Food from Mandola's Italian is always a hit. A combination of a market and a restaurant, Mandola's has some filling dishes. Get a half portion at lunch or split entrees at dinner. A children's menu is also available, as is outdoor seating.

Fareground

Address: 111 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701

Fareground is Austin's first food hall. Visit the six food stalls, choose your dishes and then eat in the outdoor area on Congress Ave. Cheese and crackers, rotisserie chicken, sushi and giant pretzels are among the mouth-watering eats on offer here. Younger diners will appreciate the mix-and-match aspect, while older ones will like the variety.

Le Politique

Address: 110 San Antonio St, Austin, TX 78701

Price: $$$

Le Politique's regular menu might be too fancy for those with more choosy food habits, although the patisserie is enough to delight them, and their dining companions. Croissants, cakes and tarts, with abundance of chocolate, are about $4-5 each, so get a few and then watch the world go by from an outside table.

Kemuri Tatsu-Ya

Address: 2713 E 2nd St, Austin, TX 78702

Price: $$

Kemuri Tatsu-Ya offers small Japanese and Texas-influenced plates, perfect for sharing and large and small appetites. Enjoy them on one of the outdoor patios. Skewers, rice dishes, and desserts are always safe bets. Try something different and dine here. Reservations are recommended. Take younger diners on the earlier side to avoid the hopping bar scene later in the evening.

Bring the whole family to one of these restaurants for a memorable time. Enjoy your meal and this beautiful weather!
