Launderette

"Weekend brunch at this Holly restaurant includes buttermilk pancakes, biscuit sandwiches with sunny-side eggs, latkes, pork shoulder hash with Brussels sprouts and eggs, and Turkish eggs. Brunch hours are from 11 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Housed inside (you guessed it) a converted laundromat, Launderette is one of the most attractive restaurants on the East Side. It’s located a few blocks away from the busyness that is East Sixth, meaning it’s a great spot for a quiet dinner or a romantic date night, but it’s also bright and airy enough to be one of our favorite brunch spots in Austin. Whether you’re ordering off their brunch, lunch, or dinner menu, you’ll probably want to finish your meal with the birthday cake ice cream sandwich—just don’t ask them to sing any songs when they bring it out.  " - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion

"Housed inside (you guessed it) a converted laundromat from the 1960s, Launderette is one of the most attractive restaurants on the East Side. A few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of East Sixth, it’s a place to enjoy fancy small plates in a very pretty atmosphere, where you’ll feel perfectly welcome in a nice polo or in your favorite sundress. It’s unstuffy and unpretentious, with a bright and airy dining room that feels just as well-suited for casual weeknight dates as it does for Sunday brunch. Just don’t come here with a sack of dirty clothes—those days are long gone. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"When: Mon-Fri 5-6pm The Deal: Half off beers, cocktails, and wines by the glass; $5 off appetizers and burgers Housed inside (you guessed it) a converted laundromat, Launderette is probably the most attractive restaurant on the East Side. Fortunately, they aren't just trying to get by on looks—the food here is actually good. During Happy Hour, you can get $5 off appetizers and one of the best burgers in the city. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Launderette’s burger is refreshingly simple—petite, with american cheese and thin pickles on a challah bun, this is one of the few burgers we can finish while still feeling like we just ate a light meal. One of the only items on both their brunch and dinner menus, you can get the burger at just about any hour that Launderette is open. Afterwards, grab a birthday cake ice cream sandwich to round out the whole experience. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
