La Barbecue hosted royal guests earlier this year. Now they can add an international pop star to their list of famous patrons.

Dua Lipa was at the women-owned restaurant for dinner on Friday afternoon. The restaurant posted on Instagram about the pop star’s visit. (Thanks to Eater Austin’s Nadia Chaudhury for the tip.)

Dua Lipa, whose crew informed La Barbecue of the artist’s visit for two days, stopped by La Barbecue with a group of eight people. La Barbecue owner Ali Clem told the Statesman the artist was “super nice.”

Dua Lipa is in Austin for a headlining performance at the Austin City Limits Music Fest. She will perform on the American Express stage the first and second weekends on Saturday at 8:20 p.m. One of the biggest pop stars in the world, Dua Lipa is an artist with countless hits that you shouldn’t miss.

Ali Clem, owner of La Barbecue, was also visited by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in March when the royals were in town for the South by Southwest festival and conference.

The two got their takeout meal after a 30-minute visit that included photos with the staff and an introduction from 12-year La Barbecue veteran Francisco Saucedo, who returned to the restaurant after his morning shift to meet the couple.
