“Austin is a well-known foodie destination, but if you’re in the mood for good food in a smaller location, try Fredericksburg, a little town with just over 11,000 inhabitants about two hours west of Austin. As the name suggests, the town has strong German roots, and this is true of the food, as well. This makes Otto’s German Bistro a key stop for anyone passing through town, especially for the famous duck schnitzel and plenty of wursts or sausages.

For something a bit more Texan, there’s the Cabernet Grill, which serves Texas wines entirely sourced from nearby vineyards and certified Angus beef steaks. If that’s too fancy, go back to basics with Leroy’s Tex Mex BBQ, where you can get a range of typical Tex-Mex dishes packed with flavor, like nachos with meat or beans and roasted tomatillo avocado salsa, or the chopped brisket sandwich. If you come at the right time of year, you may be able to head over to the adjacent orchard to pick blackberries, peaches, or pumpkins.”
