Austin Rotisserie & Sandwicherie

The Fareground, Austin’s take on a modern food hall, functions mostly as a hub for nearby office workers to grab a quick lunch between Zoom calls. But it does have a few spots worth a detour, like Austin Rotisserie. The French counter-service bistro specializes in chicken slow-cooked on horizontal spits that sit just a few feet behind the register. Poultry is available in quarter-bird increments, or in sandwiches, bowls, and salads. Try the poulet roti—tender, shredded chicken served in a fresh-baked baguette and topped with goat cheese and vinaigrette—and pair it with the creamy carrot soup for a meal that feels more like an Alsatian countryside lunch than a bite before a 1:1 with your boss.
