Brunch and More

For Dallas' best-kept dining secret, hightail it to CityLine

CultureMap Create
Mar 2, 2017 | 2:29 pm

The mammoth mixed-use development CityLine has been creating buzz ever since it was first announced in 2013. And now that it's open, the buzz certainly hasn't stopped — especially when it comes to CityLine's restaurants. From local favorites to delicious concepts you won't find anywhere else in Dallas, CityLine is serving up meals for every appetite.

With State Farm, Children's Medical Center, Raytheon, and Texas Health Resources offices onsite, hundreds of hungry Richardson workers have already discovered CityLine for lunch. But the area isn't bound to a 9-5 weekday schedule, as evidenced by its awesome brunch, happy hour, and dinner offerings. Take advantage of the stellar parking situation (it's always free for restaurant guests) and find your new favorite eatery.

Forget the downtown and Uptown crowds and get your brunch on each Sunday from 11 am-3 pm in Richardson. Jasper's, the "gourmet backyard" restaurant developed by chef Kent Rathbun, serves up such delectable dishes as a white truffle aged gouda omelette, Gramma Minnie's fried chicken and waffles, a crabcake Benedict, rotisserie pulled pork tacos, and wood-grilled flatiron steak and eggs.

CityLine also has an easy-to-get-to location of Fernando's Mexican Cuisine, which ups the ante by serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition to such Tex-Mex favorites as chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and breakfast tacos, there are also $3.75 mimosas, Bloody Marys, screwdrivers, frozen blueberry mojitos, and margaritas (swirls, too, of course).

And it's hard not to swing by Top Pot Doughnuts & Coffee any day of the week for a "hand-forged" doughnut. More than 40 varieties to choose from presents an excellent daily challenge.

The phrase "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" is especially apt at CityLine, because its happy hours aren't limited to so strict a timeline. Several of the restaurants offer specials every single day of the week, including Tricky Fish, Good Union Bar-B-Que, and Jasper's. Some go by "the earlier, the better" when it comes to getting the party started, such as Fish City Grill and Whole Foods Market at 3 pm and Fernando's beginning at 11:30 am. Coal Vines offers free munchies to go with its drink and pizza specials and Edoko Sushi & Robata discounts its maki rolls to only $8 between 5 and 6:30 pm on weekdays.

Of the more than two dozen restaurants at CityLine, several offer a unique chance to dine local in DFW. For example, it's the only place you'll find Good Union Bar-B-Que and Tricky Fish, along with locally owned and operated outposts of Tom + Chee, Red Mango, Nestle Toll House Cafe by Chip, Fernando's, and Edoko Sushi. With new tenants being announced all the time, there's always a new favorite just waiting to be discovered at CityLine.

Michelin planning

Michelin Guide sets date for 2026 Texas restaurant selections

Restaurant rating organization the Michelin Guide will reveal the third edition of its Texas selections on October 8, the organization announced.

The 2026 list of restaurants will come via press release this year, and not in an elaborate ceremony that draw chefs and restaurateurs from across the state - a big change from the fanfare that accompanied the 2024 and 2025 selections.

Michelin employs anonymous inspectors to evaluate restaurants on five criteria: product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu. Based on that, they may recognize restaurants with one of three designations:

  • Michelin stars, rated at one, two, or three for restaurants that offer exceptional experiences
  • Bib Gourmand, described as “restaurants that offer great quality food at good prices”
  • Recommended for good restaurants that don’t quite meet the level of either a star or Bib Gourmand

The guide also gives out professional awards, such as service awards and sommelier awards.

Last year, Michelin added three starred restaurants statewide (including Dallas' Mamani), bringing Texas’ total to 18, along with eight new Bib Gourmands and 16 Recommended restaurants. Overall, 140 restaurants are included in the Guide.

Initially, Michelin made a three-year commitment to Texas, which was paid for in part by a $900,000 partnership with the statewide tourism organization Travel Texas and local tourism organizations in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. No announcement has been made about whether those partnership will continue, but a Michelin representative provided CultureMap with the following statement about the company’s future in Texas:

“Michelin cannot discuss the terms of its relationships for competitive reasons, although Michelin respects that partners might have disclosure agreements. It’s worth mentioning that once the Guide arrives in a destination the intent is for it to remain there. Supported by partnerships, the inspectors will continue to evaluate restaurants in the current coverage areas while keeping an eye on other locales as possible culinary hotspots for inclusion.”
