Restaurant Week: Green Pastures

Sep

stored in: Food

Restaurant week is over this go-around but Green Pastures is one of Austin’s most affordable fine dining restaurants everyday. Green Pastures is a historic Victorian home housing a restaurant of the same name in south Austin, as I first wrote about lunch here and the last restaurant week here. Quick history lesson: Green Pastures restaurant opened in 1946 and was notable for serving to customers of all races, 18 years before other establishments in Austin were desegregated by law. The property is gorgeous, complete with peacocks running around the grounds. If I get married in Austin one day, this is the spot! Aesthetics and ambiance aside, the food is outstanding. (Remember its tricky to get pictures in a dark restaurant).
