Prix fixe menus often come with high prices and bizarrely small portions, making them a tough sell for budget-minded diners. But at Le Calamar, a French-Texan bistro on South First Street that just celebrated its first anniversary, the daily $77 menu includes four hearty courses that feature some of Le Calamar’s most popular items, like their seasonal fish crudos and their wagyu filet mignon with au poivre sauce and beef tallow fries. It’s the rare prix fixe in Austin that’s truly worth every penny.
