LENOIR is one of the best wine bar restaurants in Austin for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Austin.
Lenoir operates on a premise that's rarer than it sounds: a whitewashed South First bungalow running a rotating menu built from Central Texas produce, filtered through the kind of heat and spice combinations — Goan vindaloos, scotch bonnet broths, tajín, curry leaf — that most farm-to-table restaurants would never attempt.
