Since opening in 2015, Emmer & Rye has become one of Austin’s defining restaurants. The contemporary dining room remains lively, and the kitchen showcases seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, ranchers and foragers. The menu changes frequently based on availability, but certain themes remain constant: house-milled heirloom grains, handmade pastas, thoughtful fermentation and an unwavering commitment to Texas products. Dishes such as beef carpaccio with fermented shiitake and beef garum, or tortelloni filled with smoked ricotta, show the kitchen’s ability to combine rustic flavors with refined technique. An extensive beverage program, featuring both Texas producers and classic wine regions, rounds out the experience.

"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."
