Bacalar is rooted in conveying head chef Gabe Earles' passion for the Yucatan's food and people to Austin visitors and residents alike. Erales grew up in the Yucatan region of Mexico and it's his intimate relationship with the region and cuisine that have forged a top-shelf menu of delicious bites unlike anything else found in Austin. Diners will enjoy authentic coastal cooking in a stunning space in Downtown Austin right on Lady Bird Lake.
