For folks trying to watch their waistlines, eating out can be a major PITA – something as innocent-seeming as a salad can easily contain an entire day’s calorie allotment. Colorado-born fast-casual chain Modmarket, which bills itself as a “farm fresh eatery,” is refreshingly upfront about the nutritional stats of its food, even going so far […]
North in Dallas Observer
Showing 1167 - 1188 of 1975Monarch, a modern Italian restaurant created by Michelin-starred chef Danny Grant, lives on the 49th floor of the National in downtown Dallas. It has great views of the city and a menu that takes advantage of its wood-fired hearth, as well its patrons’ willingness to spend a bit of cash for these spectacular vistas and […]
Deep Ellum needed something like this. Monkey King Noodle Co. is an off-the-beaten-path Chinese street-food restaurant that brings big flavors on the cheap. The spicy beef noodle soup is exceptional and by far the best way to get to know the Monkey King’s handcrafted noodles. A subtle version of dan-dan noodles isn’t that spicy, but […]

Just a rhinestone’s throw from University Park, Nick Badovinus’ homage to his native Seattle features a plethora of oysters, a good bowl of chowder and simple but just-right preparations of seafood. Prices reflect the cost of flying these ingredients from the Pacific to Dallas, which (justly or not) causes some customers to raise their eyebrows. […]
The Moody Performance Hall is a performing arts venue located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas.
Chef Akira Imamura had more than 20 years of restaurant experience in his native Japan but always dreamed of coming to the US.

This restaurant specializes in the only Xi’an style noodles in Dallas. Off Legacy Drive in Plano, just west of 75, is a strip mall emblazoned with the yellow words “Food Court.” That terse but accurate description conceals a small operation filled with Chinese and Korean stalls, including a tofu specialist, a bubble tea shop and […]
Besides being an essential piece of the Dallas skyline, this I.M. Pei-designed venue is also world-renowned for its resident Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The incredible acoustics and 4,500-pipe organ must be heard to be believed. If you haven’t been since your fifth-grade class trip, it’s probably worth revisiting. Not into Tchaikovsky? Snag tickets for a night […]
Morton’s the Steakhouse may be a chain with more than 70 locations, but this is hardly Outback. Originally located downtown since 1987, Morton’s moved on up to McKinney Avenue in 2011. A fresh makeover the following year replaced the old-school dark wood-laden dining room with a new look more suited to its Uptown location: dimmer, […]
At Motor City Pizza, you can order a four-cylinder (four slices) or an eight-cylinder. A four-cylinder should comfortably feed two, but if you have a particularly voracious appetite, you might be able to polish one off by yourself. For hardcore carnivores, we suggest the Hoffa for a four-cylinder) Named after the infamous Teamsters Union president […]

Mozzarella Company owner Paula Lambert is somewhat of a legend among Dallas cheese lovers, and we really wish she were our grandma because she, along with her army of hairnet-sporting workers, has been turning out award-winning cheeses for more than 30 years. It’s not just limited to mozz, though. Lambert also produces a plethora of […]
Mr. Wok is absolutely the best thing that could have happened to a defunct Pizza Hut. Since 1989, the Kang family has been using the remodeled space in Plano to serve some of the Dallas area’s best Peking duck. You’ll notice the old relic in the rooflines, but walk through the front door and any […]
