Elementary
5-Course Local Meets Global Tasting Event
Just opened this past July, this sought-after eatery on South Lamar vaulted right onto Resy’s List of “18 Best New Restaurants in the US” and Tribeza calls it “Austin’s hottest new restaurant, which everyone has been talking about.” Head Chef Colter Peck, an alum of such top Portland restaurants as Le Pigeon, Canard, and Proud Mary, is an Austin native who has built up strong relationships with local farmers to source the freshest ingredients. At Elementary, he is serving up inventive dishes like banh mi éclair, ramen risotto, half chicken with chorizo, saffron honey, and shaved fennel, and seared scallops with ahi amarillo mayo, dashi apple, and almond. It’s all served up in a sleek but whimsical environment that feels like an elementary school cafeteria (if such a place was reimagined with the most sophisticated design sensibility.) “An enthusiastic crowd has made this school-themed restaurant very popular,” says Texas Monthly, so grab your trapper keeper and let’s go!
