Picnik — Burnet Road

Picnik Burnet Road restaurant harvest hash picnik cobb food
Photo by Sarah Doliver

Touted as Austin's first Paleo restaurant, Picnik stays true to the mantra while still appealing to people with all kinds of diets. The original food truck became a fast favorite for breakfast tacos, bone broth, ready-made lunches, pastries, and decadent butter coffee. In addition to these staples, the Burnet Road brick-and-mortar offers more breakfast, lunch, and dinner options — all of which are gluten-, peanut-, corn-, and soy-free
