Best Brunch In Austin With A View
Brunch with a view in Austin is tricky...yet possible! A lot of the all-time best brunch restaurants in Austin are known for their food (not their views) and most of the restaurants with the prettiest views in Austin are known for their views (not their food). That being said, here's a handful of great spots to get brunch with a view in Austin.

Best Brunch With A View In Austin
1. Quince
Quince has lake-front views and global cuisine, and it's hands down one of the best spots for brunch with a view in Austin.
What's "global cuisine," you ask? It basically means anything goes. From a NOLA omelette to brunch enchiladas to classic steak and eggs or French toast, there's a little bit of everything of Quince. It's not going to make the list of all-time best brunch restaurants in Austin, but if it's a view + good food you're looking for, this is it! {Photo: Quince}

2. Bulevar's Sunday Brunch
The hill country views at this north Austin Mexican restaurant are unreal! If you dine here in the evening you'll get sunset views (which honestly get a little hot/bright during dinner hours), so brunch-goers get to enjoy a cooler, shadier view of the landscape.
Dine on classic huevos ranchero or their duck huarache with smoked beans and farmhouse eggs, as well as a selection of brunch cocktails.

3. Nido
If it's brunch views in Austin you're looking for, it's pretty hard to beat Nido. Sure, it's a little bit overpriced, but the food is actually really good, and the brunch menu is solid.
Since this high-rise is built on the south side of the lake, you get a view of all those downtown high rises on the other side of the lake. It's pretty breathtaking.

4. Perla's
Ok, ok...can we technically call South Congress "a view?" I'm not sure, but I'm going to anyway! SOCO is one of my favorite brunch views in Austin because it's the people watching is constant entertainment, plus I absolutely adore this gorgeous tree-shaded patio.
The seafood brunch at upscale coastal restaurant is epic, with fresh cocktails, a raw bar, and fancy plates like a lobster and egg white frittata, or tres leches French toast.

5. Ski Shores Cafe
You'v got to drive out a bit, but the brunch views at Ski Shores are epic! This place is such a vibe, with boat-in docks, waterfront tables, a sand box for kids to play in, and classic brunch favorites like french toast, migas, and breakfast tacos.
