Named one of Austin's best farm-to-table restaurants, Emmer & Rye holds both a Michelin Green Star (for sustainability) and Bib Gourmand. The menu changes constantly and is driven by small Texas farms, ranchers, and foragers. Heirloom grains are milled fresh for house made pastas, breads, and desserts, whole animal butchery is done on site, and an extensive in house fermentation program captures flavors at their peak and preserves them for the off season. We accept reservations 60 days in advance. For parties over 6, please email us at info@emmerandrye.com. Private dining and full buyouts available for groups.
