“Picnik stands out as a fun and vibrant restaurant, with a diverse array of options for gluten-free dining.… and with more than one location”
During our stay in Austin, we had the pleasure of discovering Picnik, a dedicated gluten-free restaurant nestled in the charming neighborhood of South Austin. With its cozy ambiance and the added convenience of validated parking, this particular Picnik location (they have more than one) quickly became a favorite dining spot for us.
There were a ton of options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. While you can certainly come for dinner, the portion sizes seemed to lean more toward being most satisfying earlier in the day.
On our numerous visits to Picnik, one dish that stole my heart was the Cobb salad featuring their delectable fried chicken. The combination of flavors was a true delight, although I did find the salad to be a touch sweeter than my personal preference.
Another standout item we couldn't resist was their "Loaded" Smashed Potatoes. These irresistible spuds, generously topped with cashew queso and cilantro crema, left us reaching for a spoon to savor every last bit of creamy goodness.
While we didn't have the opportunity to sample their fried chicken tacos during our visits, we did have the pleasure of enjoying their fried fish taco.
It was a fantastic treat, and we couldn't help but imagine the heavenly combination that their fried chicken would bring to a taco.
We also tried the chicken katsu sandwich during a visit which had an umami mayo that gave plenty of flavor to the sandwich
When it came to brunch, Picnik continued to impress with their Fried Chicken Breakfast entree. The perfect harmony between crispy chicken and delectably sweet pancakes was a match made in brunch heaven.
Picnik truly stands out as a fun and vibrant restaurant, with a diverse array of options for gluten-free dining. Whether you're seeking a satisfying lunch, a flavorful dinner, or a memorable brunch experience, Picnik delivers with its extensive menu and innovative culinary offerings.
Moreover, the cozy atmosphere and convenient parking validation only enhance the overall dining experience, making it an ideal spot to gather with friends for a leisurely brunch or a delightful meal.
