Too often we associate French cuisine with stuffiness, arrogance, overpriced fare or some combination of the three. Thankfully, Dallas has Knox Bistro to show off the best that French cuisine has to offer in a much more approachable fashion. Knox Bistro’s menu offers ingredients that aren’t at all complex but are so brilliantly executed that […]

The restaurant is quite impressive, even from the outside. A doorman opens the large wooden doors and three hostesses with iPads at their fingertips greet you. Adjacent to the hostess stand is a Peking duck frying station with naked and fried red fowl hanging from hooks. It’s real in here.
The NorthPark outlet of the Arizona-based East-meets-West chain has a see-and-be-seen patio that seems to be bustling from open to close. You might try sitting at the bar with its 2,000-gallon aquarium backdrop. Either way, request Kona’s signature dish, the Macadamia nut chicken, or sushi rolls with fusion creations such as the Big Island meatloaf […]
With its separate floors for regular dining and barbecue, Sura is a veritable palace of Korean cooking. But, as satisfying as the All You Can Eat Meat Buffet might be, the simpler pleasures of dishes like spicy pork bulgogi and exquisite daily lunch boxes are more than enough to draw us back for more.
Koryo Kalbi’s prominence in Dallas’ original Korea Town is thanks in large part to the restaurant’s wide range. Want barbecued short ribs or bulgogi in a sizzling skillet? They’re experts at that. Craving some wintertime bowls of spicy-broth soups? They’ve got those. And, remarkably, it’s all good, across the board; unlike many restaurants, Koryo Kalbi […]

On a stretch of Greenville Avenue just south of Lovers Lane, there is a panoply of eating establishments. The unassuming blue and white structure is owned by Greek-born Dimitri Ioannides and caters to the spanakopita-loving phalanxes. The intimate space and its tables are filled with local business workers during lunch and couples and friends on […]
K’s House could be a gateway for non-Koreans to learn to love bulgogi or soft tofu soup, which is coming later this fall. On the other hand, it might not be such a gateway. It might instead serve as a substitute, much as sweet bowls of pad Thai have helped conceal the real depth and […]
While predominantly a meat market, Kuby’s is as close as you can come to experiencing a stripped-down, Old World delicatessen. It also offers customers a dining experience. Among the most popular is wurst teller, a sausage plate with homemade sauerkraut, German potato salad and red cabbage. The dinner menu also includes a rotating selection of […]

Bachelorette parties, birthdays and girls’ nights out have made La Bare a hunky, muscle-bound success since 1978. On the main stage, faux policemen, Marines, firemen and cowboys dance beneath strobe lights for an enthusiastic crowd whose screams nearly drown out the pounding club music. Smaller round stages feature a rotating crew of entertainers and can […]

La Bodega is a grab-and-go spot that serves a small menu of sandwiches, salads and rotisserie chickens. There is no dine-in here, but a few tables outside to eat picnic style. This is the work of Oak Cliff native and Dallas restaurant veteran, chef Skye McDaniel.
The flagship restaurant in Oak Cliff, situated in a cozy house with a wide patio, has been serving coastal Mexican cuisine in a quaint atmosphere since 1981. The owners have since opened a second restaurant in Lakewood. What makes Calle Doce stand out among the area’s panoply of Mexican fare is the focus on seafood-ceviche, […]
Sitting on the porch at La Calle Doce in Oak Cliff, you could easily believe you were lunching in San Antonio, not Dallas. Upscale but not stuffy, this local institution (which also has an East Dallas location) serves some of the best-quality Mexican seafood in town, from ceviche cocktails and tostadas to seafood chiles rellenos […]
The food here is as good as Tex-Mex gets, with made-from-scratch salsas and unusual care given to ingredients on which other restaurants cheap out. There’s no better way to get to know La Comida than to try one of the generous combo plates, like the one with a superb chile con carne enchilada and a […]
