One couldn’t tell just by looking, but this Chinese restaurant doesn’t serve any animal products; it’s 99 percent vegan. The “meats” here–found both on the menu and the constantly changing buffet–are made with textured vegetable protein or are tofu look-alikes. There are also purely vegetable dishes–no fakers–including stir-fried spicy zucchini, veggie lo mein and crunchy […]

Don’t be fooled by the gratis basket of chips and plastic bowl of salsa (the salsa is actually quite good, loaded with tomato, fresh cilantro and garlic, and enriched with oil), or the enchiladas plates, either. Veracruz Cafe is not a Tex-Mex restaurant. Not even close. Seafood dominates the menu influenced by the coastal state […]
If Veritas Wine Room’s rustic, old-world décor and dimly lit, relaxed atmosphere make the wine bar and retail shop feel more like a pub than a wine room, it’s by design. Planned as a “VinoPub,” Veritas was opened in the summer of 2008 on Henderson Avenue. Boasting a revolving list of 350 labels of wine, […]

Twenty years and the progenitor of upscale Mexican is still cruising along. And they still take “upscale” seriously: fish tacos feature a thick, barely seared salmon filet. Black bean soup feels hearty and earthy, until the prickly heat of fresh chiles creeps in. After all this time, it’s still worth a visit.
There’s a common refrain that, for all its talent, Dallas doesn’t have many real Italian restaurants. Via Triozzi aims to change our minds by checking a lot of requisite Italian boxes: an exquisite lasagna, daily house-made pasta and several other well-executed Italian basics. Naturally, there’s an impressive, red-heavy wine selection and a full bar with […]
Considering its location in the upscale Knox-Henderson area, Vickery Park is refreshingly unpretentious. Whether you hang out on the well-worn porch, watch a game on one of several big screens in the main room, belly up to the spacious bar or settle into one of the couches in the lounge area, you’ll feel at home. […]
Since 2008, this sleek Henderson Avenue restaurant has been a spot for the young social set to show off some new threads, throw back specialty cocktails and sip on craft beer. The food is all over the map, but it’s good, leaning on Asian, Middle Eastern, Spanish and American flavors. Picture a hunk of celery […]
A staple of Victory Park, Victory Tavern is the moderate- to high-priced bar and grill that fills up on game and concert nights and empties out when the downtown entertainment district does. The bar, a huge rectangle in the middle of room, is covered in warm cherry wood, as is the ceiling and the walls. […]

Longtime Dallas restaurateur Robert Colombo (the successful Trece Mexican restaurant across the street and The Club in The Centrum) has assembled an organic “pasteria” featuring house-made pasta from organic semolina, organic vegetables, organic wood-fired chicken, and table water and sparkling waters produced with an in-house filtration and gasification system. The pastas are near perfect, the […]
Baking demigod Clint Cooper had been making bread for local restaurants, hotels and grocery outlets for nearly a decade before he opened up this retail outlet, churning out baguettes, kouign amman, brioche, croissants and specialty loaves so good they’d tempt an angel to gluttony. So, obviously, we never stood a chance. We’re not saying we’re […]
Is it a bar or a counter-service burger joint? Village Burger Bar–a brightly lit, sleek, crisp and minimally decorated spot nestled in an enormous glorified strip mall called the West Village–is both. Along with decent burgers that come with regular or sweet-potato French fries, the bar offers premium liquors and a small but interesting selection […]

This wine bar might come across as classy, but with 100 bottles at $25 or less, it’s an affordable and welcoming wine bar. Sure, there are selections well over the $25 mark on the Captain’s Wall, but the overall feel is one absent of pretense. That’s what co-owner Clint Brookshire and company have been going […]
Vrindavan brings style of meal to Frisco. But the first thing you’ll want to do is make a reservation; there’s no walk-in seating. Thali is a traditional Indian meal served on stainless steel tray containing a main circular plate with eight small bowls. Here at Vrindavan a parade of servers carry a set of serving […]
