With spring and summer vacations on the horizon, it’s probably a good idea to make some plans ahead of time to ensure your kids have great vacation – right here in Austin!
Here’s a new list of local suggestions from our neighbors at LeMontreaux apartments of favorite places kids like to eat in Austin.
Torchy’s Tacos There’s a taco for every taste and a menu to please the entire family at this favorite stop for tacos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And every month, Torch Taco’s owner Michael Rypka creates his “Torchy’s Taco of the Month” for what has to be some of the most unusual blends of beef, chicken, veggies and more. Ever heard of Chicken and Waffles? How about putting all of those traditional southern goods on top of a taco! You have to eat to believe it!
The Frisco With a history that dates back to the 1950’s, The Frisco is living proof that if one mixes great food with great service that one can survive any ebb and tide of the economy, and any competition. Sixty years later, The Frisco is a testament to its mission and top ratings year after year. Just one step into this classic Diner environment and you’ll know you have found a great spot to take your kids out on the town this spring, and year-round.,
Gourdough’s Public House Be it Grandma’s Dumplin’s, the Country Clucker, Three Little Guidos, or Bacon Me Crazy, there is no doubt that a trip to this foodie’s favorite hot spot in Austin is a ‘must-do’ with your kids, and for kids of all ages. The food is fabulous, the prices fair, and ambiance worth the trip. Did we mention they are famous for their doughnuts? Save room for a home-made delight topped with some vanilla ice cream for dessert!
Polvos Famous for their salsa bar, award-winning Mexican food, and overall great value, Polvos is one of Austin’s favorites for their authentic faire for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Serving their own blend of Cosa Rican coffee, stop in any time of the day for a pick-me-up or to pick up a pound of their exclusive blend.
Napa Flats This is one of our favorites that fulfills the entire family’s needs for dining out delights. While the folks enjoy a hearty steak and lovely glass of wine, the kids can have their own good time tossing their pizza dough in preparation for their favorite feast.
Phil’s Ice House. Their website says it all: “Burgers, beer, ice cream and a playscape. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel for busy parents looking for an easy, relaxing, family meal.”
And that’s our short list. For a long list of other great places to dine with your kids, click to this very informative website at Austin.Earter.com.

Earlier this month we provide you with a list of great things to do with kids this summer. Now it’s time to get out of your apartment in Austin for your own fun time on the town. To get you in the mood, we’ve selected a few of our favorite things to do with your favorite friend or hot date!
PARAMONT THEATRE SUMMER CLASSIC FILM SERIES
713 Congress Avenue
512-472-5470
AustinTheatre.org
Last year we joined in the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Summer Classic Film Series in Austin, TX. This year we’re delighted to hear that the series will continue with a long line-up of some the greatest movies ever to hit the big screen or classic festivals all over the world. There are 100 films on the schedule that include digital restorations and rich 35 mm prints, with some of our favorites – including Casablanca. The cost is only $12 per person unless you become a ‘film fan’ than it’s only $7.
ZILKER PARK WEDNESDAY NIGHT OUT
2100 Springs Road
512-908-4904
Facebook.com/kgsrblues
No question this is the favorite of all for those who celebrate Hump Day during the summer in Austin. Come join the fun at Zilker Park every other Wednesday through August for live music, fab food, and a fun time every time. You can bring your four-legged friend on a leash and don’t forget your low-level chairs, picnic, and blanket as well. (Please no glass or alcohol.) Parking is limited yet it’s worth the time to get organized and out of your apartment in Austin every other Wednesday. See you there!
INNER SPACE CAVERNS
26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Road
210-651-6101
NaturalBridgeCaverns.com
If you haven’t crawled in and around the 10,000-year-old underground caverns in Georgetown, this one is a must do this summer. The Inner Space Caverns offers tours that take you to territory that you will never forget. From Adventure, to Hidden Passages, to their Wild Cave tours, you will have every opportunity to learn to love the land down under.
If this kind of adventure is right up your alley, we’ll also suggest a trip to San Antonio’s Natural Bridge Caverns. With state-of-the-art lighting defining some of most unusual and alluring stalactites, you will be sure to see things you won’t see every day.
VIOLET CROWN TRAIL
VioletCrownTrail.com
5524 Bee Caves Road, Suite G4
512.328.2481
We’ve been waiting to share this news for a while and now here’s our opportunity. If you have been following the news about the planned 30-mile extension of the Barton Creek Greenbelt, you have heard about the first six miles that are ready for all of Austin and visitors from all over the world to enjoy. Although it’s a short drive from our driveway at LeMontreaux apartments here in Austin, you’ll feel miles away from town amidst deep canyons and mature cedar forests. A few things to remember before you head out: there are no restrooms (yet) or water fountains so come prepared accordingly and don’t forget your camera!
BE A BARNSTORMER!
4321 Emma Browning Avenue
512-981-6016
Established in 2015, Austin Biplane was created to bring the thrill and excitement of aviation to the city of Austin. Experience life as a barnstormer in the world's only current-production open-cockpit biplane. Two passengers ride side-by-side in the front seat while the pilot flies from the rear cockpit. There are several packages from which to choose. Be it “The Wright Flyer” that gives you an aerial tour of Austin, “The Barn Stormer” that flies you high above Austin, Lake Travis, and Lake Austin, or “The Red Baron” … an acrobatic ride you will never forget … all will be an adventure of a lifetime.
