Appetite for Alfresco in Austin?

At Café Dior by Dominique Crenn, the celebrated chef says joie de vivre is on the menu at a voguish new venue.

New Cafe Dior Brings Style & Substance

The buzz was deafening. First my hairstylist mentioned Birdie’s, then a popular local hotelier before my foodie friends insisted it was on their regular rotation. Yet I resisted. Somehow I missed that it was named Restaurant of the Year by Food & Wine in 2023 and recently recognized by Michelin. Bon Appetit, Esquire and The New York Times had bestowed love. Plus its married owners are seasoned, and co-owner and Chef Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel was a 2024 James Beard Foundation Award finalist. Still I knew it would take a supernatural intervention to convince me to wait in a line (outdoors, nonetheless), then order from an ever-changing menu at a counter only to hope I could sit on a plastic chair and dine.
