Dai Due 2406 Manor Road, Austin, TX 78722

"What a wonderful place with a unique menu focused entirely on local Texas goods, from the meat to the wine. I am in constant pursuit of the ‘best cheeseburger’ and had heard great things about theirs as well as the rest of the menu. The burger was fantastic and my first foray into antelope which was paired with wagyu. We also had quail stuffed with blueberries and rhubarb, quite a combination of flavors but all went charmingly well together. I love all “pocket” foods and they had a crawfish variation that was just the right amount of bread to sauce to meat ratio. The brussel sprouts were excellent. The fries were okay, I probably wouldn’t get them again - they didnt have the crispiness I look for in my fried potatoes. I reconfirmed I do not like Texas wine much but they have sparkling water and a selection of beer for those who also feel that way. There are three choices of seating options: indoor table, indoor counter, and outside. The kitchen is an open concept which is fun. You can see things being fire roasted. The staff was friendly and well equipped to answer menu questions and all worked together nicely when bringing foods to the table. They checked in without being too much. I an glad this is in my neighborhood! The menu is constantly changing — I will be back."

"Truly an amazing place to eat if you’re a meat lover. Everything about Dai Due is unique - the first half of the restaurant is a store where rubs, meats, pickled veggies, frozen goods, and swag items are sold; the second half is the actual restaurant and the theming is rustic but charming, sort of like walking into a colonial outpost. The menu items are VERY unique and adventurous and almost all are based around protein (antelope, boar, sheep, etc). I got a breakfast platter and the sausage made from pork and antelope was my favorite, and my friend got the award winning wagyu cheeseburger and she loved it. The menu is different for brunch and dinner and some day soon I hope to come back to try out their dinner menu!"

"After sorting though a lot of brunch recommendations around Austin, chose this place to go while friends were in town for a representation of Austin food. We were NOT disappointed and didn’t have one bad bite during the brunch! The breakfast pastries were a big hit, normally something we wouldn’t order, but they were conveniently placed in sight of our travel…you gotta do what you gotta do. My friend said that the cherry donut was probably the best she has ever had and the pumpkin kolache was just perfect as well. We shared 4 entries (see pics)and would honestly order it all again. Can’t wait to be back!"
