Justine’s Brasserie

Justine’s Brasserie in Austin offers a French brasserie and bar experience defined by a deliberately distinctive and artistic identity. Founded and operated by a close-knit group of friends and co-workers, the venue embraces a non-corporate spirit, reflecting owner Justine’s vision as an artist who created the original film imagery associated with the brand. The restaurant’s voice and aesthetic are sensual, provocative, nostalgic, playful, rebellious, and referential, creating a unique atmosphere that invites a diverse crowd including artists and musicians. The interior features limited indoor seating arranged in a private, music-infused salon-style gallery, while the outdoor area resembles an Edenic garden with cabana-like dining spaces, canopies, and misting fans. This intimate yet expansive setting fosters a vibrant, loud, and late-night social environment. Justine’s functions equally as a bar and dining destination, offering French brasserie fare with specialties like French onion soup, complemented by daily specials, cocktails, and a rotating selection of wines by the glass. The overall experience evokes a romantic, theatrical, and bohemian spirit, celebrating joie de vivre and freedom.
