As of 1991, Austin has officially been dubbed “The Live Music Capital of the World,” but it’s safe to say that in the last decade, we’ve burgeoned into a foodie city as well. This year, more culinary adventures await. Check out these early 2020 openings.
FoliePop’s
How sweet it is to see a tasty new addition to the Hill Country Galleria, opening this Spring. This French pastry and coffee house will offer customizable, signature recipes handcrafted by Chef Antoine Chassonnery and aims to “bring cravings to life.”

The League Kitchen & Tavern
Opening early this year at the Hill Country Galleria, The League Kitchen & Tavern will offer the same chef-inspired, made-from-scratch menu. Assorted sandwiches like lobster roll sliders, salads, burgers, and “Main Attractions” like a 14 oz. Bone-In Ribeye will be complemented by an extensive bar program.

Sammie’s
McGuire Moorman’s latest, Sammie’s is slated to open this fall, serving classic Italian fare on West Sixth. The name references the location’s first restaurant, a drive-in burger spot opened in 1939 by Sammie Joseph, although better known as the most recent incarnation, Hut’s Hamburgers.
807 West 6th Street
Ways & Means Oyster Bar
The popular Southern California seafood restaurant is opening its first Texas location in the former Annie’s Cafe space in downtown Austin. Oysters, jumbo lump crab huevos rancheros, and king crab legs are all on the menu, plus any dish that use Julen’s Ausome Sauce will benefit autism charities.
