Passport To International Food

Austin’s international restaurants add a little spice to life.

As long as people have been on this earth, eating has been a necessity. Although nourishment started out as scraps of meat and gathered plants, it quickly evolved into particular dishes that reflected the environment of those who were cooking and the cultures that were built around the table. From economically stretching meat rations through the week to religious fasts that dictate what, how, and when to eat, what constitutes food is as varied as the world is wide. In East Austin, the cuisines of all 195 countries may not be represented, but there is still an ample menu to choose from for those who are looking to expand their horizons through their palate.
