Somnio’s Café Austin, TX

Using local, seasonal ingredients, Somnio's Café aims to offer affordable organic food at a good price. At this neighborhood restaurant, the menu changes depending on what is in season and fresh. Expect to see lots of fresh vegetables and high-quality meats. Lunch and dinner offer upscale-casual choices inspired by Mexican dishes and the farmers markets. Tacos with seasonal fillings are always available, as are noodle bowls, sandwiches and pastas.
