Royers Round Top Café
The legendary café on the square — famous pies, grilled quail, and a line that's worth it. A Round Top rite of passage.
Duo Modern at Market Hill
Chef-driven plates, cocktails, and air conditioning.
10 min from the ranch1542 TX-237, Round Top, TX
Inside Market Hill, Duo Modern is the chef-driven option when you want your Round Top meal a little more elevated — thoughtful New American plates, real cocktails, and a cool, handsome room that's a welcome break from a dusty day in the fields. Sunday brunch is a particularly good time to go.
It's proof that the Round Top food scene has grown well beyond café fare, without losing the warmth that makes the place special.
