Cool River Cafe

Las Colinas is known as a part of town where business happens. Top executives from all over the country travel to this section of North Irving to buy, sell, merge and do all sorts of other businessy things. And when the day is done, many of these tycoons can be found seated at the richly […]

Cooper’s Restaurant and Club

The bar’s advertisement in Latin Life Magazine isn’t kidding when it claims, “Now looking for new members!” Longtime members of the club and friendly bartender Jose will make sure you feel like a regular too. Cooper’s–featured as one of “Dallas’s Most Authentic Dive Bars”–has been at its current location at the corner of West Illinois […]

Cooper’s Meat Market

Cooper’s Meat Market, the tiny butcher shop in Sylvan Thirty, wants to redefine the steakhouse experience. Here, a cut of prime meat and a glass of wine don’t come with pretentious trimmings or high-class condescension. From the design of the space, it’s clear that Cooper’s would like anyone to walk in and feel welcome.

Corner Market

This isn’t the type of café where you can meet your friends for a post-dinner Americano (Corner Market closes at 8 p.m.), but if you want a tortellini plate as high as the Dolemites, then this is your café. Walk in and get overwhelmed by the variety of salads and sammies, among them the Mockingbird […]

Cosmic Café

Cosmic Cafe specializes in first wave vegetarian cuisine, which surely comes as no surprise to passers-by who’ve taken note of the Tibetan prayer flags lining the front porch or peace-seekers who show up to use the mediation center on the second floor. The food here is plain and artless. There aren’t any newfangled vegetables or […]

Cosmo’s Bar & Lounge

Tucked away at the corner of Skillman and Live Oak since 2000 is Cosmo’s, a restaurant and bar boasting no nonsense, one of a kind hospitality. With a ‘60s lounge vibe, specialty cocktails and an eclectic menu with some of the best damn Vietnamese dishes you’ll find anywhere in Dallas, Cosmo’s has something for everyone. […]

Coupes

Coupes is tucked into a Highland Park strip mall, but with this specialty shop’s renowned bubbly selection, it could easily belong in the posh Highland Park Village. We appreciate the approachability. Specializing in Champagne, Coupes was named one of the 10 best places to drink champagne in the United States by the Bureau du Champagne […]

Cowtown Dogs

First a sad bit of news, this food truck is only opened on Thursdays (they mostly do catering gigs). But great news! Now there’s something to look forward to on Thursday! Owner Matthew Toback is on a mission to bring superior dogs to Dallas. And he’s serious. He’s been studying dogs and toppings for years. […]

Craft & Growler

Officially open in November of 2012, Craft & Growler’s warm mahogany interior initially seems better suited for a New England setting, although the beer list proves otherwise. The bar’s 30 taps cover a diverse selection of craft beers, with a focus on Texas and Dallas-area microbrews. Apart from an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff of […]

Crandall Cotton Gin

The Crandall Cotton Gin is a bastion of home-cookin’ housed in — surprise! — an old cotton gin. (That’s gin as in an automated cotton-picking machine, not the liquor, so don’t get too excited.) Chicken-fried steak and chicken-fried chicken are what you’ll find on practically every table here, flanked by the requisite sides — fried […]

Cremona

A stone’s throw from the tony Uptown stretch of McKinney Avenue, this family-owned and operated Italian restaurant, named after a town in Italy, has been serving saucy fare since 1977. The current location, in a house with the outward appearance of a garden center, is the restaurant’s second iteration, though it has the same flare […]

The Crescent Club

The Crescent Club, located on the 17th floor of Hotel Crescent Court in Uptown Dallas, enjoys dazzling views of the downtown Dallas skyline with d

Crimson Coward

California mini-chain Crimson Coward has four locations in the Golden State, but the spot on Preston Road in Frisco is their first foray into Texas. At Crimson Coward, the chicken and fried sides are all made to order; there are no warming lamps or trays, so everything we ordered was piping hot and fresh. The […]

Cris and John

Cristina Mendez and John Pham opened Cris and John in 2017 in a North Dallas strip mall – bookended by a 7-Eleven and a laundromat – and have stood out with a creative blend of Vietnamese and Mexican street fare. The center of Cris and John’s menu is the phoritto, which piles all the goodness of […]

Crooked Tree CoffeeHouse

With its quaint appearance and blue-gray siding, you wouldn’t be faulted for thinking someone’s grandmother resides in the Uptown bungalow that houses Crooked Tree. The comfy plush chairs and couches mixed with wood chairs on hardwood floors, the reading room with peach walls further reinforce that feeling. The only thing missing are the endless tchotchkes, […]

Crown Block

Crown Block sits atop Reunion Tower, although it doesn’t spin as previous restaurants famously did. This is a great special occasion spot with big steaks and fine seafood. They also serve Sunday brunch.

Crú Food & Wine Bar

Floor-to-ceiling wine racks set into the walls combined with purples and autumnal tones darken this swanky wine aficionados’ destination. The low lighting adds a sense of chic and romance to Patrick Colombo’s (of Sfuzzi and Ferré fame) West Village wine bar, open since 2002. Crú and its staff stock more than 300 bottles of wine, […]
