Dai Due

Dai Due, on Manor Road in Austin, runs as a working butcher shop and deli by day and a reservation-based supper club by night, with a butcher's rail carrying meat from a walk-in cooler to a front workspace where it is broken down into traditional cuts and charcuterie in view of customers. The retail butcher shop keeps its own hours, Tuesday through Sunday, 10am to 10pm, separate from the supper-club dining room in back — a structural detail that matters for a category specifically about retail butchery rather than restaurant concepts, since it means a customer can walk in, buy cuts from the case, and leave without ever sitting down to eat.

The shop's steak program lets diners choose their own cut directly from the butcher case, and the team also pickles and cans in the retail space, adding items such as local olives and miso alongside the meat counter. Dai Due's stated approach extends whole-animal use into wild game as a matter of course rather than a novelty menu item, consistent with its self-description as a butcher shop built around Texas beef, pork, and poultry.

The supper-club side has drawn outside recognition — USA Today named it to a 2025 restaurants list, and a local publication placed it among Austin's top restaurants in January 2026; that recognition concerns the dining program rather than the retail counter. The retail butcher case and its daytime hours are the basis for this entry.
