Being a casual bistro inside of a four-star hotel has its benefits like validated parking with an optional valet and high class ambience. The updated lobby’s marble finishing offers a cool, sleek look and candlelight offers warm ambience that is striking and sophisticated. Aside from the absence of the famous chandelier, Asador stays true to […]

We work hard to be good at what we do. We are focused on incredible, high-quality, farmer-focused coffee from all over the world. We are fanatics. We spend much of our time sourcing the world’s best coffee, roasting it to perfection – enhancing their own characteristics and nuances – and brewing them with love for […]
There are few surprises at Nikky Phinyawatana’s Asian fusion restaurant. The Mint menu, much like its North Dallas counterpart, lists the regular players at first glance-satay, rolls, piquant Thai soups, stir fries, Mongolian beef. Then comes the house’s special pad Thai, which is available in the form of crunchy wonton strips, crab haul, low-carb (sans […]
It’s fitting that a city as geographically large as Dallas has a market and eatery that claims a whole large continent as its inspiration; their “About Us” blurb states on their website states, “As a market, we operate within the African Food and Grocery space, offering produce and the best-branded products from across the African […]
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 […]

Atlas opened in 2021 in the Bishop Arts District with a global cocktail menu. The vibe here is come-one-come-all. Pretty aperol spritzes stand tall alongside bottles of Lone Stars on the bar. It’s a fun mix of locals, tourists and first dates. Notice a bookshelf at the back of the bar and ask yourself if […]
In sorry-not-sorry news, we’re spilling the beans on hard-to-find Atwater Alley: Go past the door of Henry’s Majestic, toward the alley, then hang a right after the sidewalk ends and look for the door with an upside-down A over a right-side-up A. Once inside, Atwater doesn’t have QR codes or paper for menus, just tell […]
Colds and flu viruses monopolize the short fall and winter seasons. However, snow-cone stands, like this Oak Cliff operation, have a hold on the extensive inferno under which Dallasites roast most of the year. This summer chiller is a neighborhood institution and has been in business for more than four decades. It’s only open from […]
This neighborhood brewpub has a big open tap room with tables and a window bar in addition to the main bar facing the taps with a TV overhead. It has a relaxed neighborhood vibe; sorry no green and pink Instagram walls with a bright neon message. Autonomous offers more than 20 cold pints from a […]
Owner Jack Ekhtiar’s small restaurant is a place where hip meets classic. Dark wood frames live jazz. Rustic Mediterranean fare, predominately Northern and Southern Italian, is presented elegantly. Among the examples are farfalle carbonara, a 6-ounce Brazilian lobster tail over spinach linguini alfredo and shrimp as well as carpaccio Avanti with white truffle oil. On […]
The Avila family continues to serve classic Tex-Mex dishes to legions of rabid fans. They’ve been doing so since 1985 with tweaked family recipes of enchiladas, muchas enchiladas and chile relleno, which is a house specialty. Among the other signature dishes are the Anna Maria Plate (one soft cheese taco, one cheese enchilada and one […]

For more than 20 years, this neighborhood spot has been shelling out cheap mollusks with even cheaper brewskis. Much of the food comes in fried renditions, including oysters. However, there are many preparations offered, some unusual for shuck shack – stringed lights, coolers and picnic tables included – such as a ceviche and a trio […]
Ayahuasca is possibly the most difficult-to-find restaurant and bar in Dallas. To get to the Oak Cliff hideaway, enter at Xaman Cafe, then head down a back hallway to a wooden door. Step inside to one of the most transformative experiences in Dallas. The speakeasy style bar is moody and enchanting offering an experience like […]
For cold appetizers, a popular choice is the spicy and sour fern starch noodles. It looks like squid-ink noodles and is topped with chiles, sesame seeds and their signature sour sauce. For hot appetizers, you can’t go wrong with the fried Chinese doughnuts, fried milk custard or fried chicken wings. The fried Chinese doughnuts are […]

We figure there’s something wrong with people who can’t enjoy an occasional fried chicken dinner. Nonetheless, we feared we’d be wandering onto the documentary set piece for America: The Obese at Babe’s, a venerable family dining establishment in a Garland strip mall, a place where you’d expect to find an all you can eat fried […]
The small menu here reflects the predominantly fried All-Stars of Texan and Southern cuisine. There’s fried chicken and chicken-fried steak, natch. There’s fried catfish and pot roast. There’s fried chicken tenders and smoked chicken. That’s the entire selection of main dishes at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. No joke. And that’s a relief to see in […]
