    This round of Dallas dining news is perfect for early February: It's a little lite. It's a diet version of restaurant news. There's a new liquor store in Victory Park, doughnuts in DeSoto, and brunch. There is always room for brunch.

     

    Here's what's happening in Dallas restaurant news:

     

     Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins will host a grand opening on February 2 of a new restaurant in DeSoto, at 834 N Hampton Rd. The new restaurant will offer DeSoto guests a first look at the brand’s U.S. store of the future experience, with a modern atmosphere and new innovative technologies and design elements to make running on Dunkin’ faster and more convenient than ever before. The new location will be open 5 am-10 pm, and will also feature a drive-thru window. Mak Kurani of DFW Donuts LLC is Dunkin’s franchisee for the restaurant and currently operates two Dunkin’s across Texas.

     

     Biagio Wine & Spirits, a liquor store, has opened in Victory Park, at 2404 Victory Park Ln. The items for sale listed on their website include a $585 bottle of tequila.

     

     Saltgrass Steak House opened a location in The Colony, at 5899 SH 121, its 80th restaurant and the 17th in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Saltgrass is famous for its Angus steaks, char-grilled on an open flame, seasoned with Saltgrass-7 steak spice and topped with fresh garlic butter. Each morning, the restaurant bakes complimentary Texas Bock beer-bread, as well as desserts made from scratch.

     

     Sea Breeze Lobsta & Chowda House, one of the most popular stalls at Legacy Food Hall, will move to a new location on the first floor, adjacent to John Tesar’s Knife Burger. As a part of the move, the restaurant will also offer new offerings such as a trio of melts with lobster & basil, crab & sundried tomato, and smoked salmon. There's also new Buffalo fried shrimp, and the popular "chowda fries" — French fries topped with a scoop of delicious clam chowder — formally join the menu.

     

     Tacodeli, the imported Austin taqueria, has new specials available for a limited time: Cauliflower veg chorizo is a breakfast taco with riced cauliflower, walnuts, pecans, and pistachios with Tacodeli’s chorizo seasoning. It is vegan-friendly and contains no soy, and it sounds absolutely amazing. The chorizo is available as an add-on for any breakfast taco or a Build Your Own option at breakfast. For lunch, there is chipotle sweet potato soup — made with Thomas Kindle Sweet Potatoes from Grand Saline, Texas — blended with spicy chipotles and cream. The soup is garnished with pork belly, jack cheese, and cilantro; vegetarians can request the soup without pork belly.

     

     Hudson House debuts a new weekend brunch menu with a heavy dose of New York influence. Dishes include the Hudson Tower, a three-tiered tower with bagels and lox; selections include plain, gluten-free, sesame, and everything bagels; cream cheese, tomato, cucumber, onion, and capers; gravlax, cold smoked lox, smoked whitefish, smoked trout, or lobster. Velvet Chicken & Waffles have a red velvet Belgian waffle and double fried chicken. Pastrami & eggs has Wagyu pastrami and whole egg frittata. Cocktails include a bloody Mary with bleu cheese-stuffed olives, shrimp cocktail, and shucked oyster; and "Mom's cure with vodka, orange juice, and ginger beer.

     

     Meso Maya at the west Plano location has these new dishes: chicken tamales, kale verde salad with avocado, diced pineapple, orange, radish, and golden raisins. Budin Azteca has white corn tortillas layered with cheese; pavo & Hongos enchiladas have turkey, mushrooms, poblanos, onions, chihuahua, and Monterey jack cheese. There's carne asada, chicken breast with gold potatoes, baby back pork ribs with potatoes, zucchini, and white rice; a chimichurri New York strip steak; mahi mahi fish tacos; and shrimp, chicken, or steak tostaditas.

     

     Bulla Gastrobar in Plano has a new limited-edition menu for winter that introduces Spanish favorites. Items include Caldo Gallego featuring chorizo, pork, and alubias, plus Chistorra a la Sidra with cured sausage enhanced by cider. Dessert includes rice pudding with golden raisin coulis and Swiss meringue crumbles.

     

     Scout, located in the Statler, is introducing a new weekend brunch with eggs and omelets, waffles, a carving station, a taco bar, salad station with cheese, fruit, yogurt and granola options, bananas Foster station, and a kid's station. It's $25, or $10 for 12 and under. Build-your-own bloody Mary and mimosa bars are an additional $8.

     

     Twin Peaks has an extensive new beverage menu with more than 30 new options, including cocktails, shots, new categories, and on-trend liquors.

     

     Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar, the classic American neighborhood restaurant known for its farm-to-kitchen menu, has a new collection of custom cocktails for winter. Sweater Weather has rye whiskey, Amaro Ramazzotti liqueur, house-made clove syrup, and mole bitters; Bourbon, Spice & Everything Nice has Old Forester Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez Sherry (PX Sherry), lemon juice, spiced pear cordial, and Angostura bitters.

     

     Tricky Fish has new boxed lunches, Monday-Thursday from 11 am-3 pm, for $10. Daily offerings include fried shrimp or fried catfish po’boy, chicken salad with a cup of gumbo, chicken sandwich with ham, bacon & provolone cheese, and lemon pepper shrimp tacos. These tackle boxes are available only at the CityLine location. 972-437-3474.

    The July edition of Where to eat, CultureMap Dallas' monthly column of the hottest restaurants, has an exciting range of cuisines and locations: from a new bistro in McKinney to an impressive Indian restaurant in Coppell to a downtown Dallas cafe to a mom-and-pop taqueria in Oak Cliff.

    Here's where to eat in Dallas right now:

    Boxed and Brewed
    Downtown Dallas cafe from Boxwood Hospitality features boxed lunches, breakfast sandwiches, croissants, and breakfast tacos. They do it gourmet style with offerings such as a curried veggie goat cheese wrap, Mediterranean chicken sandwich, and Greek salad. They're open in the U.S. Post Office at 400 N. Ervay St. during classic downtown worker hours: Monday-Friday for breakfast and lunch.

    Centro on the Square
    Italian bistro from acclaimed restaurateurs George Stergios (Knife Steakhouse Plano) and Brian Dunne (Mexican Bar Company) has made its long-awaited debut on McKinney’s downtown square in the former Harvest space (which relocated in 2023). The menu features hearty Italian-American dishes like chicken meatballs, mussels, cacio e pepe pasta, short rib ravioli, chicken marsala, soups, and salads. They also served grilled items including salmon, red fish, and chicken.

    Donde los Tacos
    Small taco shop in Oak Cliff in a former gas station is a mom-and-pop from first-time restaurant owners Martin and Jennifer Reyes who are putting lots of love into this small, cozy spot. Their tacos include trompo marinated pork, chicken, chorizo, fried shrimp, a slow-simmered beef called suadero, a ribeye taco, and a vegetarian taco made with plant-based protein. Appetizers include guacamole & chips, queso, and Mexican street corn. The majority of their tacos are $3 but on Tuesdays, they offer a $2 taco deal.

    Ella
    American bistro in the old Chido Taco Lounge space brings elevated eats to Preston Hollow Village. The concept is from Chido Taco Lounge founder Blaine McGowan and executive chef Kyle Farr, with Michelin-awarded Julian Shaffer leading the bar program. Their menu features shrimp and masa dumplings, pork cheeks, steak frites, and sides like broccolini and truffle fries.

    Flamant
    European cocktail bar and bistro that cooks over an open flame is now open at the Boardwalk at Granite Park in Plano. The restaurant is from acclaimed restaurant team Tanner Agar and Taylor Rause, and is a sibling restaurant to award-winning restaurants Rye and Apothecary. The menu features flavors from Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy with dishes such as faux gras, pasta, wood fired Wagyu burger, and pepperoncini chicken. They also offer weekend brunch with frittata and cannoli French toast.

    Frenchie
    French concept from Travis Street Hospitality (Le PasSage, Georgie) recently opened in the former Corner Bakery at Preston Center Plaza, which closed after 23 years in 2022. The restaurant is a French brasserie, serving casual lunch and dinner. There are dishes such as crepes, quiches, oysters, steak frites, and onion soup.

    Mas Chingon
    Sports bar and restaurant with a lively atmosphere recently opened in Bishop Arts dishing out Latin vibes and a Mexican-Latin menu. Standout dishes include tacos, Mexican burger, al pastor burger with both a beef patty and al pastor, elote coated in Hot Cheetos dust, and ceviche. They also do bar food such as a burger, chicken wings, and an over-the-top $350 Cowboy steak.

    The PoBoy Shop
    Sandwich shop obsessed with po’boys is a spin-off of Evan’s Meat Market now open in Preston Center. Founder Evan Meagher is drawing on his Louisiana roots on po’boys and sandwiches such as fried shrimp, fried bologna, turkey, and pastrami, available in 4-inch and 8 inch sizes with Cajun sides such as dirty curly fries topped with grilled boudin or Zapp’s Potato Chips.

    Ruthie's Cafe
    Do-gooder cafe that started out as a food truck is bringing new life to South Dallas. They serve grilled cheese sandwiches — solo or with tomato tomato soup — including one stuffed with brisket. There's also breakfast including sandiwches, a power bowl, and a chicken sausage & bacon wrap. They just added a coffee bar, in response to customer demand, with creative espresso drinks such as Nutella latte, Horchata, and Matcha latte.

    Silk Road Indian
    Indian concept from a hospitality trio recently opened in Coppell. The restaurant comes from Prinu Prasannan, Sushil Kumar, and Sreekumar Madolil, who have roots in the Kerala state in India but met in Dallas. They serve a range of vegetarian dishes such as vegetable samosas and tikka masala. They also have non vegetarian and Indo Chinese dishes including biryani, butter chicken, fish curry, and egg curry.
