Restaurants in San Antonio
Welcome to the birthplace of Tex-Mex cuisine. This city on the
cusp of Mexican and Texan cultures has created a wonderful fusion
of spicy Latino influences, hearty Lone Star beef and Germanic
influences. There are plenty of other cuisines available across
hundreds of different restaurants, but it would be a shame to miss
out on the world's finest Tex Mex during your visit to San
Antonio.
Explore the central market and look out for the time honoured
chilli ladies. And for breakfast, don't miss the amazing breakfast
tacos made with fresh tortillas with an egg, cheese, fried potato
and chorizo filling.

Silo Elevated Cuisine
Start off slow at the super-modern first-floor bar before heading upstairs to the restaurant for some of their celebrated chicken-fried oysters or blue-crab spring rolls. If you're on a budget but your appetite isn't, get here before 6.30pm for the 3-course dinner at only $30.

Fig Tree
Fine dining in a beautiful 19th century house with gorgeous views of the river. The dishes are European fusion, with plenty of fresh fish and modern reinterpretations of classic dishes such as beef Wellington. The desserts are sensational and the wine list quite possibly the best in town.
