Luxury takes root in the heart of Austin at Nido, bringing the charm of the area together with the culinary techniques of coastal Europe, all perched above Lady Bird Lake and the energetic cityscape.

Nido is located on the rooftop of The Loren at Lady Bird Lake - recently named by Conde Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure Magazine as "one of the hottest hotel openings in the world." Nido nods to the surrounding and native Hill Country, giving diners a one-of-a-kind respite to experience worldly-travel through food. Nido’s selection of carefully crafted, seasonal menus are internationally-inspired with a focus on classical technique.

Reservations are available for inside the dining room and the dining tables in the bar. Lounge seating is available on a walk in basis in the bar and on the terrace for drinks and snacks.

Our favorite find! Thank you Rachel for great service. We got a few of the same menu items and just as last time, everything was great! The front hosts were super sweet and got us seated right away. Such a cute spot! Highly recommend if you’re visiting or just having a staycation and want a view of Austin!

The food was served cold. Although the restaurant was not crowded at all but the service was extremely slow. All in all the fois gras was awful. The salad and the duck was okish. However my expectations was lot more. The desert was not good at all u can find better choices at whole foods.

Moving from New York to Austin 2 years ago, Nido is five stars in comparison to any of our long time favorites in Manhattan. Fantastic food, atmosphere, and great people. Trenton is BY FAR one of our favorite servers in Austin. Can’t recommend enough.

Nidi has a beuatiful view but the food is pricey and the menu is short. Food was good but I wouldn't return for the food, it's a great date night spot though.
