San Antonio is one of the oldest cities in the country. Colonized in the early 1700s, this beautiful city has preserved many of its historic structures. Visit the King William Historic District for history and great food.
After touring the old houses in this historic area, be sure to work up an appetite and stop by one of the best restaurants in San Antonio – The Guenther House. This restaurant is in an elegant house built in the 19th century and is well known to locals and some tourists for its delicious food.
Boudro’s, a Texas bistro on the River Walk, is one of the best restaurants in San Antonio. With a unique menu offering a variety of Southwestern specialties. You can sit outside and enjoy a fabulous view of the river winding through San Antonio, with the tour boats winding through the winding waters and the happy tourists waiting for the diners. Get ready to eat the best blackened ribs or smoked shrimp enchiladas you’ve ever had.
If you’re in the mood for Italian, you simply must try Il Sogno Osteria. The food is made from scratch, there is no frozen food here. The service is impeccable and the food divine. The server starts with ice water with your choice of cucumber, grapefruit, or oranges (or other seasonal fruit). You will then be offered foccacia bread with a white bean paste made with red pepper flakes, adding a nice touch. Try the cod with tomatoes, olives and cippolini onions. It is a dish that you will dream of. Finish off the evening with the famous tart Nutella dessert or melt-in-the-mouth cannolis covered in chocolate and filled with a wonderful fresh ricotta.
Another of the best restaurants in San Antonio is Restaurant Gwendolyn. The products are grown locally and prepared by hand, without food processors or other electronic devices. You have a choice of a three or five course meal. Starting with homemade bread and butter sets the mood for what to expect: good food. The amuse bouche is made with homemade ricotta, deep-fried, and topped with lavender and honey. The salads are delicious and the homemade dressing is so good you’ll want to take it home with you. The staff pay attention to detail and you will feel like the only one in the restaurant.
Biga On the Banks is another of the best in San Antonio. For starters, try the smoked salmon nachos with apple or ahi tuna. They are unforgettable. The decor is exceptional with tables strategically placed to take advantage of the beautiful views of the river. The menu changes often as items are planned according to fresh ingredients. The Foie Gras served on banana bread is out of this world. As one of the best restaurants in San Antonio, please dress appropriately and reservations are suggested.
