Give yourself and the family a break from the kitchen by heading out to eat at some of Austin’s best and most festive. To give you some ideas, Eater rounded up a list of Austin restaurants open on Christmas Eve (Tuesday, December 24) and Christmas Day (Wednesday, December 25). Find special prix fixe dinners, expansive brunch buffets, unfussy regular menus, and even much-needed coffee. Make reservations soon because most of these restaurants will book up very fast (The Driskill’s famed Christmas feast is already sold out).
Cooking at home and looking for a few delicious shortcuts? Eater has a separate guide, and don’t forget holiday tamales.
For more seasonal indulging, check out various holiday specials, treats, and drinks, all gathered in one handy spot.
