Park Cities in Dallas Observer
Showing 23 - 44 of 232
Bistro 31 tries to offer two things at once with their Highland Park menu: Salt cod croquettes, escargot and steak tartare cater to the neighborhood’s well-traveled jet setters, while grilled salmon and a burger appeal to those safe-eating Dallasites who have never left home. Prices skew high, with $27 lamb loins and $16 Kobe beef […]
The interior is small. Dark accent paneling climbs halfway up the red brick walls, which are adorned by a handful of flat-screen TVs. A copper-top bar spans the entire space, and two clear garage-style doors divide the interior from the half-covered patio, where most of the seating is. The menu, like everything else, is German-themed. […]
The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings such as the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is […]

Who wants ice cream in the middle of winter? We want it when it’s 100-plus degrees, when our thighs stick to the patio chairs and nothing sounds better than cold refreshment. Sure, you can get a grainy, chemical-tasting shake at some fast-food drive-through, but why would you when many Braum’s are open till 11 p.m.? […]
A friendly and casual bakery-café with a French bistro feel shelling out generous portions, Bread Winners is a Dallas Observer favorite. Cakes, pies and pastries are made fresh daily, perfect for those on the go or for noshing on the brick patio. It’s difficult not to arrive and find the place packed-especially during brunch, when […]

City-dwelling fans of Babe’s who are less than enthusiastic about driving out to Roanoke or Carrollton for their fried chicken don’t have to make that long drive just for a piece of chicken. Bubba’s Cooks Country in Snider Plaza has the same gloriously crispy, juicy fried bird, chicken-fried steak and a full lineup of down-home […]

Open since 1951, this landmark is the oldest Dallas burger joint, where you can get hamburgers, hot dogs, flavored Cokes, shakes or malts.
Dallas’ most popular Turkish restaurant opens in the suburbs, and it’s even better than the original. Designer space and classic Mediterranean fare, from dolmas to the famous Iskender Kebap.
Cafe 43 is adjacent to George W. Bush Presidential Center on SMU’s campus. The restaurant opened a decade ago and tickets to the center are not required to dine at the spot. You’ll only need to pay for parking across the street, which is about $7. Food plays a big role in foreign diplomacy and […]
Regulars boast about this Italian bistro, the worst-kept secret of well-heeled Dallas insiders. Some go just for carpaccio and focaccia.

Octopus in vinaigrette. Paella blooming with clams and shrimp and mussels. Fluffy Serrano ham with sliced lomo pork loin and rich spicy chorizo loaded with paprika. Simple spinach with pine nuts. Crisp-skinned blood sausage. Almond and garlic gazpacho. Café Madrid is Dallas’ best tapas restaurant, re-creating this Spanish gustatory ritual with keen exactitude. Savor each […]
Cafe Pacific opened in 1980, but it wasn’t until 2004 when it was reviewed at the Observer. Back then the restaurant was described as a cliché and right now that claim still holds true. There’s sole amandine on the menu and the waiters are starched and wrangled with ties. The food is fine enough, but […]
