Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
MICHELIN Green Star
Some of Austin's most popular bars and restaurants are here on Rainey Street, and Emmer & Rye is no exception. This place is always packed and humming with a crowd, both outside on the breezy patio and indoors in the contemporary, inviting dining room.
The new American menu is well-designed and tightly focused. From the in-house fermentation program and freshly ground heirloom grains figuring prominently on the menu to strong ties with many of Texas's small farms, there's a commitment to sustainability here. Yellowfin tuna crudo tucked with strawberries and cucumber is a refreshing opener before tucking into a plate of house-made cacio e pepe. Velvety and satisfying, it's been on the menu since the very beginning.

"The majority of the products used for the menu come from local farms within the state of Texas as well as our partner farm that is no-till and organically fertilized. Our other efforts toward gastronomic sustainability include exclusive use of whole animals and fish; wide use of vegetable scraps; and a bar program that features cocktails containing house-made vinegars, preserved local bar cherries, and bitters made from Texas ingredients."
