Whoever says Dallas doesn’t have great Italian food hasn’t been paying attention – especially to Jennifer and David Uygur’s new Macellaio, a sister restaurant to Lucia in Bishop Arts.
Summer in Texas ain’t easy — especially at restaurants, which often see a dip in the summer months as people head out of town, presumably to flee somewhere a person can comfortably exist in August. The last few weeks have seen a characteristic run of restaurant closures. As we transition…
Fries covered in fatty, savory toppings sound like the perfect thing to have late at night in Deep Ellum. While you can get that at #GetFried, don’t expect it to be fast — or particularly delicious. And yes, the hashtag is part of the name. This chain fry cafe on…
Burgers begin, for chef Jeff Bekavac, with a Big Mac at grandma’s house. It’s his first cheeseburger memory. He was sitting at his grandparent’s table with the iconic, mountainous double cheeseburger with the special sauce and the sesame seed bun. Bekavac remembers ruining his appetite for grandma’s dinner by devouring…
The restaurant group behind Deep Ellum restaurant and rooftop patio bar Stirr — along with Uptown nightclub Citizen — has opened a new Mexican restaurant in Deep Ellum. “Meaning ‘the good life,’ Vidorra offers bold and exciting Mexican flavors, along with a large tequila selection, unique cocktail program, and lively…
After a handful of delays, The Colony finally has eight new restaurants to feast on, and they are all at one location. The new food hall, Urban8, which was originally scheduled to open Aug. 9, held its grand opening on Aug. 23. Dueling piano covers performed by local musicians Matthew…
Believe it or not, there was a time when finding Mexican food in Oak Cliff was difficult. Families who wanted pan dulce, for instance, had to trek across the Trinity River to Little Mexico. That was until a few families decided to bring the food of their homeland to the…
Driving down Oak Lawn, you’ve probably passed Bellini’s Italian Café and Pizza, in an outdated shopping center between Maple Avenue and Cedar Springs Road, dozens of times. The sign is faded and the façade looks a bit worse for wear. It gives off some mobster vibes and, unless you’d heard…
Laurel Tavern has a beautiful patio on the east side of Lowest Greenville. The aesthetics alone make you want to go in, but if you’re looking for brunch that goes beyond “basic,” you might as well keep walking. Brunch is served from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and…
Consider the sweaty effort that goes into one sandwich at this diner. Quinoa bubbles in vegetable broth. It’s hit with tumbles of carrots, onions and parsley. Nearby, cashew paste —when cashews get demolished, they take on a fatty, creamy texture — thickens from scoops of tapioca. The quinoa, the cashew…
Driving through Carrollton, particularly around the intersection of Old Denton and Trinity Mills, it can be difficult to find a sit-down restaurant that doesn’t serve Asian fare. But just down the road, traditional Cuban food is served seven days a week at Cuba Bella Cafe. From the outside, the restaurant…
The grass reached as high as her waist, and rogue chickens bobbed around in the backyard. Meri Dahlke was on the hunt for a good location for a “country tavern” — she’d never owned a bar in her life — and one of her first stops was a tiny, shed-looking…
Gulabo’s Brunch and BBQ is a new, fast-casual Halal and Pakistani restaurant in Carrollton. It is owned by executive chef Muzasfar Kushmiri, who has more than 10 years of experience working in kitchens in Pakistan and all over the globe.

In one of the least likely places for a high-end restaurant, Foxyco surprises with its summery cocktails and defiantly big-flavored menu.
If there’s one thing Dallas isn’t hurting for, it’s doughnut shops. But slide over to Fort Worth and it can be slim pickings. Melvin Roberson has been taking advantage of that for years with his food truck and catering company Dough Boy Donuts. Now he’s turned his sweet success into…
It seems in the Dallas restaurant scene there’s a never-ending pursuit to be the next name in raw fish. If it’s not a poke joint, it’s a sushi bar, and if it’s not a sushi bar, it’s a place like Namo. The yet-to-be-opened West Village fixture wants to nudge conventional…
Is it lazy, simple or efficient to take your regular menu, throw it over eggs and call it brunch? Let’s talk about that. There’s no doubt that Taco Y Vino offers a tranquil setting in its adorable little house in North Oak Cliff. And there’s probably not much more you…
Vegan comfort food has made its way to West Dallas. Da Munchies is a hole-in-the-wall, mostly takeout joint that serves comfort food to herbivores and omnivores alike. But it’s Da Munchies’ vegan menu that has people flocking from all over the city. Owned by sisters Elizabeth Anderson and Angela Alexander,…
You can only find Bingbox in one of two places: their original New York City location and their newest outpost in Dallas’ Trinity Groves. Do we feel that makes us special? Yeah, OK, a little bit. What’s truly special about this Korean shaved ice joint, though, is texture — their…
On a Sunday afternoon, Elm Street is clogged by cars. It’s just after 1 p.m., and the horns blast and the brake lights stutter. Sidewalks are flowing with people. Inside Shoals Sound & Service is an alleviating quiet. The bartender walks to the end of the counter, fiddles with the…
A British chef and his Dallas-native wife have opened an authentic fish and chips restaurant in Richardson: Fish & Fizz.
A lovely Oak Cliff spot with a lovely menu expanded its sights to brunch last weekend, bringing waffles and Bloody Mary cocktails to Jefferson Boulevard. Small Brewpub was busy enough Sunday, in its first weekend of brunch service, that some of the after-church crowd was forced to brave the 100-degree…
