Fodor's Expert Review Josephine House

$$$ West Austin and Zilker Park American

The adorable little sister of Jeffrey’s occupies a beautifully restored, light-filled bungalow next door to the Clarksville fine-dining institution, offering a slightly more approachable, but still sophisticated, option for cocktails and modern American cuisine. Locals love to sit at the patio or front-lawn tables during the daily happy hour, and reservations are recommended for the popular Monday Steak Frites Night (4–10 pm), when a three-course meal (featuring a choice of steak, from rib eye to tartare) costs less than $50. Brunch is served daily (9 am to 3 pm) and features freshly baked pastries and seasonal dishes like sweet potato pancakes and coddled eggs served in miniature cast-iron pots.
