Wow! Donuts and Drips

Wow Donuts and Drips is now open on Lovers Lanes, across from the new Odelay Mexican food restaurant and Eatzi’s. This is Wow’s second location – the flagship in Frisco opened in 2017. They make from-scratch doughnuts in small batches every few hours and rotate in dozens of new flavors throughout the year. It’s more […]

Written By the Seasons

Written By the Seasons is a beautiful restaurant in the center of the Bishop Arts District serving a seasonally adjusted menu focused on farm fresh fare, with an emphasis on vegetables. When the weather is nice, the dining room doors open to a large patio dotted with tables. The full bar has a carefully selected […]

Wyly Theatre

One of the four venues at the epicenter of the Arts District, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the Wyly is one of the city’s most distinctive structures. It was designed by renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, and its trailblazing 12-story layout means the theater can switch to any number of different configurations at the press of […]

Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse

With brick arches, ironwork and candlelit tables, the main dining room is as steakhouse as steakhouse gets. The patio with Texas Live Oaks offers a more casual setting. Diners can enjoy a glass from the wine menu split into “Old World” and “New World” sections as well as items from chef/owner Tony Street’s extensive game […]

Ye Olde Scarlet Pumpernickel Tavern

This downtown spot is a whiskey and craft beer with a side of hockey and amazing soul-filling bar food. It’s got dive bar grit and is somewhat of a hidden gem in downtown. Fill up on dishes like the smoked meatloaf plate with house ground beef, gravy, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The sandwiches […]

Yenat Guada

The injera at Yenat Guada – a light, spongy sourdough bread central to the Ethiopian dining experience – served with virtually every meal here. It also doubles as a customary dining utensil. Just tear off a manageable piece and then use it to pluck your food. Silverware is available upon request, but try the traditional […]

Yin’s Wok

Yin’s Wok is one delivery place that has never let us down. Lunch specials come with the choice of fried or steamed rice, a spring roll, soup and, of course, a fortune cookie. Veggie lovers will be delighted with vegetable delight; those not counting calories will salute General Tso’s chicken; and all the lo mein […]

Yogilicious

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, […]

You-Chun Korean Restaurant

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 […]

Yumilicious

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 […]

Yutaka Sushi Bistro

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 […]

Zaap Kitchen

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 […]

Zaguan Latin Bakery & Cafe

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 […]

ZaLat

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 […]

Zatar Lebanese Tapas & Bar

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 […]
