Russell's Bistro

Conveniently located between 35th and 38th Streets in Jefferson Square, Russell's Bistro offers a very refined, yet comfortable, dining experience.

From the décor to the menu, we take quality components and prepare them with a passion for the senses. As has been the case for over 10 years at Russell's Bakery, our menu at the Bistro uses fresh, nutritious ingredients.

Enjoy a well rounded selection of chicken, seafood, pasta and beef. While lunch mirrors our first location, Russell's Bakery, with counter service in the morning and at lunch; at 6 pm, the lights are dimmed, music is turned up. One of our hosts or hostess will greet you, dinner is offered with full seated, service.

Our dessert menu is comprised of items from our pastry case, as well as a few things specially prepared to compliment our dinner selections.

We offer an upscale, yet relaxing, environment where you can escape while enjoying a cup of coffee, an intimate dinner, or weekend brunch with the family.

The atmosphere is enhanced by a rotating show of local artists, whose original art is available to enjoy and/or purchase and music from local musicians.

Having been born in Austin, it has been a pleasure and a blessing to build a business that has become part of the community and thrived because of local support. To everyone who has passed through the doors of Russell's Bakery, we thank you and welcome you to Russell's Bistro. Enjoy.


After 10 years at the Hancock/Balcones location, we are pleased to invite you to our newest venue, Russell's Bistro. Located in Jefferson Square, the Bistro offers the same morning menu, full coffee bar, fresh baked pastries, and lunch favorites. We have created brunch and dinner menus for our Bistro guests that are sure to please.

So stop by for a cup of coffee and pastry, brunch, lunch or join us for dinner.

Look forward to seeing you!
