Austin Monthly has been revealing its best new restaurants of 2017 slowly over on social media. The list of nine restaurants and a trailer includes already-lauded places like the universally beloved Kemuri Tatsu-ya (Eater roving critic Bill Addison is a fan), barbecue trailer from Freedmen’s founding pitmaster Evan LeRoy, and two different takes on diner fare from the Speers, and others. The unranked list is as follows:

The publication’s critic, Joléne M. Bouchon, put together the list, with help from former associate editor Kimya Kavehkar. Only restaurants that have opened within the past year were considered. This means that downtown Italian made it just under the wire, since it opened a year ago.

All of Austin Monthly’s restaurants picks will serve food at the city magazine's party on Thursday, November 2, alongside several of 2016’s picks: Bullfight, L'Oca d'Oro, and Dee Dee.

Statesman critic Matthew Odam’s ranked dining guide is expected to drop sometime tomorrow.
