This fro-yo purveyor just might have the heft to support its claims as an “oasis,” and a “frozen yogurt dessert lounge.” Sleek and contemporary in design, Yogilicious offers customers what seems like an endless array of flavor combinations. Coconut is among the most popular and when topped with fresh tropical fruit, like chunks of pineapple, […]
Yogurtland, as its name implies, is pretty much Candyland for frozen-yogurt lovers. It’s clean, bright and modern, with a bank of self-serve frozen-yogurt machines on one wall. Flavors range from the expected (chocolate, vanilla, plain tart) to the inventive (red velvet, salted caramel pecan) to the downright outlandish (taro, dragon passion tart). Grab a cup […]
Though the menu is tiny–barely a dozen items–the food reflects laser-like focus. Dumplings and arrowroot noodles are precise and well-seasoned; marinated beef ribs are rich and dribbling with juices. Kimchee is killer. Plus, the huge flat screen in the front of the dining room broadcasts Korean dating game shows; at least we think that’s what […]
By now we know this new-wave frozen yogurt is healthier for you than ice cream – low-calorie, nonfat, good for your complexion. We’ve heard all that before, but this new-wave yogurt explosion continues to leave a lasting mark on the face of Dallas. Beyond the novelty of the fro-yo trend, though, there’s room to appreciate […]
Quite possibly Dallas’ best sushi bar, Yutaka has been an Uptown staple since 2006. Chef-owner Yutaka Yamato oversees a mouthwatering list of fresh sushi and sashimi that changes with the seasons and with new shipments flown directly from Japan. His sushi rolls hew to traditional styles, with the emphasis on simplicity and good ingredients; none […]

Greenville Avenue’s own slice of Laos is a good place for newcomers to the cuisine to try Laotian food for the first time. Grab a combo of meat, papaya salad and sticky rice and snack on fried pork riblets, dusted in golden fried garlic, as an appetizer. Nam khao, crispy rice mixed up with jerky […]
A zaguán is the mosaic-tiled entryway of Venezuelan homes, and this bakery and cafe is an entryway to some new tastes. Like traditional Venezuelan cachapas – a thick, sweet-corn crepe filled with shredded beef, Serrano ham or several other fillings, and arepas overflowing with melted Venezuelan cheese. You can make a meal out of cachapas […]
For creative eccentricity, no pizza place in town can top ZaLat, which is unafraid to make a pizza that tastes like pho, elote, a Reuben sandwich or a loaded baked potato. But the flavors aren’t a stoner novelty gimmick; ZaLat builds on a great crust with top-shelf ingredients. Our favorites include the Zealot, ZaLat’s version […]
For this city, for too long, “Mediterranean” food – the euphemism restaurateurs use to avoid racist sentiment – meant a simple diet of gyros, hummus and lukewarm lunch buffets. Zatar Lebanese Tapas ditches the word “Mediterranean” and presents a menu of foods which are difficult, or impossible, to find elsewhere in North Texas. The cheese […]
Texas barbecue gets influenced by Mexican heritage at Zavala’s, and the results are deeply satisfying. Every Friday is taco night, but every barbecue tray can be converted into a taco plate if you ask for tortillas. This might be a hot take, but tortillas are a better barbecue accompaniment than white bread. A slice of […]

The first Dallas-area restaurant from celebrity chef Jos
Zen Sushi’s meditations are focused on the artifacts of the plate, nearly to the exclusion of all else. The surroundings are comfortable yet Spartan and reek of soul, much like the austerity of sushi’s exacting craft and discipline. At the end of the sushi bar is a pulpit to such craft, a space where chef […]
Australian-based gelateria and pastry shop Zero Gradi in downtown Dallas – sister store and neighbor of 400 Gradi – is serving some amazing pastries and desserts. Both Gradi concepts are the work of Johnny Di Francesco, an Australian-born and Naples-trained chef. But, this spot is helmed by local pastry chef Lizzy Ramirez. With more than […]
Ziziki’s serves the Greek grand slam: spanakopita, pastichio, souvlaki and baklava. This crisp Mediterranean-style bistro also has Italian inspirations, an award-winning wine list and a God’s platter for those with megalomaniacal appetites.

Appropriate to the department store’s high-end selections, Zodiac is a fine establishment of white tablecloth appointment on the sixth floor of Neiman Marcus’ flagship downtown store. Speaking of appointments, this restaurant is the kind of place for which reservations are highly recommended. There’s no dropping in after scoping out the Christian Louboutin Trunk Show. The […]

Zoli’s, with its Star Wars artwork, sassy signage and boundary-pushing pies, still sets the standard for pizza in the Dallas area. The restaurant’s cult following – just try walking around the Bishop Arts District, where the restaurant was originally located, wearing a Zoli’s T-shirt – is fully matched by the intense deliciousness of pies like […]
Right on the edge of Plano is a Greek restaurant that puts all those Manhattan coffee shops to shame. This family establishment is a treat. Start with the appetizers and stay there awhile. The spinach pie (spanakopita) baked with feta cheese and filo dough makes you want to order another. The falafel is some of […]
This tiny area chain, co-founded by Espartaco Borga in 1993, is a health-conscious bargain muncher’s paradise. None of the menu items is more than $10. The kitchen goes to great lengths to provide good eats, even making the corn tortillas and thirst-quenching peach-mango iced tea from scratch. The foundation and the most popular dishes here […]
