Who hated brussels sprouts growing up? 🙋🏻 Luckily my mom didn’t chase me around the house trying to shove them down my throat because she hated them too. Who knew the world would come to love these tiny cabbages as we do now. Grilled, roasted, caramelized, and of course, fried.

Here are my personal picks for the best brussels sprouts in Austin starting with those crack brussels sprouts with fish caramel at Uchiko…
Table of Contents
UCHIKO
When Paul Qui was just starting his culinary career at Uchiko, he made a name for himself with his famous fried Brussels sprouts that created the craze. Sadly, the brussels sprouts are no longer on the Uchiko happy hour but they’re worth the full price on the dinner menu. Best brussels sprouts in Austin? Uchiko.

FRESA’S SOUTH 1ST
I love Fresa’s crispy brussels sprouts with pasilla aioli! Pro tip: Order the power bol and sub out the chicken for brussels sprouts with Mexican street corn off the cob on the side.

LUCKY ROBOT
My second favorite brussels sprouts in Austin would be at Lucky Robot. My friends and I were literally fighting over the last pieces of brussels sprouts with the lemongrass soy dipping sauce.

EAST SIDE KING
East Side King’s fried brussels sprouts salad is not your ordinary healthy salad. The fried Brussels sprouts are tossed in a sweet-spicy sauce with shredded cabbage, basil, cilantro, mint, onion, and jalapeño. Then topped with a deep fried bun.

PEACHED TORTILLA
Start dinner at Peached Tortilla with the charred Brussels and bacon jam, parmesan, and lemon oil. And then order the Hainan Chicken, Thai chop chop salad, dan dan noodles, and lush pork belly bowl. You’re welcome.
5520 Burnet Rd #100, Austin, TX, thepeachedtortilla.com
CAFE JOSIE
The Brussels sprouts at Cafe Josie are so good that you’ll want them for dessert. Tossed with rum soaked cherries, candied pecans, and dijon rum glaze makes them irresistible. Order them al la carte off the dinner menu or have them unlimited on the all-you-can-eat chef’s tasting menu “experience.”

You guys know I frequent Grizzeldas and the street sprouts is one of the reasons why (along with the margaritas).
105 Tillery St, Austin, TX, grizzeldas.com
PICNIK
Picnik’s tops their fried Brussels sprouts with crisp pork belly, raw parmesan, and house vinaigrette. They also have a vegan option.
