Alyx HeartcoreMarch 10, 2013There's only a few meals that are worth crying over and the one I had at The Carillon was worth every tear. Try the scallops, the crispy pork belly, braised short ribs and dark chocolate terrine.
Roger RayOctober 2, 2016The food & service both excellent. Not huge servings, all extremely good & unique. We had fried quail, lamb chops, cheese & charcuterie combo starter (superb). Our fav was fried peach tart dessert.
Serious EatsMarch 5, 2013Chef Josh Watkins has transformed The Carillon into one of the top restaurants in town. No small feat considering its location, and the crispy pork belly is a can't-miss dish.- Austin PawsApril 20, 2014Check out the updated and flexible menu - small and large plates. Our group loved the mero, the rack of lamb, and the pork belly. All were beautifully presented and delicious. (Apr 2014)
ArtJonakMarch 11, 2013Great for special occasions with friends as you explore the exceptional flavor combinations of the tasting menu together. Chef Josh Watkins is an artist...turning Texas ingredients into haute cuisine.
Austin ChronicleJune 17, 2013This cavernous campus-area space is a little fancy-pants for the average student, but quite reasonable for high-class delicious fare of this caliber and innovation. Read more
The best gourmet burgers in Austin. Try their burgers with any of these toppings and you will think you went to heaven: foie gras, or pork belly with the truffle oil aioli spread.
IrinaSeptember 5, 2014Good for special occasions requiring intimate, but open setting. The service is top-notch (you get a small cadre of wait staff assigned to your table). A bit on the pretentious side, overall.
Of course the pork belly. But the veal cheek is AMAZING. The drinks are great. The staff is incredible. And the chocolate martinis make the best dessert.
Christina SteelMay 25, 2016Loved the romaine salad; smoked duck & charred romaine made a great pair. Complex & balanced! Yellow tomato gazpacho needs to be on the menu!
Excellent food, well used gastronomy. Good options for pairings or a la cart. They validate parking.
The best gluten-free fine dining establishment in Austin, hands down.- Chef Josh Watkins's delightfully impressive gluten-free menu options help make this the best fine dining establishment in town.
