Urbano Cafe

Urbano Café is a restaurant that resists classification. A veal Bolognese and risotto will have you thinking you’re in a quaint Italian cafe, but then an Asian-inspired appetizer will keep you guessing. Split into two dining rooms in a shopping plaza that also hosts Jimmy’s Food Store, Urbano Café makes good use of local ingredients. […]

V-Eats

Few Dallas restaurants mark their debut appearance on the culinary scene with national coverage on Fox News, but V-Eats Modern Vegan did just that, thanks to their all-vegan brisket. Not all Texans, it seems, are ready to chow down on vegan barbecue. Silly headlines aside, he food at V-Eats is mostly pretty good. The kitchen […]

Val’s Cheesecakes

Val’s from scratch cheesecakes are a blessing upon this city. With a seasonally rotating menu of flavors, there’s always something new to try. And the presentation makes them gift-worthy.

Vegan Food House

Vegan food house has become a staple of vegan dining in Dallas. Here “chicken wings” and soul food are so bright and flavorful, you’ll soon forget that your carnivorous ways. It’s not the diet that will bring you back, rather the flavor of care put into every dish.

Veracruz Café

Don’t be fooled by the gratis basket of chips and plastic bowl of salsa (the salsa is actually quite good, loaded with tomato, fresh cilantro and garlic, and enriched with oil), or the enchiladas plates, either. Veracruz Cafe is not a Tex-Mex restaurant. Not even close. Seafood dominates the menu influenced by the coastal state […]

Veritas Wine Room

If Veritas Wine Room’s rustic, old-world décor and dimly lit, relaxed atmosphere make the wine bar and retail shop feel more like a pub than a wine room, it’s by design. Planned as a “VinoPub,” Veritas was opened in the summer of 2008 on Henderson Avenue. Boasting a revolving list of 350 labels of wine, […]
