Austin, Texas is known for its diverse and ever-shifting neighborhoods and the local businesses that keep the community together. One of the most important contributions to the community are the neighborhood restaurants which offer locals a chance to slow down and enjoy exquisite meals amidst the hectic pace of life. The Tastemaker Award for Neighborhood Restaurant of the Year celebrates these establishments and the service they provide. The 2023 nominees range from an upscale East Austin eatery to a cozy North Central Austin haunt reflecting Texas’ manifold foodways. Visitors can rely on all of them to provide gracious hospitality and a delicious meal. The winner will be announced at the highly anticipated Tastemaker Awards on May 18 at Fair Market.
