Rank 17. 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 21. 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 24. Quarter Acre
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.

Rank 27. 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 31. Ngon Vietnamese Kitchen
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 35. Gemma
Contemporary New American
A husband-and-wife team runs this intimate neighborhood spot with the ease of people who've learned their craft in serious kitchens. The roasted heirloom carrots and Idaho trout almondine anchor a seasonal menu that turns simple ingredients into small revelations, while a warm raisin scone and Meyer lemon tart bookend the meal with understated refinement.

Rank 41. 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.

Rank 43. 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 44. Sachet
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 52. 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.

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 68. nonna
Italian
A modest storefront off a Highland Park thoroughfare reveals itself through blind-covered windows to disclose exposed brick, modern art, and a seasonal Italian menu anchored by constants like white clam pie and Maine lobster ravioli. The pasta selections shift with supply while an all-Italian wine list balances recognizable bottles with less familiar finds.
-
At a busy Oak Lawn intersection, Barsotti's pairs a striking black-and-white dining room with an open kitchen glimpsed from the curved bar. The contemporary trattoria keeps its focus narrow: housemade pastas—linguini with shrimp scampi, lasagna Bolognese, spaghetti with meatballs—executed with straightforward competence and an all-Italian wine list to match.

Rank 75. 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.

-
Rank 78. 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 89. Katy Trail Ice House
Texas Beer Bar
A sprawling patio off the Katy Trail where the beer list skews all-Texas and the crowd leans outdoorsy and thirsty. This ice house does Texas whiskeys and venison chili with the kind of casual, colorful ease that makes you want to stay longer than you planned.

Rank 100. 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.
