Any stop at one La Salsa Verde’s four locations must involve at least one of the tacos de cabeza. That could mean lengua, or tongue, an ultratender cut that looks, when plated, as if it’s been pulled. The only thing better than a taco de lengua is a taco de lengua rebanada; the only difference […]

At the helm of La Stella is Chef Luigi Iannuario, who was born and raised in Italy, and whose career has spanned everywhere from private chef to Michelin-starred restaurants. “Verace” means “authentic” in Italian, and La Stella Cucina Verace interprets “verace” as “a way of life and an appreciation for good food, good wine, and […]
Whether you’re hungover or just plain hungry, the breakfast burritos at La Victoria in East Dallas are the cure for what ails you. From the outside it looks like a run-down drive-in, but as anyone who’s ever hooked up with a “hottie” from Craigslist knows, looks can be deceiving. Grab a table or a bar […]
Lying low on a near-hidden corner of Bishop Arts gives LadyLove the allure of a speakeasy, but there’s no prohibition at this inclusive space. The bar’s music is loud enough to dance to but not loud enough to drown your conversation, giving you the perfect option to sit down with your date or dance to […]

This just-grungy-enough East Dallas neighborhood spot is a great neighborhood bar. It’s a perfect spot to see what’s happening in the Dallas beer scene with the options to enjoy you beer there, or fill up a growler to go. They keep the full tap lest (and keg levels) online in case you want to peruse […]
For more than 50 years, Lakewood Landing is the “upscale dive” Dallasites turn to for a great burger and a neighborhood bar atmosphere that you just can’t find at many places around town these days. The Landing packs a lot of character into its small space with a pool table and jukebox that is kept […]
Land of a Thousand Hills is a coffee chain based in Georgia that works directly with farmers in Rwanda to provide living wages. Their outpost in Deep Ellum is located inside the Novel residence building and not only provides a comfortable space to relax or work, but also does good for local artists. If you […]
Inside a Dallas historic landmark built in 1924 is another type of landmark. This one, a restaurant. Beginning with breakfast and on through the day to a late-dinner seating, the Landmark offers guests unique spins on classic American fare. The rise-and-shine set enjoys the likes of grilled 4-ounce prime beef tenderloin filet with two farm-fresh […]
Lanny’s Alta Cocina is without a doubt one of the pillars of the Fort Worth dining scene. Headed up by the great-grandson of the guy who founded Joe T. Garcia’s, Lanny’s turns out food that is miles away from the fajitas and margaritas you’ll find at that other institution. Refined and classy but never stuffy […]

This “shrine to the spirits of Mexico” recently contended for a James Beard Award for best bar in the United States, a recognition of its extraordinary library of tequilas, mezcals, sotols, raicillas, corn whiskeys and more. You could nerd out over a specific rare liquor from the list of specials, or you could sit on […]
Las Palmas has been cranking out some solid Tex-Mex for years; in fact, it was the 2022 Reader’s Choice pick for best all-around restaurant in Uptown. The votes poured in for good reason: the restaurant nails the classic dishes and serves them up in a classy dining room that mixes Dallas with a splash of […]
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 […]
If you like thick prime rib slobbering in jus with time-worn décor and mannerisms, this is the place. Lunch at the Ale & Sandwich bar is astounding.
LDU isn’t trying to be the kind of coffeehouse where you post up all day on a comfy couch with a laptop; Australian coffee culture is more about the coffee itself. Those modern design elements – all that wood and concrete – make the space get quite loud as the room fills up, so it […]

Le Taco sprung after Scotch & Sausage’s shifted direction at their Oak Lawn restaurant to a more Dallas-y direction: tacos and tequila. Moo shu duck, yellow curry and tempura avocado join the usual suspects like carnitas and such. And then there’s the torta burgers. You’ll need to unhinge your jaw to get your mouth around […]
With its throwback wood-paneled walls and old-school neon beer signs, Lee Harvey’s is the pinnacle of dive-bar excellence. A Dallas institution, this ol’ watering hole is exactly where you’d want to go to knock down a few cold ones after a long week of work. Don’t have a hot date? No problem. Bring your pup […]
If Leela’s Wine Bar were an Airbnb host, it would definitely have super-host status. Leela’s original location on Greenville Avenue is a little bit more free-spirited than its Uptown sibling, where the mood is a touch more mature with lo-fi bass beats and dark green plush booths. At both locations, Leela’s implements a tap system, […]
Leela’s Pizza and Wine Bar in Uptown is a cozy minimalist pizza and wine den bathed in calming wood and forest green. They offer 16 wines on tap, a process that reduces waste and ensure quality wine. We love the Roman-Tonda style of pizza that is cracker thin but strong enough to hold up the […]
