- Bullion, chef Bruno Davaillon's much-anticipated French brasserie in downtown Dallas, will open in October, according to a press release. With an in-house hydroponic farm built by Dallas Urban Farms, Davaillon will be able to grow much of his produce in house. We don't know exactly what the menu will look like, but early press releases hinted at a few dishes: escargot beignets, salmon rillettes, braised rabbit torte, potted duck confit and foie gras, and dover sole meuniere. The space includes a bar and lounge area, and the main dining room seats 98.

In the coming weeks, his staff is planning to roll out a new menu to the taproom in Deep Ellum as well as start serving on Sundays," GuideLive reports.
