Dallas boasts a vibrant culinary scene that keeps locals and visitors alike craving more.
With countless options available, it’s no wonder food enthusiasts are in a constant state of delight.
This month, the Eater Dallas editor highlights standout dishes and drinks that showcase the city’s exceptional dining offerings.
First on the list is Barcelona Wine Bar, located on Miller Avenue.
The star of the brunch menu is undoubtedly the olive oil pancakes.
Uniquely prepared without butter, these pancakes achieve a savory twist that elevates the traditional breakfast dish.
Paired with cinnamon butter and maple syrup, they deliver an elegant and satisfying start to the day.
Diners are encouraged to complement their pancakes with hearty meat-forward tapas, like jamon serrano or chorizo picante, for a well-rounded meal.
Next, we journey to Hugo’s Seafood Bar on West Davis Street, where the simple yet exquisite ahi tuna tostada steals the show.
Nestled on a double corn tortilla, the tostada features whipped avocado as the base, topped with diced raw tuna drizzled in a house-made garlic soy sauce that offers a sophisticated flavor reminiscent of a fancier chamoy.
Finished with sesame seeds and green onions, this dish pairs wonderfully with a refreshing cocktail known as Blame It On The Juice.
Composed of Tanqueray, blanc vermouth, infused honeydew, suze, and a milk wash, this drink is a perfect companion for summer.
The culinary adventure continues at Bushi Bushi near Addison, a delightful dim sum spot.
Diners can indulge in a variety of memorable dishes, including steamed soup dumplings, crispy shrimp balls, crab rangoon, and garlic bok choy.
However, the meal’s star was undoubtedly the dan dan noodles, prepared with chicken, fresh vegetables, and a flavor-packed soy-based house sauce.
The cozy atmosphere, along with accommodating staff, makes it ideal for a leisurely evening of dining and conversation.
Over in Goldie’s, a beet hummus special showcases the best of Texas beet season.
The vibrant pink dip is served with crispy naan, perfectly cooked until golden and glimmering with oil.
A colorful assortment of sliced cucumbers and endive leaves, plated atop a creamy bed of Kiefer yogurt and feta cheese, rounds out this visually stunning and tasty appetizer.
Finally, we arrive at Culpepper Cattle Co. in Deep Ellum, where nachos get the appreciation they truly deserve.
Their version features a perfect blend of refried beans, picadillo beef, and a gooey mix of Monterey Jack and yellow cheddar cheeses.
Baked to perfection for maximum crispiness and flavor, these nachos are a must-try, though they could use a side of guacamole for that perfect touch.
Freshly sliced jalapeños add a delightful upgrade to this classic dish.
Each of these locations offers something special to the diverse Dallas dining landscape.
If you’re looking to indulge in excellent food, these dishes are not to be missed.
