The Purple Cow

You always wanted to drink a hand-dipped purple milkshake. At The Purple Cow, you can do just that. Founded in 1989 in Little Rock, Arkansas, by chef Paul Bash and Ed Moore, there are three Dallas-area outposts that sell not only the purple milkshake but also classic Southern and general American favorites.

Pyramid Restaurant & Bar

The Fairmont Hotel, one of the finest places to stay in the Arts District, has a bar to match. The Pyramid Bar, located just a few steps inside the front door, is shrouded in the hotel’s golden beige. The space, set apart from the hotel only by its wooden floor, features an open lounge area […]

Quarter Acre

Chef Toby Archibald says restaurants like his Quarter Acre are plentiful in his native New Zealand, but this spot on Greenville Avenue in the former Rapscallion space is at the vanguard of some of Dallas’ most creative cooking. On its face, the cuisine may come off as pretentious, but a closer look reveals a playful […]

The Quarter Bar

This two-story Uptown Crescent-City-themed bar shares its wrought iron and plant-filled patio (as well as some of its menu items) with its next-door neighbor and sister establishment, Bread Winners. The bar manager says there’s even one popular snack that’s not on the menu, but the bar’s regulars know to ask for the green chili mac […]

Queen Of Sheba Restaurant

One of the most recognizable exported cuisines from the Motherland comes from the eastern side of the continent.

Over the years the numbers of East Africans have risen and as […]

Quill

John Tesar’s upscale Design District cocktail lounge features bottle service and craft cocktails in a chic atmosphere.

Radici

Next door to her already lauded Roots Southern Table, Radici is chef Tiffany Derry’s homage to the Italian-style cooking with which she began her career. To develop Radici’s menu, Derry traveled to Italy for culinary and cultural inspiration, and shows in her interpretations of the Italian classics. Pastas are on point, but Radici’s real work […]

Rafain Churrascaria

One of the Dallas area’s newest churrascarias-where “gauchos” tote around skewers of roasted, simply seasoned meat and you dine until you explode-bears more than a passing resemblance to Texas de Brazil, which popularized the Brazilian steakhouse concept in the metroplex. The cuts of meat and even the items in the expansive salad bar are similar, […]

Ramble Room

The two-story Ramble Room is an ode to classic American dishes located in Snider Plaza. The culinary director and partner chef is Stan Rodrigues, whose CV includes Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group in New York and, locally, Nick and Sam’s, Sixty Vines, Whiskey Cake and Neighborhood Services. The Ramble Room’s menu has house-made pastas, […]

Ramen Hakata

You can get ramen in a few places in Dallas, but the area was without a dedicated ramen shop until Ramen Hakata opened in Addison. True to Hakata-style, the soup is offered up at a low cost, without too many frills or extras. You can order extra noodles, soft-boiled eggs, garlic and other garnishes if […]
