Love it or hate it, the construction of the Domain gave North Austin a complete cultural center. Trendy and high-end shops flocked to the development, and quality dining options soon followed.

To unwind after a long day of shopping, lounge with tapas at Mia. The pasta and pizza at North Italia make for good anytime meals. Perry’s Steakhouse works well for lunch and dinner. Indulge in baked goods at Bakery Lorraine and bubble tea from Taiwanese shop Gong Cha.
