FINE DINING IN THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
by Tymon Hytem

By: Allen Shaw

No trip through the Texas Hill Country would be complete without experiencing the region's numerous fine dining locales. As an avid traveler through the state of Texas, I make it a point to stop at a different local restaurant every time I travel through the area.

WHERE IS THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY?

But first, what are the actual boundaries of the famous Lone Star state region known as the Texas Hill Country? Simple: The limestone hills north of San Antonio to Austin's western suburbs; the eastern portion of the Edwards Plateau to the Balcones Fault to the East and the Llano Uplift to the west and north. The Texas Hill Country is also the small portion of Central Texas known as the center of the Texas wine industry.

TOP RESTARAUNTS IN THE REGION

Because of the area’s strong influences in the German, Swiss, Austrian, Alsatian and Czech cultures, the restaurant industry has become the region's top draws. One my personal favorites is a little Italian restaurant called Capparelli's in northern San Antonio, very near some of the most beautiful underground caverns in the United States. Last time I was there, the wait for a table was nearly 20 minutes. Not exactly my favorite part of the meal, but speaks volumes about the popularity of the place.
