Showing 1871 - 1892 of 1980This locally owned spot has a bevy of house-made beers all brewed at their seven-barrel Deutsche brewhouse, which is right behind the bar. Their chef-run kitchen is far better than your average bar food. Be sure to try a pizza with a made their own sourdough starter. They have a great trivia at 7 p.m. […]
All of the menu items are crafted from 100% Gardein meat – a meat substitute made of soy, wheat and pea proteins – and flavored with the same spices and condiments as a typical kebab. Gardein is lauded for its unique ability to assume the stocky textures of meats ranging from more common ones like […]
One couldn’t tell just by looking, but this Chinese restaurant doesn’t serve any animal products; it’s 99 percent vegan. The “meats” here–found both on the menu and the constantly changing buffet–are made with textured vegetable protein or are tofu look-alikes. There are also purely vegetable dishes–no fakers–including stir-fried spicy zucchini, veggie lo mein and crunchy […]
There’s a common refrain that, for all its talent, Dallas doesn’t have many real Italian restaurants. Via Triozzi aims to change our minds by checking a lot of requisite Italian boxes: an exquisite lasagna, daily house-made pasta and several other well-executed Italian basics.

Longtime Dallas restaurateur Robert Colombo (the successful Trece Mexican restaurant across the street and The Club in The Centrum) has assembled an organic “pasteria” featuring house-made pasta from organic semolina, organic vegetables, organic wood-fired chicken, and table water and sparkling waters produced with an in-house filtration and gasification system. The pastas are near perfect, the […]
Is it a bar or a counter-service burger joint? Village Burger Bar–a brightly lit, sleek, crisp and minimally decorated spot nestled in an enormous glorified strip mall called the West Village–is both. Along with decent burgers that come with regular or sweet-potato French fries, the bar offers premium liquors and a small but interesting selection […]

This wine bar might come across as classy, but with 100 bottles at $25 or less, it’s an affordable and welcoming wine bar. Sure, there are selections well over the $25 mark on the Captain’s Wall, but the overall feel is one absent of pretense. That’s what co-owner Clint Brookshire and company have been going […]
