Cannon’s Corner is a cozy neighborhood spot in Oak Cliff, just west of Bishop Arts, serving authentic Irish dishes like bangers and mash, fish and chips, plus plenty of dark beer and whisky.
All of the plaques on the wall bespeak busier, better days: citations in the Observer‘s annual Best of Dallas issue for best chips and salsa, inclusion in D magazine’s list of top restaurants. Problem is, most of the laurels date from the early and mid-1990s. Why is that? Competition, we figure, from splashier Mexican joints […]
Every bit as good as the original Addison location, possibly better, and in much more stylish surroundings. As always, we enjoyed the flawless tomatillo and tomato salsas, outstanding shredded beef enchiladas and succulent carnitas, served with a deliciously rich wine chipotle sauce. But Cantina Laredo also demonstrated a deft touch with fresh fish, and dessert […]
From the curbside out front, Cape Buffalo Grille looks like just another far North Dallas bar and grill. There’s a huge patio, happy hour specials, and a massive central bar with plenty of seating and a full menu from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., but what distinguishes Cape Buffalo from other neighboring establishments is that […]
In a warm environment of African mahogany paneling and art-deco chandeliers, diners feast on hearty surf and turf plates like the seared tenderloin with butter-poached lobster, the 22 oz. Delmonico steak and grilled swordfish. The bar menu offers spins on traditional bar items-mini lobster and crab burgers, parmesan truffle fries as well as pan-fried calamari […]

With an extensive draft and bottled beer selection, dartboards and dark wood, this watering hole has must-stop written all over it. This is further proven by the barhopping mobs along the stretch of Henderson on which Capitol is located. Lunch is served Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. There is a Sunday brunch […]
If you’re looking to feed a crowd of people something other than the usual Tex-Mex or Italian, consider Caravelle. Its modest strip mall location conceals a massive high-ceilinged dining room decked out in entirely too much pastel pink, accented with giant chandeliers and gold dragons. The extensive Chinese-Vietnamese menu offers a little something for everyone, […]
This marks the opening of the fifth location under the world-renowned Carbone brand, with this venue situated comfortably in Dallas’ Design District. Other Carbone locations include Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Miami and its original location in New York. Diners at Carbone can expect big and bold and well-designed plates meant to be shared. Signature dishes […]
Carbone Vino boasts of a wine list 1,000 bottles deep with vintages from all over Italy. This spot in the design district sits right next to Carbone, but is more casual. You can still get a lot of the same menu, but they also offer pizza. Most importantly you don’t have to have a reservation.
Dallas’ best red-sauce Italian joint serves classics like spaghetti with meatballs, fried calamari and veal Parmesan and does them right. Save room if possible, because the tiramisu (made with espresso) and cinnamon-cream-filled cannoli are as close to perfection as you’ll find. Carbone’s is a more casual alternative to owner Julian Barsotti’s two fine-dining establishments, Nonna […]

A slightly rundown strip mall near the intersection of two major highways may not be the first location you’d expect to find a wee taste of the islands, but you’d be wrong. Caribbean Grill is many things — a grocery store, a restaurant, a live music venue — but most of all it’s a place […]
First things first: This Carmine’s is not affiliated with the other similarly named establishments in town, something regulars are quick to point out. Loyalty runs deep here and offense is taken at anything that might besmirch the 30-plus year history of this North Dallas stalwart. Carmine’s specializes in New York City-style pizza, and the classic […]
If for some reason you find yourself wandering through the wilds of Terrell (shopping at the outlet mall, perhaps?) be sure to stop in to Carmona’s Tex Mex and get your picture taken with the handsome sombrero-clad statue holding down one of the entrances. As long as you’re there, you may as well refuel with […]

Owner Carolina Galvin (formerly Rodriguez) learned the trade as part of the M Crowd, Mi Cocina’s parent company. This far north restaurant has a familiar vibe, not surprisingly-although Tex-Mex presentation is generally superior to the popular local chain. Some 30 beers on tap, friendly service and a fantastic patio area attempt to compensate for what […]
Live music and drink specials. What more can you ask for? Well, beginner-friendly salsa nights on Thursdays are a start, so don’t be afraid to get out there and dance, whitey.
By morning Carte Blanche is a coffee shop with a counter flush with beautiful fresh pastries made by chef Amy La Rue. By evening chef Casey La Rue transforms the space into a 4- or 12- course tasting menu with a focus on native Texas ingredients with modern touches, which is paired with luxury wine. […]
Rafael and Kristen Alvarez opened Casa Del Bro in Frisco in early 2020 as an extension of three things they really love: healthy food, good ice cream and family (they have five kids). And as far as we can taste, it’s all come together perfectly. The service model here is reminiscent of Chipotle, with build-your-own […]
