Places to eat in Westlake Hills
Although Westlake Hills is an upscale neighborhood of Austin, many of its best eateries are low-key and casual. This doesn’t make their meals any less delish, though. Here are some local faves:
4. Jack Allen’s Kitchen 360
Jack Allen’s Kitchen 360 is all about locally sourced fresh food that puts a smile on people’s faces. One of the best people-watching spots in the neighborhood, this eatery serves up smoked barbacoa quesadillas, Tejana enchiladas, chicken-fried New York strip steak, and other downhome classics along with hand-selected single-barrel whiskeys, craft cocktails, and wines.
5. The Grove
If you’re in Westlake Hills and you're looking for some late-night eats or drinks, The Grove is the place to be. Though only serving until 10 p.m. (this is considered late night in the neighborhood), The Grove will be happy to serve you up a glass of wine along with some bruschetta, crab cakes, or shrimp and sausage fettuccine if you are a late diner. This is also a good spot for brunch, which is served on the weekends and includes favorites like avocado toast and farm vegetable hash.
6. Las Palomas
Considered one of the hidden gems of Austin, Las Palomas is well-known for its delectable interior Mexican cuisine. Not only does it serve amazing dishes like mole enchiladas, steak chimichurri, and ceviche tostadas, but it also offers top-of-the-line margaritas and live music several times during the week.
