Healthy-focused Flower Child and Italian spot North Italia are expanding to downtown Austin later this year. Both chains fall under Fox Restaurant Concepts, run by restaurateur Sam Fox.
The Drake-approved North Italia will dish out pizza, pasta, and other Italian dishes for lunch and dinner. Flower Child focuses on what it considers healthier eating, which means vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other sorts of fare. Think grain bowls, hummus, wraps, etc. And, yep, it features a “yoga mat parking area” and Kombucha taps.
The two restaurants will be found in the building formerly known as the Greenwater Treatment Plant, which is currently being redeveloped. The West 2nd Street address is also going to be the future home of additional Google office space.
These are Flower Child’s and North Italia’s second Austin locations. Also under the Fox Restaurant group is Culinary Dropout, which has a Domain Northside location, as well as downtown neighbor True Food Kitchen.
Downtown Italian restaurants already include Numero 28, Sophia's, Red Ash, and numerous others.
