This place is awesome!! What a gem on Rainey Street! We were sadly only able to go there once, but we would have gone there for breakfast every day of our visit to Austin! Go see Leo and just be ready to eat excellent food in an awesome setting!
We went for breakfast. I had the brisket taco and it was ridiculous! It's more like an omelet on top of a corn tortilla. The brisket was amazingly good! And they put a homemade jalapeno jam and tomato salsa on top of it. I'm still craving it! My wife had the Tartine with salmon and she loved it also!
The setting with their planter boxes, lights and tables just gives it a different feel than any other place in the area. Do yourself a favor if you are looking for breakfast on Rainey St, and skip IHOP and the other few places that are open, and just go to L'estelle! And also, then go there for lunch and dinner also! They have a very cool menu that has some good variety of items and flavors!
Go there. Order. Eat. Hang. OMG. Pork Belly Banh Mi Taco for $6 and to die for? Are you kidding me? Then the Island Salmon for $7??? Among the best, if not the best, food and prices on Rainey Street. Say hi to proprietor, Iba Thiam while you are there. What a cool place, great food, dialed in prices, and nice people. Wow.
Great vibe for breakfast- reggae playing, bamboo canopy, great coffee—and beautiful croissants! seems like menu changes- but that’s ok w/me. African brisket breakfast— yum! Highly recommend
Amazing, hidden-away spot on Rainey St!
Excellent chill place on Rainey street. So calm and a bit set back that you might miss it! The fries were awesome and the herb aioli was amazing with it. The menu was a bit limited, but as a small bite (late-night or otherwise), it was perfect. It went especially well with beer and wine at the bar in the back of the House: The Drafting Room.
Drafting Room review: Tucked behind L’estelle House and pretty quiet and chill, so you might miss it, but definitely don't! A solid selection of local beers on draft, plus a very impressive selection of wines on draft and in bottles. Some great Italian and Austrian wines, plus some nice ones from Washington state as well. The bartender/owner was super friendly and rad and the vibe is just really chill and friends. We had an great time!
Wow, what a great brunch here this past weekend. They were very busy considering it was the labor day weekend, but they still made sure to communicate clearly with us throughout our time there and were working very hard. Since it was busy they were honest and told us it would take about 45 minutes to get the food, which was very nice to say up front. That didn't bother us at all and we went ahead and found some seats outside and hung out while grabbing a drink over at the bar in the back while we waited. They got us all waters and made sure we were doing alright, and Holly the owner/manager made sure we were taken care of and looked to be working very hard for the success of this great local shop. The food each of us got was delicious and well worth the wait. Would definitely recommend for a brunch or meal when you're down on Rainey street.
Stopped by for dessert and hot chocolate. Wonderful dessert, will definitely be trying dinner next time. They had 2 live bands on Friday and the owner said they'd have more on Saturday. The band we listened to, Nether Hour was very good.
One of the coziest, best places on Rainey St
Amazing flavors and fresh eats. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into their food. The menu is not huge, but it certainly doesn't need to be. The owners are friendly, which only adds to the top notch service. Nice little atmosphere in the outdoor patio. Very chill, and comfortable. Do it!
Y’allllllll L’estelle House is DELICIOUS! Come down here for brunch ASAP because you will be taken on a journey of flavor and freshness. I write this while eating the incredibly savory and fresh Spinach Feta Quiche with pine nuts and side of arugula... the dressing itself had me dancing in my chair. I’m sad as I only have one bite left. Anyway, y’all just need to come down here some time for brunch, or dinner! You will be dancing in your chairs too, I guarantee! The service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is calming. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem on Rainey Street!
This place is hands down one of my favorite spots I've been in this trip to Austin.
The guys at the kitchen and service are great, and helpful. Also, very smooth explaining the menu since its so different
Now, the food... holy...! The veggie bowl is hands down in my top 5 ever. I added their pork to it, which made it even crazier. The combination of veggies, egg and pork was a mouth orgasm. If you havent been here, JUST COME!
One of my top places for tasty french food. Food was so delicious. There was fast and courteous service. The bill was fair I would say. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I loved to visit.
Came for our best friends 30th birthday! Absolutely amazing place. The staff go above and beyond for their customers and their hospitality is true southern hospitality! Well ALWAYS come back and completely tecommrec this place! Best place off Rainey road!
What great blues music and interesting cocktails. Lonnie Ray was awesome.
Beautiful outside space, a peaceful reprieve from the bro and tourist scene Rainey Street has become. Good local beer selection and I love that they have prosecco and rose on tap.
Wow.
On Rainy it can be easy to get lost in the shuffle, but Iba at L'estelle gives you a slice of home amidst all the madness.
We hung at the very back and not only did he serve us our meal, but brought us water and made sure to serve the dessert at the end.
The Cotes du Rhone was a great compliment our Frito Pie, Mac, Kale Salad, and Chocolate Pie.
After Black Heart closed I wasn't sure there was a place for me on Rainy, but I'm happy to say I've found a home.
Enjoy and CHEERS!
Another great Austin place to come have great brews, cocktails and food. They also have live music which was great. Outdoor seating was perfect with the weather and the service was great.
Everyone has a favorite... This is mine! People referred us to other "big burgers" in the area including "Hopdoddy" . Nope, this place rocked hands down. The quality of the bun and meat were amazing. Skip the fries and go for the house specialty fried Brussel sprouts. I would come back in a heart beat. .
