Louise Lamensdorf brings a little bit of France to Dallas and a little “Paris On your Plate” with her restaurant, Bistro Louise.

The cuisine is American with French, Spanish, and Italian influences, and the result is an authentic, gourmet dining experience. Louise uses only the finest cuts of meat and seafood that have been flown in from all over the world, and …

Transplanted from the hit restaurant that opened in New York in 2002, Craft Dallas maintains owner/chef Tom Colicchio’s original vision – to prepare the best seasonal ingredients simply and with finesse. Open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, Craft’s menus offer dishes as diverse as the Short Rib and Shishito Pepper Hash for breakfast and the roasted and braised Muscovy Duck with cranberries for dinner. Every dish is presented on a platter at the center of the table to encourage sharing, and the gesture may extend to divvying up one of the many home-made desserts and pastries.

Providing a vibrant space adorned with eclectic handmade accessories imported directly from San Miguel de Allende, Café San Miguel pays tribute to authentic Mexican cuisine with a menu that highlights otherwise hard to find dishes.

Fine cocktails and margaritas are also presented, and Antigua Cruz Tequila is featured as a must-try.

Although now defunct, Angela's Bistro was one of Dallas's quaint hot spots. Featuring a lush atmosphere with wood floors, cozy lighting, and modernist art work, patrons could feel perfectly at home as if they were in their own kitchen. While being soothed by classical and jazz selections, the food almost looks home-made and ranges from crab cakes, to cooked scallops, and usually ends with a chocolate pecan-crusted dessert. May Angela’s rest in peace.
