One of Austin's prime weekend getaways lies two hours west of the city. Though Texans visit Fredericksburg for its local Hill Country wineries—and maybe a hike to the top of Enchanted Rock—the tranquil town’s dining scene can't be overlooked. For more than a cheese board with your wine tasting, Main Street is your central harbor. Among shops, museums, and other (sometimes cheesy) tourist attractions are some of Fredericksburg’s best restaurants and bars, including a flashy boutique-turned-bistro, a chill Italian ice shop, and a few places that tap into the city’s German heritage.

Whether you’re traveling with little ones, bar-hopping during a bachelorette party, or having a romantic weekend excursion, here are the best spots around town.
