: Good places to take out of town visitors for brunch? : Fonda San Miguel is expensive and crowded...
crowded in spite of the price, yes. I wished it was cheaper, too,
but I take my revenge at the dessert table... <grin>
btw, SF doesn't serve "brunch" but a buffet.
for a reasonable brunch, consider Calame's Canyonside Dining out on
620 near Hway 71. I haven't been out there for a while but I seem
to remember that it had changed since I reviewed it here in January
(check Dejanews or ask me for a copy) in that (a) there was an omelette
station -- and I really like freshly prepared omelettes (b) there
weren't as many breads, rolls, cakes, cookies and things. My guess
was that they couldn't afford to keep the baker...
talking of on-demand omelettes, what's the name of that restaurant
out on Lake Austin Blvd across from the boat ramp just upstream
from Miller Dam on Lake Austin? That used to be a favorite of mine
for Sunday brunch several years ago... I seem to remember a brunch
buffet price of $6 or so... <sigh>Austin, TX
Sunday brunch

Don't go there unless you are HUNGRY!! Chez Fred is long gone. Fortunately, there's a somewhat similar experience at Chez Zee, near 2222 and Mopac.
