Easter Brunch 2015: Lake Travis and Beyond

Written by Todd Hower | March 31, 2015

Do you remember as a kid waking up early on Easter Sunday and searching all over the house for your Easter basket filled with chocolate rabbits, jelly beans and those weird marshmallow bunnies coated with pink sugar?

April 5th is Easter Sunday!

It’s a popular time to eat Cadbury Creme Eggs and Peeps Bunnies at 6:00am, put on your Sunday best, go to church and go out for Easter Brunch.

And for that reason, we put together our annual list of places to go for Easter Brunch. Most are here in the Lake Travis area, but a few are a bit further away — included because they’re well worth the drive.

From eggs and bacon and mimosas on a patio overlooking Lake Travis to the all-you-can-eat-buffet with brisket and live gospel music. Wherever you decide, make your reservation early, as this is one of the more popular days for families and visitors to enjoy Sunday brunch.

Apis Restaurant & Apiary is Buzzing in Spicewood

Written by Cathy Hale | March 30, 2015

We’re always looking for cool concepts and interesting businesses in the Texas Hill Country and there’s one in particular that’s creating a buzz — and we mean that literally! Apis Restaurant and Apiary in Spicewood.

The husband and wife team of Chef Taylor Hall and Casie Hall had a unique vision for this rustic, yet refined restaurant that included a functional honey house.

They wanted to not only serve globally-inspired seasonal dishes, but also use locally-sourced ingredients like honey from their own hives. Hence the name of the restaurant Apis, which comes from the taxonomy of the western honeybee, Apis mellifera.

Written by Cathy Hale | March 23, 2015

Looking for a cafe experience on the lake? Well, look no further than Sundancer Grill, the 2014 People’s Choice award winner from Taste of Lake Travis. Located in the spot formerly known as Shades Cafe that closed in 2013, Sundancer Grill serves up bistro dining in a relaxed atmosphere with a beautiful view of Lake Travis.

Sundancer Grill is right next to the Sail & Ski Yacht Club at 16410 Stewart Road off of RR 620. It’s a hop, skip and a jump from Lakeway with no winding roads required. Sundancer has indoor seating, outdoor seating and a little playscape out front for little patrons. The retractable glass walls provide great views of Lake Travis and functionality despite the weather, so Sundancer Grill is able to stay open year-round.
