If you’re in Fredericksburg, TX, do yourself a favor and make a stop at The Traveler’s Collection. This place is a total vibe — from the eclectic seating and cozy corners to the stunning bar area, the whole atmosphere is warm, inviting, and just downright cool.
Their old-fashioned inspired menu is a treat on its own, but the signature cocktails truly shine. I tried The Second Voyage, made with gin, a strawberry-infused aperitif, Italian Amaro, citrus, and egg white — and wow. It was perfectly balanced, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. They also offer an impressive wine selection that would please any enthusiast.
We opted for tapas, and every dish was an absolute explosion of flavor. The duck confit spring rolls, chicken empanadas, truffle burrata, and seafood aranitas were beautifully plated and made to order with incredibly fresh ingredients. Each bite felt like a new, exciting flavor journey — you can really taste the care that goes into everything they serve.
The Traveler’s Collection isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and friendly service, it’s easily one of the best spots in Fredericksburg. Can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu!
We tried a number of items from the menu, but my favorites were the duck spring rolls, pernil lovers, seafood arañitas, the crispy chicken wings entree, and the mofongo. I didn’t even get pictures of everything, because I was so excited to eat it. I almost forgot about the complimentary plantain soup served as a palate cleanser…very flavorful and comforting.
This restaurant is a refreshing departure from the expected German and Mexican fare that is normally found. If you’re feeling adventurous or looking for something different, I highly recommend you try The Traveler Collections. Needless to say, I can’t wait to come back with more friends to try the rest of the menu.
But I did not have such a great experience. Upon entering my group was taken a back by how hot it was (no AC at all was running in the building it was 85° outside) we asked for the A/C to be turned on in the room we were seated in which the waiter did for us. The two pictures I have shown are yes aesthetically pleasing, but they are also the only two good things my group had off the menu. The Churrasco and the Wild Mushroom parpadelle that my group ordered were far from what we expected. Super salty, almost too salty to even eat. The mushroom parpadelle had a very distinct weird flavor that I did not like. And the Churrasco, as I said before was very salty almost like soy sauce. The prices/flavors here on the menu need to be re evaluated. Our waiter was nice, but we would have much rather had a meal somewhere else.
To drink we ordered the passion fruit lemonade, hibiscus lemonade, pineapple lemonade, regular lemonade and an old fashioned. All the drinks were great.
To eat we ordered the Seafood Arañitas which came packed with seafood and it was really good. The Churrasco with mamposteado rice was delicious. The Pernil Lover was delicious as well. Its a bed of crispy rice with pork on top and they add a cilantro sauce so good! The Borica Flatbread was really good but I think the bread could be a bit thinner. The creamy mushroom risotto was delicious too. I definitely recommend this place and give it a 10/10.
Our bartender/waiter was Harper, and he did a fantastic job that evening, even though the place got really busy. The craft cocktail selection is extensive and very imaginative, many fun and exciting concoctions. We decided to start with The Navigator and a Banana Old Fashioned, both of which were delicious. The Navigator is a gin cocktail, with citrus and honey, a dash of grapefruit bitters and egg whites. Quite a tasty treat! The Banana Old Fashioned is a rum mixture, with some allspice, banana liqueur and walnut bitters. Delicious! We were also served a small amuse bouche of plantain soup that was a great first taste of things to come.
After discussing the food menu with Harper, our food choices began with the duck spring rolls and the truffled burrata. The duck was perfectly prepared, and the spring rolls fried hot, not greasy at all. A side sweet and sour sauce on the side. The burrata ball was served well chilled, truffle pearls on top, drizzled with a nice balsamic reduction and served with thin garlic toast. Both dishes rate: amazing!
Round two of cocktails included a Floating Petals, a vodka drink with very herbaceous notes, and the Volcano Ashes, a tequila/coconut/orange blend with black lava sea salt sprinkled on top. Both drinks were so good!
We split the crispy chicken entree, a fried chicken breast atop risotto, covered with prosciutto and smoked gouda cheese. Delicious, but a bit salty for our taste. Almost every ingredient had a salt component, and the cumulative effect was the saltiness. For dessert we chose the Tierrita, a parfait glass filled with chocolate mousse and cookie crumbles… sweet and tasty, topped with a huge strawberry! A glass of local Texas Sangiovese accompanied the dessert and was a good pairing!
So many other good things on the menu, we’d definitely go back to try more, cocktails and food! Recommend The Traveler Collections!
UPDATE: the manager reviewed our issue and absolutely made it right. Thank you!
