Now we have brilliant food served in a gorgeous setting overlooking the lake. Even better, they have a great little wine list with the cheapest prices we've ever seen. Cafe Blue E. When we're asked for adjectives to describe Austin's food service and culinary community, words like talented and creative naturally spring to mind.

Oops, we mean Best Gnocchi In our quest for the perfect gnocchi, these take the prize, hands down. Allergic to potatoes? We always find choosing difficult and leave with a little of everything from the display case of various tender pastas, tortellinis, and raviolis. Only one thing trumps finding gorgeous just-picked organic veggies at a farmer's market, and that's having a bushel basket of them delivered to your doorstep once a week.
Discover that the tender-skinned, dead-ripe tomato that looks and tastes like a tomato was not a figment of your childhood imagination. If you're interested in getting on the waiting list for next spring-into-summer's seasonal delights, e-mail the folks at the farm for information. Tecolote Farms Decker Lake Rd. Tired of that same old lunch from those corporate sandwich places? The coffee and soda offerings are extensive, and the decor is as original as the chow.
Tchotchkes, pieces of art, and photographs cover the walls and shelves, and the outdoor patio is surrounded with sculptures by local artists.
Nothing like a delicious hometown sandwich served in a thought-provoking atmosphere to add calm to the workday lunch break. Owners Randy and Cathy Osban make some of the best barbecue around. But Cathy's pies are a work of art. Buttery, flaky crusts adorned with heavenly fillings.
We can't imagine life without her chocolate pie: creamy, decadently rich, and with a perfect combination of sweetness and the just-bitter sharpness of the cocoa. We offer our thanks to Cathy for getting up at 3am to make them. Back in the back left corner of Wheatsville, just to the left of the deli, are tubs and tubs of organic nut butters. Cashew, almond, peanut, they all look so tempting you want to dip the oversized metal spoon in and cover yourself, denying the little plastic receptacle you hold in your hand the pleasure of feeling that gooey goodness.

Perhaps your sweet tooth is acting up, so you trot over to the bakery and ask for a cashew butter cookie or maybe an organic peanut butter cookie with rolled oats laced in peanut butter. In the end, it doesn't matter in which form you take your nuts, because they all reach the same place, your heart.

Between the lattes and the sushi that are regularly knocked back, sometimes we forget we're in Texas, by God.
Starting at 6am cowboys get to work early on the grasses of Auditorium Shores, the bounteous breakfast is served up among covered wagons, steer, horses, and cowboys galore. Real Texas-friendly like. Love stir-fry but hate the tons of peas and carrots that always seem to come with them?
Have a companion who loves those peas and carrots and would be happy to scarf them up for you? Well, Mongolian BBQ has come to the rescue many a time for those of us who typically order an extra plate to house the offending veggies. This classic choose-your-own-meal locale is even better now with the recent additions of coconut and lemongrass sauce options.
And because you not only select all of your ingredients but watch them cook as well, this one's perfect for mixed company — vegetarian and meat-eater. The folks at Tamale House shut down at 3pm, so best to get there early in the day and expect a wait. The service is a little gruff, but then, if you were pounding out the finest, messiest, most divine migas and breakfast tacos in town sans air conditioning , you might be a little terse too.
