Quiet, white tablecloth French restaurant has been open since the mid-1980s. The service and some of the cooking seems a lot older-and that’s a good thing if you’re a fan of traditional dishes such as duck l’orange or steak au poivre.

Au Troisieme, or AT Bistro, is neighborhood bistro in the heart of University Park (Preston Center). The concept is new American cuisine with a global influence – actually not French. There are a few French dishes on the menu (like fish Provencal), but then there’s also a kimchi Reuben. Start with the tuna and avocado appetizer […]
If you’re looking for a well-made baguette, the Village Baking Co.’s Boulangerie is a good place to find one. If you’re lucky, you’ll witness the baker pull several from the oven as you walk through the door. Not everything is quite that fresh, but everything you see was baked that morning, from the croissants to […]

This quaint French bistro in the Bishop Arts District has one of the best brunches in the city, a celebrated wine list, phenomenal French cuisine and a stellar oyster program. It almost feels arrogant of them to also have one of the best bars in the city. And, yet, here we are. Every Friday from […]
With a collection of specially commissioned sculptures and a dining room that’s literally a gold bar on the side of a skyscraper, Bullion is one of the most ambitious restaurants Dallas has seen in years. It’s also one of the best, with a deep cast of talented chefs producing elegant, but not pretentious, updates on […]
Jean-Marie Cadot cooks up some impressive French-New American dishes at this North Dallas destination. His version of escargot, riding in a Pernod-spiked sauce, ranks amongst the best in Dallas. The homemade terrines are memorable, and most other dishes will at least set you to talking – although at review time they were still working out […]
The French Room is still The French Room. In fact, it’s more The French Room than it had been in decades. A no-expense-spared restoration has returned the dining room to the elegance of its original look, closer to the way the restaurant appeared when it opened in 1912. Head Chef Michael Ehlert and his team […]

The recipe for the superb mushroom soup, in which the mushrooms are diced just […]
Too often we associate French cuisine with stuffiness, arrogance, overpriced fare or some combination of the three. Thankfully, Dallas has Knox Bistro to show off the best that French cuisine has to offer in a much more approachable fashion. Knox Bistro’s menu offers ingredients that aren’t at all complex but are so brilliantly executed that […]

If you’re headed to the area around The Star in Frisco, reward yourself with a visit to La Parisienne, a newish French bistro that has been open now for a couple of months. In an effort to sate a bit of wanderlust and memories of outdoor cafes along the banks of the Seine in Paris. […]
This is without question one of the finest venues in the metroplex. Few eateries possess the inviting, warm pull this Provencal bistro exerts, from the sheaves of dried lavender that soak the place with a sharp, musky smell, to the brick arches that provide a gentle rustic edge. A cursory glance at the table makes […]
Highland Park’s fine-dining restaurant Madrina manages to take Mexican food to levels it has never achieved in Dallas by infusing the cuisine with French techniques and lofty aspirations. Where else can you get duck confit enfrijoladas next to a whole lobster served en cro

A French steakhouse overlooking a lake is perhaps not something one expects to find in Plano, but Mignon is just that. It’s possible to imagine you’re somewhere other than a suburban strip mall when dining here — provided you can ignore the view of the Walgreen’s across the street and all the Lexus SUVs parked […]
Downtown’s glamorous gold-themed bar can be a place for a big, romantic night out, or it can be a quick place to crash after a show. The Mitchell is versatile, and that extends to the enormous liquor selection – including dozens of gins; order a martini and they’ll ask which you want – and the […]
