into the Shops at the Galleria, where you can find Two Saints nestled at the west edge of the shopping center. The fresh food offerings, including breakfast, lunch, coffee drinks and treats, are all made in-house and from scratch.
