Pop-up restaurants: One more way to enjoy the flourishing Austin culinary scene
Like food trailers, pop-up restaurants have become a popular way for chefs and aspiring restauranteurs to test the waters and showcase their talents, for community groups to fundraise, and for foodies to sample the latest and greatest foods on the Austin culinary scene. Originally started as supper clubs back in the 1960s, they often occur in unexpected places, for a limited time, offering a prix fixe or limited menu.
People go to a pop-up restaurant to experience a unique, creative eating experience, so it’s no wonder that this type of dining has been embraced right here in Austin. But many pop-ups advertise by word of mouth or by invite only, so how can you stay in the know?
One way is to follow the list at Austin Eater. It’s updated regularly, but as the name “pop-up” implies, the events advertised are here today and gone tomorrow—so be sure to check it regularly!
