Food: January 2009 Archives

Starlite first opened in Hyde Park in 2000, relocating to its current space four years ago. A new bistro-style menu had just been introduced a few months ago, along with an update of the restaurant's interior to reflect its more casual style. For now, the restaurant will remain open with reduced hours. We recommend calling in advance (512-374-9012) if you're planning to drop in one last time before their excellent duck confit is gone forever.

South Austin restaurant Artz Rib House has been serving up BBQ and live music for nearly twenty years, but all that may soon come to an end.

For those with a hankering for a coffee drink, a panini, or some beer this afternoon, you'd be wise to consider a stop at Clementine Coffee Bar's 3rd Anniversary Bash. The popular Manor Road spot has lined up 11 local acts to celebrate their success, and all are welcome to join the festivities. We've always liked the fact that Clementine had Texas draft beers available like Big Bark and Fireman's #4 for those stopping by later in the day, and suspect this will prove especially useful this evening.

P Tam's empanada from the Sunset Valley Farmer's market was too beautiful to pass up.
