Matti Bills, a highly recognized Austin-area restaurateur, is set to open her newest dining spot on Main Street in downtown Buda.

The Buda Economic Development Corporation recently announced the upcoming opening of Astra Restaurant & Bar. The restaurant will bring a diverse menu built with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

On the menu

The restaurant will offer a variety of menu items, including artisan sandwiches, sourdough pizza, handmade pastas, seasonal vegetable dishes, burgers, craft cocktails and house-made soft-serve waffle cones.

Astra Restaurant & Bar will feature an on-site garden and source ingredients from other urban farms, according to the Buda EDC. It will include a wood-fired oven, espresso and matcha service, and a shaded outdoor space.


Key players

Bills is the co-founder of Mum Foods, an Austin restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide's “The Best Barbecue in Austin” list, and Howdy Child in San Antonio.

She is also the founder of Three Six General in San Marcos—the bodega and butcher shop that will produce the cured meats for Astra Restaurant & Bar.

Lauren Beckman, cocktail director at Mixtli in San Antonio, will lead the restaurant’s cocktail program.
