Pecan Square Café - Austin, Texas

The best restaurant in Austin!! It is a little pricier for some, but the cost is well worth it. I am always happy with the starters, pizzas, salads, entrees, and cocktails. It is a go to date night or for any out of towners you’re trying to show what the city has to offer. Chelsea and the rest of the kitchen staff work wonders. We come time after time and it’s a stellar night every night we have dinner here.

Delicious food that is cooked with care and attention to detail!

We got the olives and lentil soup to start (they generously split the portions). For our mains, we had the broccolini pizza and the crispy, roasted 1/2 chicken. And the grapefruit + campari sorbet for dessert. We loved it all!

And the ambiance is great here, too. Lots of windows and the restaurant gets really nice light. The light wood is a great touch, too.

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. From the food to the ambiance this restaurant is perfect. Food was very well constructed and thought out. Beautiful flavors and presentation with every plate. The menu is constantly changing so take advantage of what you see. We'll definitely return.

Charming little restaurant located on West Six Street. You can see the skyline while waiting for your table. Everyone we encountered was very nice and pleasant. The drinks were great and the food was amazing. We tried quite a bit of plates that I couldn’t finish the Sweet Corn Pizza I ordered but oh how I so wanted to. Parking is limited so prepare to park far or valet.

I decided to give this place a second try, but unfortunately, my experience was similar to the first. It’s a lovely spot with nice décor and a great location near some excellent restaurants, but the food hasn't impressed me. While I don’t mind paying a premium, I don’t feel the value adds up. The zucchini fritters were extremely oily—I could barely eat a couple of bites. The crab salad was okay, but nothing special, and the burger was decent, though not my favorite. Overall, each dish felt a bit too heavy for my taste. The service was alright, and I do appreciated the waitress comping the fritters.

5 Stars - A Must-Visit in Austin!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pecan Square Cafe during a trip to Austin, and it was truly a memorable experience. I tried the Semolina Fried Rabbit and the Sausage Kale Pizza--both dishes were absolutely delicious and full of flavor.

It was my first visit, and I was lucky enough to be taken care of by Beck, who went above and beyond. He gave fantastic menu recommendations and also helped me get a feel for the city with great tips on things to do around Austin.

The vibe at Pecan Square Cafe is just as impressive as the food. The patio is warm and welcoming, and the dining room offers a view of their gorgeous open kitchen, adding a nice touch to the overall experience.

I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend checking this place out!

I was very impressed with Pecan Square Café. This was a surprise date night and the food and experience exceeded expectations. The place is lovely and has a clean, simple and elegant design to it. The food was incredible. Our favorite dishes were the Hand Cut Maltagliati pasta and the Chilled Snow Crab Salad. Both were so tasty, we said we would go back just to eat those again. We ordered the fish as the main entrée and it was really good. The marinated olives were good too, but I’ll probably skip those next time and get something else. They have a nice selection of drinks with wine, beer, and cocktails. The layout of the restaurant is really nice and they have indoor and outdoor seating. It just has a clean, fresh and inviting feeling to it. The service was pretty good too, although not all servers gave the same great experience. Our waitress was good, but the guy bringing out the food was excellent. He showed up with a smile and enthusiasm and went over the dish. The only question I have is the place gave off a slight air of pretentiousness, and I wonder how inclusive they would be to all customers. Hopefully they would give everyone the same amazing experience. Nothing I noticed, but I did have a feeling and question about this. Overall, five star! We will go back here again and I highly recommend it.

As a European who just moved to US, I was struggle to find restaurant which will be cozy and tasty and the same time. This place is absolutely my favorite in Austin. Very beautiful interior, delicious food, amazing service!
