Fareground is sort of an urban modern spin on the tired concept of a food court. Several Austin staple restaurants have space there, offering a nicely balanced variety of different cuisines and casual fare situated around an expansive central bar. With a cheese and meat shop, taco spot, burger joint, bakery, and more, there is definitely something for everyone.

For our first evening in Austin, this was an ideal dinner option. I didn’t want to commit to a reservation and particularly didn’t want anything fancy in case we were too tired from a day of travel to fully enjoy it. There was plenty of delicious food to choose from (choosing was the hardest part!) and it was a beautiful space inside and out. Scroll down for the full gallery and more details. I loved Fareground and will definitely visit again next time I’m in Austin!
