San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio, Texas
Dining on the River Walk.

The San Antonio River Walk is a verdant oasis of cypress-lined paved paths, arched stone bridges and lush landscapes. It gently winds through the city center, providing millions of visitors each year with scenic pathways and waterways leading to the city’s cultural and historic sites. The River Walk serves as a picturesque link between restaurants, hotels and shops.

Colorful and iconic umbrellas shade riverside tables as diners savor a splendid array of diverse River Walk cuisine. Classic Tex-Mex, tender barbecue, traditional Italian and contemporary Southwestern fare are just a few of the many choices you’ll find in the cafes, restaurants and bistros.
