Hopfields

Hopfields sits on Guadalupe Street in the heart of East Austin, offering a refined French dining experience that blends classic techniques with a modern Texas vibe. The restaurant’s interior features reclaimed‑wood tables, exposed brick walls, and soft amber lighting that creates an intimate yet lively atmosphere. Guests can start the day with a weekend brunch that includes eggs benedict topped with smoked salmon, buttery croissants aux amandes, and a hearty quiche lorraine, all paired with freshly brewed coffee or a sparkling French 75 cocktail. Lunch service Monday‑Friday showcases signature dishes such as coq au vin slow‑cooked in red wine, steak frites with hand‑cut fries, and a silky duck confit served with seasonal vegetables. Dinner expands the menu with escargot in garlic‑herb butter, a rich French onion soup crowned with melted Gruyère, and a decadent chocolate soufflé for dessert. The bar offers an eclectic cocktail program, highlighting the Lavender Gin Fizz, Elderflower Spritz, and classic French 75, while the wine list presents curated selections from Bordeaux, Rhône, and emerging New World producers.
