You?ll venture no further than the lobby to find Caf? Julienne, a smart, casual breakfast restaurant filled with natural light and an airy atmosphere. The American-style buffet and ?la carte menu offer traditional breakfast fare, but a hint of Texas drawl can be detected in items such as the Colonel Travis Breakfast Tacos. A must while in Austin, the flour tortillas are stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage or bacon and served with homemade salsa.

The Old West is alive and well in the Roaring Fork, an American bistro and favourite city-centre gathering spot. Green Chili-Pork Enchiladas and Tortilla Soup are hot lunchtime items, and dinner guests love the Wood-Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Campfire Style Salmon and Sugar-and Chile-Cured Duck Breast. In true pioneering spirit, much of the menu?s produce is harvested by local growers.
