Sway

Thai food? In Austin? Don’t forget this is a capital city and home to a major university too. This sexier-than-it-needs-to-be Thai restaurant comes from the same team behind La Condessa. Expect homemade curries and funky, spicy, fish sauce-laced salads. After a weekend of smoked brisket and short ribs, it’s a welcome respite.
