Justine's

Justine's Brasserie is a delightful French dining destination in Austin that captures the essence of Parisian charm with a unique Texas twist. This beloved establishment offers an enchanting atmosphere that's simultaneously fancy without being bourgeois, cool without being hipster, and ornate without pretension.

The brasserie presents a sultry ambiance that has been carefully curated over 13 years by artists and through travel inspirations. Inside, diners might find themselves seated next to a Warhol while enjoying classic French cuisine in an environment where food is savored rather than photographed.

1. The menu features authentic French staples including soupe a l'oignon, escargots a la bourguignonne, and their popular steak frites
2. Standout dishes include beef tartare, côte de porc, cassoulet with duck confit, and the delicious moules frites
3. A thoughtfully curated wine selection complements the food perfectly

Music forms the soul of Justine's, with bartenders doubling as DJs spinning vinyl records that match the mood of the evening. The outdoor space offers an Edenic setting with private, cabana-like dining areas featuring canopies and misting fans for a truly magical experience.

As the owners beautifully put it, "A brasserie is a place of convergence" - and Justine's exemplifies this by bringing together an eclectic mix of regulars, artists, couples, and even the occasional celebrity for memorable evenings filled with conversation, excellent food, and the perfect soundtrack.
