The Best Seed-Oil-Free Restaurants in Austin (2025 Guide) 🌱

Introduction

If you’re looking for 100% seed-oil-free restaurants in Austin, I’ve got you. You know when you find out your “olive oil” dressing was cut with canola? Or that so-called clean meal was cooked on the same grill as a seed-oil-soaked patty? Finding truly seed-oil-free spots is too damn hard. So, I made this guide.

No second-guessing, no ingredient interrogations—just straight-up, stress-free recommendations for fully seed-oil-free restaurants, plus vibe checks and some go-to orders. Whether you’re avoiding seed oils for health reasons or just want to eat out without the BS, this list has you covered. Every spot has been personally vetted—so you can finally order anything off the menu, zero worries.

Sunlife Organics - sunlifeorganics.com‍

I didn’t know it was possible to be addicted to a smoothie shop, but here we are—and I fully accept my fate. Sunlife serves up nutrient-dense smoothies that I’m convinced are aging me in reverse, plus fresh juices and actual food (not just overpriced sugary açai bowls). Their Greek yogurt bowl drizzled with olive oil? Unreal. The avo toast? Stacked, not stingy.

I’ve been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (no shame), and with Austin locations in Bee Cave and South Congress, I can confirm: the entire menu is 100% seed-oil-free. No compromises. No worries.

Bonus? They have locations all over the USA and also sell organic cotton clothes, supplements, skincare, and more—because clearly, I needed even more reasons to be obsessed. Thank you, Khalil!

The Well - eatwellatx.com‍

My daily dining spot. Breakfast bite after Barry’s? Lunch + remote work? Dinner? The Well delivers every time. With locations downtown and in Westlake, it’s my go-to for nourishing, stress-free meals that never miss.

My staples? Salmon, steak, and their to-die-for beet salad. The bone broth? Absolute HEAVEN. And let’s be real—a little credo-queso + guacamole never hurt anybody.

‍Pieous - pieous.com

‍The things I would do for Pieous. Their morning café serves REAL butter croissants, flaky French pastries, pastrami + eggs, and expertly crafted coffee (yes, they have decaf).

Lunch & dinner? House-made sourdough pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches—all cooked in olive oil, never seed oils. Locally owned and obsessed with doing food right, Pieous is a dream for anyone who refuses to compromise on quality.

Nourished ATX - nourishedatx.com‍

A food truck on Soco (South Congress) with insane grab-and-go meals. The Gut Healing Bone Broth is divine, and their Sweet Potato Waffle Sandwich (pasture-raised eggs, sausage, kale, avocado crema, pickled onions) is a MUST. Order ahead—she sells out fast!

Dai Due - daidue.com‍

‍At Dai Due, every dish is cooked in grass-fed butter, tallow, or olive oil—and yesss you can taste it! Their focus on local, seasonal, and responsibly sourced ingredients means the menu changes frequently, but one thing stays the same and that’s the fact that everything here is SO dang delicious every time I go! Serving up brunch and dinner, expect intensely flavorful, thoughtfully prepared meals that showcase true culinary artistry.

True Food Kitchen - truefoodkitchen.com

One of the most well-known anti-inflammatory restaurant chains, True Food Kitchen ensures every meal aligns with Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet—no seed oils, just clean, nutrient-packed food. Their rotating seasonal menu keeps things fresh, offering protein- and veggie-packed bowls, sustainably sourced salmon, chicken, and steak dishes, plus sandwiches and pastas - awesome spot for groups and they have two locations - Downtown and The Domain!

Patrizi’s - patrizis.com

‍Craving Italian food without worrying about seed oils? BOOM. Patrizi’s! Nestled into Cuernavaca, I make a beeline for the Cacio e Pepe (I add mushrooms) and Rainbow Salad. Locally owned and operated, this spot offers casual, comforting Italian fare made the right way—ZERO seed oils.

Alchemy Organics - alchemyorganics.com‍

Juuuiiiiceeeee! Oh my goodness, the juice. This place is a dream. Whether you’re looking to juice cleanse, grab a giant sourdough cookie, sip on house-made nut milks (no additives, no gums), or unwind with a nourishing tea, Alchemy has you covered. With locations in Zilker, MLK, and Dripping Springs, it’s a 100% seed-oil-free haven

Nomade Cocina - nomadecocina.com‍

I love the Tulum vibes right on South 1st! With plenty of heated + cooled outdoor seating. Perfect for date nights, friend groups, or beautifully curated events.

The kitchen is committed to being seed-oil and gluten-free and their bold, traditional flavors come through with each dish made with care and love by their incredible team.

Our go-to staples? Hamachi Ceviche, Duck Panucho, Lubina Pohchuc, and Wagyu Bistec. Every bite? Next-level.

Ten Ten - tentenaustin.com‍

The only sushi spot in Austin where I can indulge freely—zero stress, just incredible food. From perfectly steamed edamame to salmon skewers and the freshest fish, Ten Ten never misses.

The giant rock/moss wall, moody lighting, and sleek vibe make it perfect for a solo bite, date night, or business dinner. As for the menu? The fresh Hamachi and Chirashi Maki? Unreal. The Uni and Bluefin O-Toro sashimi? YASS. And if you’re after a high-protein, melt-in-your-mouth experience, the A5 Wagyu Tenderloin is always a good idea.

Devil May Care - devilmaycareatx.com‍

A perfect night-out spot (even if, like me, your “nights out” end at 8:30pm because I’m just a girl.. a sleepy girl). Whether in Kith, elevated athleisure, or a tux, gown, and heels, the vibes are immaculate. Owned by the same team behind Ten Ten, DMC’s Mediterranean menu is 100% seed-oil-free. They also craft incredible mocktails without sugary syrups for those choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle! PS: ORDER THE SPICY PITA YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Casa de Luz - casadeluz.org

‍A macrobiotic oasis where every dish is made from scratch, seed-oil-free, and packed with pure, nourishing ingredients. I’ve been coming here since I was in a stroller, and somehow, the experience still feels just as magical. Serene, plant-filled, and tucked away off Barton Springs, it’s the kind of place that feeds your body and soul.

Soupleaf Hot Pot - soupleafhotpot.com‍

An authentic, family-owned hot pot experience that’s all about quality and sourcing as locally as possible. At Soupleaf, you’re in control—rich, flavorful broths, farm-fresh veggies, and high-quality meats, all 100% seed-oil-free.

I LOVE coming here, and the service is always top-notch. One note—I don’t eat the noodles or sauces because, honestly, my soup NEVER needs them. So while I haven’t checked those for seed oils, I can vouch for everything else! As for dessert? I always go for a bowl of their fresh pineapple or cantaloupe. Simple, clean, perfect.

El Borracho Tacos - vivaelborracho.com‍

A no-BS, flavor-packed taco joint that actually gets it. No oils, no shortcuts—just grass-fed meats, fire-roasted salsas that taste like they’ve been blessed by the taco gods.

Must-order? The Chicken Tinga Quesadilla— cheesy, and stuffed with slow-cooked protein of your choice. And the BarbaChaos? A juicy, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece.

Picnik - picnikrestaurants.com‍

Picnik is where you’re grabbing a butter coffee on the go, or settling in for a decadent-yet-guilt-free brunch and catching up with friends—this spot is cozy, welcoming, and 100% seed-oil-free.

Conclusion

Why Avoid Seed Oils? ​​I’m not a scientist. I don’t have a lab. But after 5+ years of reading research papers, ditching seed oils, and paying attention to how I feel, I’ve formed my own opinions. Take them or leave them—no soapbox, just my experience.

1. Seed and vegetable oils (canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower—you know the drill) are highly processed. Restaurants use them because they’re cheap and shelf-stable. We all know processed junk isn’t great for us, so let’s not overcomplicate it.
2. I battled raging skin issues and weight fluctuations that felt impossible to control. Cutting seed oils was my first step—and the results? Clearer skin, better energy, and a deep dive into a whole world of wellness that completely changed my life.
