January can be a sleepy month in restaurant news, but not in Dallas, and not right now. We're enjoying a bounty of new restaurants, new menus, new dishes, and new cocktails. Some of these items are available on only a limited-edition basis — meaning, you're going to need to get out and try them quick before they disappear.

Here's the latest happenings in Dallas dining:

Boi Na Braza, the Brazilian steakhouse, will open a location in Irving at the Toyota Music Factory on January 17. Known for roasted meats, a plentiful salad bar, and wine list. Located at 310 W. Las Colinas Blvd., it will be the third Boi Na Braza, joining the original location in Grapevine, which opened in 2000, and another in Cincinnati, which opened in 2007.

Bullion, the French restaurant from chef Bruno Davaillon, is now serving lunch, Monday-Friday, 11:30 am-2 pm. A selection of hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, and entrées will range in price from $9 to $28. Options include gruyère cheese puffs, steak tartare, sunchoke soup, cod brandade, risotto with artichoke, salade Niçoise, an Angus burger croque monsieur, steak frites, and roasted chicken. Bullion is also open for dinner Monday-Saturday, with yet another menu for the lounge.

Pōk the Raw Bar, the poke shop at West Village, has two specials for the month of January: a special bowl with yellowtail, avocado, mango, shaved red onion, and crispy leeks; and matcha horchata, with ceremonial grade matcha, almond milk, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and cloves, available hot or iced. The January bowl is the first of a new monthly LTO series, featuring a different and seasonal poke bowl each month.

Fearing's, the legendary restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas hotel, has a new menu of cocktails with a personal story behind each, such as A Fish Called Wanda, named for chef Dean Fearing's fiancee. They feature spirits from the American Southwest and south of the border, such as the margarita with Patron Añejo Tequila; the flaming tamarindo with Avion Silver, Amaretto, and tamarind syrup; and the Tejas railroad with Olmeca Altos Tequila and Del Maguey Vida Mezcal. The Rattlesnake Bar also has an enhanced menu with crab cake sliders, loaded duck fat tater tots, chicken and mango quesadillas, nachos, and the signature buffalo tacos.

Pinstack, the dining and bowling spot, has three monthly specials from executive chef Dan Bevis: black-eyed pea minestrone, chipotle cheddar stuffed pretzels with ancho chile queso blanco, and the buffalo chicken mac n cheese pizza, which seems like a lot of things to put on a pizza. They'll be available for the remainder of the month.

Junction Craft + Kitchen in Deep Ellum has opened an adjacent speakeasy called Leadbelly's, accessible by walking through the kitchen. Their new late-night menu includes stuffed dates, deviled pork belly, roasted duck heart and bacon toast, sticky fried chicken, and a cheeseburger slider. Bartender is Michael Sturdivant, of The Cedars Social.

Pie Five, the quick-serve pizza chain, has introduced a super-trendy limited-edition item: a crust made from cauliflower. Cauliflower crusts have become a thing in the wake of all the phobia surrounding gluten; it's gluten free and has 40 net carbs, which undoubtedly means something to people counting such things. Pie Five is the first fast-casual pizza concept to introduce a cauliflower pizza crust. Even if you're not gluten-avoiding, you might like cauliflower's high doses of vitamin C, Vitami, phytochemicals, anti-inflammatory compounds, and antioxidants. It is also thought to help improve digestion and detoxification. What doesn't cauliflower do? The new crust joins Pie Five's other crust options including crispy artisan thin, classic pan, traditional Italian, and gluten-free. You'd best get ordering it as the cauliflower crust will only be available through February 11.

Le Bureau is the name of the latest limited-run popup from chef Tim Love, a French concept that will be open from February 7-10. The popup is located at Love's Fort Worth Test Kitchen inside the LoveStyle Inc headquarters at 713 N Main St. in Fort Worth. The menu includes potato leek soup, rabbit terrine, poached oysters and caviar, celery root carpaccio, langoustine-black truffle ravioli, squab roulade, scallops, duck a l’orange, apple-cheddar galette, blackberry clafoutis, and chocolate caramel truffles. Seatings run from 6-9 pm and tickets are $105. The price includes five courses with bubbly, wine, aperitif, and coffee. Call 817-624-9712.

Snuffer's is offering a limited-run dish of German mini bratwursts, which you can mix-and-match with toppings that include: chili and cheddar, mushroom and Swiss, Chicago style (diced tomatoes, pickles, giardiniera peppers, and red onions), and Texas style (queso, pico de gallo, and jalapeño relish). Choose any two with a side of fries for $6 or three with fries for $7.50. The bratwursts will be available through January 31.

Urban Donut in Uptown Dallas, best known for its "design-your-own" doughnut bar, is selling kolaches like hotcakes.

Varieties include one with sausage, jalapeño, and cheese.

Starbucks has a new espresso, the first addition to its core espresso line in more than 40 years. Called Blonde Espresso, it observes a lighter approach with a bright taste, sweet citrus notes, and smooth body.

You can now order any espresso beverage with choice of regular espresso or blonde. The company has offered a second espresso option in select international markets since 2013, including the debut of blonde espresso in Canada in 2017.
