It’s not every day that a Michelin-recommended restaurant from Austin makes the journey north to collaborate on a dinner with another Michelin-recommended restaurant in Dallas. So, yeah, we’re a bit intrigued.
Tare is a kappo-style “embellished” nigiri experience from chef Michael Carranza, hidden away in an unassuming office building in North Austin. The concept was born out of the pandemic, with a focus on private dinners with seasonal Texas products and premium fish sourced from Japanese markets.
Michelin praises Tare’s creative dishes: “a Texas accent at work here, as in a Japanese ruby fish with salsa macha; toro tartare in a piece of chicharron; or Hokkaido scallop with shiro dashi aioli and chorizo.”
If you don’t have the time or patience to endure a trip down Interstate 35, then, no worries, they’re hauling the kitchen up here for a special dinner at another Michelin-recommended spot, Rye. What a night this will be for Greenville Avenue.
Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Dinner is a 12-course kappo-style (which just means you watch the chef prepare everything) omakase experience. The two teams are splitting the work; Carrazna will prepare six of his most popular dishes along with six from the Rye team.
Along with dinner, the Rye team will prepare cocktails, which is also a treat, as Michelin awarded the team here an Exceptional Cocktails Award. Tare’s team will supply sake.
Menu highlights include:
- Dry-aged amberjack with a melon aguachile
- Oyster Chintexle
- Tuna with salsa matcha and salsa verde
- Shima aji with serrano kosho
- Hotate toastada with chorizo xo
- Matcha tres leches
Dinner is this Tuesday, Aug. 26, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets start at $282 and can be purchased through Tock.
