Rank 23. Cosmo's
Vietnamese
A corner spot with '60s lounge bones, a VHS-stacked bar, and a patio that feels miles from the street, Cosmo's pairs specialty cocktails—including a martini built with house-brewed Vietnamese coffee—with an eclectic kitchen that nails Vietnamese dishes. The garlic noodles are worth a special trip if they're available that night.

Rank 25. MộT Hai Ba
Fusion
A narrow room with wood floors and brick hides behind an auto repair shop, where Chef Peja Krstic blends Serbian roots with Vietnamese and French technique and Texas ingredients—beef brisket in steamed bao, tempura squash blossoms with nuoc cham, coconut lemongrass panna cotta with peanut crumble. The cooking is restless and curious, never settling into one tradition.

New American
Chef Toby Archibald's intimate Dallas dining room channels a New Zealand-inflected aesthetic while his cooking balances classical technique with international flourishes, from pristine raw preparations to fire-kissed finishes. The tasting menu unfolds as a personal, seasonally calibrated narrative rather than a greatest-hits collection.

Vietnamese
Carol Nguyen's rustic-trimmed space on Lower Greenville channels Hanoi street food with an unpretentious hand. Green papaya salad arrives layered with herbs and house-made beef jerky; noodle bowls come crowned with chargrilled pork and imperial rolls, the cooking bright and balanced throughout. A neighborhood gathering place that serves the straightforward, well-executed thing.

Rank 51. Fearing's
Southwestern New American
Inside the Ritz-Carlton, Chef Dean Fearing's dining room reads traditional steakhouse but operates by its own rules. A Lone Star mosaic of raw tuna, wagyu, salmon, and barbecued eel arrives like stained glass; baklava s'more pivots toward pistachio marshmallow and burnt rosemary ice cream. American cooking with Southwestern swagger, built on surprise.
-
The Alamo Club has the settled-in feel of a neighborhood fixture despite opening just a few years ago, with owner Austin Rogers working the room and chef Michale West turning out crowd-pleasing apps and entrées like a loaded club burger and pot roast pappardelle. It's the kind of unpretentious, all-purpose spot where you can linger over a quiet date, bring the family, or post up with friends for drinks without anyone feeling out of place.

Rank 57. Georgie
Contemporary
Georgie dresses its dining room in peachy retro-modern tones while the kitchen plays with form—crispy potato churros, roasted chicken with sauce vin jaune—without losing sight of ingredient quality and classical technique. The prices are steep, but the attentive service and indulgent desserts justify the splurge.

Rank 61. Knox Bistro
French
A bright bistro staffed by French émigrés who understand the assignment: rillettes de poisson at lunch, lapin à la moutarde and canard à l'orange at dinner, a Paris-Brest for dessert that arrives looking like it wandered out of a pastry case in the sixth arrondissement. The room resists heavy-handed Gallic theatrics in favor of something more elegant—a restaurant that lets the food speak.

Rank 64. Mister Charles
Italian-influenced French
An opulent Dallas dining room where French and Italian luxury collide—Dover sole tableside, wagyu Wellington, lobster canapés—with the ceremonial flourish of baked Alaska for finale. Skilled service and substantial wine elevate an indulgent, dress-to-impress meal.

Rank 65. Mamani
Contemporary French
Chef Christophe De Lellis, formerly of Joël Robuchon in Vegas, opened this polished Dallas outpost around elevated bistro cooking and impeccable technique. Dover sole in brown butter and a textbook Paris-Brest suggest a kitchen that respects classical foundations while a serious wine list rewards the curious diner.

Rank 76. Catbird
Cocktail Bar
Climb to the ninth floor of the Thompson Hotel and squeeze through a flower tunnel into Catbird, an art deco fever dream of geometric prints, fireplaces, and a bedazzled Russian doll that feels like a surrealist gallery collided with a swanky lounge. Cocktails lean playful—think gin sippers infused with green tea and cold foam concoctions made with mineral water—and the rooftop wraps around the city like you've unlocked a secret level.

Rank 79. Tei-An
Japanese Noodles
In a stark, gallery-like space in the Arts District, Tei-An grounds itself in the ritualism of handmade noodles—soba and udon served hot or cold with both classical and unorthodox accompaniments. The kitchen moves beyond its foundations with equal command, turning out tempura and grilled eel alongside tonkatsu, each dish executed with the precision of someone who has thought through every detail.

Mediterranean
Sunlight floods this corner room where the service feels as warm as the Mediterranean sprawl on the menu—North African spices, Levantine technique, Italian bones. Octopus arrives with freekeh; lamb settles into gigante beans. If the booths are full, the counter bar offers a front-row seat to the kitchen's assured hand.

Rank 88. Lucia
Italian
In the Bishop Arts District, David Uygur works from Italian foundations, building dishes around seasonal Texas produce and house-made pasta with the restraint of someone who trusts his ingredients. The menu turns with the seasons; wine leans Italian. Jennifer's warmth at the door makes the small room feel like it's been waiting for you.

Rank 89. Brick & Bones
Cocktail Bar
A Deep Ellum bar with unhurried charm that pours six house cocktails priced right and knows how to move a crowd without the scene. The small kitchen does a 24-hour-brined Mexican-inflected fried chicken that arrives shattering-crisp, and the whole place has the feel of old Deep Ellum before the polish arrived.

Rank 94. Meyboom Brasserie
Belgian Cocktail Bar
A cozy Belgian brasserie on Greenville with serious cocktail chops, especially their espresso martini that earned a spot on our best-of list. The bar bites hit just as hard—try the fried goat cheese balls with honey and a cherry-lambic drizzle—and the drinks menu spans craft cocktails, wine, and old-world beers.

Rank 96. Ayahuasca Cantina
Mezcal Mexican
You enter through a cafe's back hallway into a moody speakeasy where every bottle behind the bar hails from Mexico and cocktails trace the country's drinking history from pre-Columbian fermentations through modern riffs. The kitchen matches that ambition with pre-Hispanic dishes like octopus in ink and stone-cooked broths, prepared with enough authenticity that servers will happily decode the menu.

Rank 98. Cattleack Barbeque
Barbecue
Wood smoke announces Cattleack before you see the line. Pitmaster Andrew Castelan tends oak and hickory fires for brisket and ribs that need nothing but themselves, though the bright, tangy house sauce sits ready on every table. Sides—charred greens, burnt end beans, street corn—and cornbread complete the picture of a barbecue operation running exactly as it should.

A straightforward neighborhood bar in Deep Ellum that fills up with the AAC crowd before games and shows, with a kitchen turning out solid burgers, chili cheese dogs, and club sandwiches. The kind of place where you might come for one drink and the food and company keep you there much longer.
