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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
In the 1980’s, the Starck Club was the beacon of Dallas nightlife. The collision of glamor, fashion, industrial design and the occasional celebrity appearance (Prince, Madonna, Grace Jones) drew thousands of fast-lane party goers every week. Now, after decades of sitting dormant, the space has received a facelift and has been reopened as Zouk. The […]
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 […]
