Sushi Bayashi

Sushi Bayashi brings Japanese cuisine to Trinity Groves, with a smart-looking patio space and a sharp dining room filled with communal tables. Get to know your neighbors over some Sapporo and dive into the appetizer menu, where salty, fatty bites pair perfectly with beer. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, the curry […]

Sylvan Avenue Tavern

This spot sits on the second floor above TEN Ramen at the Sylvan Thirty complex and is a sister-spot to Bryan Avenue Tavern. It’s a great spot to catch a game and have a cold drink but be sure to go hungry. Start with their West Dallas Deviled eggs built with a bacon jam base […]

Tacos Mariachi

Few Dallas-area restaurants are making cheffy, inspired twists on classic foods in the lowest price bracket. Tacos Mariachi, with its brilliant riffs on seafood tacos, is one of them. Where else in Dallas can you find a smoked salmon taco, the fish folded into a griddle-melted blanket of cheese? Other offerings showcase octopus and shrimp, […]

Taj Chaat House

First-timers to Taj Chaat may well be overwhelmed with choices, but that’s a feature, not a bug. Inside this restaurant’s rambunctious dining room, at least four walls are covered with all-vegetarian menu choices ranging from enormous, excellent dosas to trays of tapioca vada (fritters). To try a sampling of dishes, order a thali, although again […]

Talenti

For anyone who’s tasted the gelato in Italy, coming back to the United States and settling for the gelato here feels like cruel and unusual punishment. That is until we found a gelato in the States that we actually liked, and it turns out it’s made right here in Big D. Talenti, which can be […]

Tango Room

There are some Dallas restaurants that are great then there are restaurants that make Dallas great. Tango Room is both. The experience starts when you walk into the restaurant, which sits quietly in the shadows of showy Carbone. Here a sleek red sign no more than 2 feet high whispers its presence. Inside, Andy Warhol’s […]

Taste of Europe

Taste of Europe is a treasure that like all things valuable requires digging. It’s an unintentional replica of a roadside diner/souvenir shop, only featuring thick slices of Russian culture. Dig through the Disney matryoshkas (nesting dolls) to find the exquisite Russian fairy tale dolls. Scrape through the omelettes, BLTs and burgers to find delicious Georgian […]

TEN Ramen

This small ramen bar in West Dallas, an offshoot of Teiichi Sakurai’s Tei An, has gathered a cult-like following for silky broth and succulent noodles. Ten Ramen’s menu is compact: two ramens, two rice bowls, a broth-less mazemen and a lobster miso, along with a rotating weekly special. Yes, there’s only standing room for a dozen or […]

Texas De Brazil

The Texas de Brazil in Fort Worth boasts the same world-class salad bar and savory roasted meats (delivered to your table on skewers) as its cousins in Dallas and Addison, but like Cowtown itself, the place is exceptionally friendly. Excellent lobster bisque, filet mignon and rack of lamb. The layout of the multilevel restaurant-with some […]

Texas Live

Just outside Globe Life Field is a bevy of restaurants and bars, all housed under one roof called Texas Live! And if you’ve ever thought, “Sure wish I could watch the game somewhere fun tonight” this is your home. Before a Rangers game, it’s packed with families and sports fans scarfing down plates of nachos […]
