    Joule adds downtown Dallas bakery-cafe with butcher and artisan breads

    At long last, Dallas Design District restaurant Sassetta is fulfilling its original mission of being an "all-day cafe" and going the full nine yards by opening for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    This means it's open all day, every day, from 8 am-10 pm Sundays-Thursdays, and 8 am-11 pm Fridays and Saturdays. All the hours!

    This means you can now stop in for a café-style breakfast, working lunch, early-afternoon cocktail, or festive night out. All the meals!

    Owned and operated by Joule Dallas hotel owner Headington Companies, Sassetta is a European-inspired Italian eatery with pasta, pizza, house-cured meats, seafood, Italian cocktails, and wine. It's part of a trio of restaurants at the corner of Oak Lawn and Hi Line Drive, along with siblings Wheelhouse restaurant and Go Go, a market opening soon.

    In its new role as an all-day café, Sassetta will incorporate a coffee bar, topped each morning with pastries, and manned by baristas serving Counter Culture Coffee, the nationally-known specialty coffee roaster from Durham, North Carolina.

    The breakfast menu includes house-made granola and yogurt alongside toasted brioche topped with ricotta, seasonal jam, and burnt honey; a chicken sausage egg sandwich on focaccia bread; and a roasted mushroom-, spinach-, and fontina-stuffed frittata.

    The lunch menu features all the dinner favorites – freshly made semolina pasta and signature wood-fired pizzas – in addition to Italian sandwiches that range from chicken parmesan and caprese to tuna conserva topped with arugula, roasted bell pepper, and black olive aioli.

    Artisanal bread, pastries, and specialty desserts are made daily by pastry chefs Sarah Green and Ruben Torano at Commissary, an off-site bakery and butcher shop for Headington Companies restaurants and new grab-and-go café concept opening to the public downtown this fall.

    Yes, downtown Dallas is going to get a bakery-cafe.

    Commissary will be a bakery in the heart of Dallas, located at 1217 Main St., aka the Synn building, producing artisan-style breads using high-quality heritage grains, that are all naturally leavened and by hand. They'll make breads and viennoiseries daily, meaning artisan hearth breads, sweet breads, and sandwich breads.

    Commissary will serve as the production center for Headington restaurants and hotels, and house a full butcher shop and bakery as well as a cafe/coffee shop that serves a full menu from morning to night.

    The facility will also prepare from-scratch charcuterie, ground meat, and extruded pastas. A spokesperson says there is no opening date, but that's what Headington spokespeople always say. It's definitely going to be open by the end of 2017, possibly by November.

    Downtown Dallas omakase restaurant Sauvage offers new dining twist

    A downtown Dallas restaurant famous for its high-end omakase experience is letting its hair down: Sauvage, the wood-fire omakase restaurant near the Statler Dallas hotel, has a new dining option that gives a smaller, more casual taste.

    The restaurant opened in September with a set menu featuring 16 to 18 courses — wild game, seafood, vegetables, and dessert — all cooked via grill and smoker.

    While 16 courses might sound like a lot, the omakase style features mostly small bites. However, owners Casey and Amy LaRue received feedback from diners wanting a smaller option.

    "We were getting a ton of messages from guests who want to stop by just to try one dish, a bite, or a specific pairing without committing to the full tasting — so we built something for exactly that," Casey says.

    They've introduced a new three-course "Cocktails & Bites hour" featuring three dishes, each paired with its own cocktail, served from 5–6 pm on weekdays.

    Last week’s menu consisted of:

    • dry-aged red snapper crudo with La Chinola Way, a cocktail featuring passionfruit, mezcal, lime, and ginger
    • foie gras & truffle on house-baked croissant with Pendennis Club, a gin sour with apricot liqueur bitters
    • jerk-spiced shrimp with Clarified Paper Plane, a bourbon cocktail with Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice

    The new offering continues their pattern of pairing courses with cocktails rather than wine — an approach they've embraced since opening. "Limiting pairings to wine can get boring — it so often ends up being one expensive red after another," Casey says.

    You can make a reservation on Tock, or just walk in and grab a seat.

    Caviar
    They've also added a new version of their classic omakase that can be ordered without caviar.

    "Some love having caviar integrated into the menu, but others prefer to skip it, whether for taste or dietary reasons, but still want the full value of the experience," Casey says. "With such a small counter, this put us in a strange position: do we give everyone caviar whether they want it or not, or do we remove it entirely and lose a core part of our menu?"

    Thus, a new menu without caviar, priced at $195, with an optional caviar course available for those who want it for $245.
