It’s a great place for some coffee and a pastry. It’s fine for lunch, but there are sooooo many other options in the area that I have not been able to try lunch there – yet.

Mandola’s Italian Market

- Cost – $ ~ $+

One of my most favorite places in Austin for coffee and snacks. They have very good Pizza and other traditional Italian dishes, but I rarely am there for lunch or dinner – so, I rarely get a chance to try them. But most of their pastries are just soooooo goooood. And yes, I think I actually have tried most of them.

Gumbo’s (Westlake)
- Location – West
- Cuisine – Cajun / Lousian
We went to Gumbo’s of Westlake for New Years Eve dinner – unfortunately, but not surprisingly, they were all booked for the evening :o( They did however have a few tables in the bar and were serving the full menu there.
We started with a bowl of Crawfish Etouffee. Then for dinner my wife chose the stuffed Rainbow Trout and I had the Chilean Bass. The girls shared some pasta and fried shrimp from the kids menu.
Both dishes were very good and surprisingly, we both liked our own dishes better.
Finally we had some bread pudding w/vanilla ice cream (most awesome).
