About
Dai Due is a restaurant on Manor Road in Austin, Texas, built around food sourced from Texas. The kitchen works with locally raised meats, wild game and seasonal produce, so the menu tends to shift with what the region is offering at a given time.
What to expect
The cooking is hearty and inventive, with dishes that make the most of Central Texas ingredients. Because the menu follows the seasons, each visit may show a different side of the region's farms and hunting grounds.
- Locally raised meats and wild game as the centre of many plates
- Seasonal vegetables and produce from Texas growers
- A meal that reflects the terroir of Central Texas
Its roots
Dai Due grew out of supper club beginnings, a style of communal, unhurried dining that still shapes the feel of the room. The restaurant also runs its own in-house butcher shop, which underlines its farm-to-table approach: the whole animal, handled on site, from purchase to plate.
Planning a visit
Dai Due suits a visitor who wants to eat well and understand where the food comes from, rather than a quick bite. For current details on the menu, hours and reservations, the restaurant's website, daidue.com, is the place to check before you go.
