The Peacock is the ground-floor restaurant and lobby bar at Austin Proper Hotel in downtown Austin. The menu draws on Mediterranean traditions, built around colorful, loosely plated dishes meant for sharing, all prepared without seed oils.
The space centers on a sprawling lobby bar with both indoor and outdoor lounge seating, plus a patio and private dining room overlooking Shoal Creek. Regulars point to the appetizers and lamb dishes in particular, alongside a cocktail program that gets its own following.
The overall feel leans toward special-occasion dining — attentive service and a Mediterranean-inflected aesthetic set the tone for date nights and celebrations as much as everyday hotel dining.
