Where to Eat

Where to eat in Dallas right now: 10 hot new restaurants for November

This month's installment of Where to Eat is bursting at the seams with newcomers and spinoffs. For November, we've got a vast range of cuisines, from Asian to seafood to the beloved Dallas staple, the Irish pub. To find many cuisines in one spot, there's also a new food-hall near downtown Dallas.

Here's where to eat in Dallas this month:

Boxcar
Train-themed restaurant recently rolled into a former laundromat on Greenville Avenue. The concept from owners Jordan Carson and Patrick Gorman features wall screens that simulate the interior of a train. The menu, crafted by chef Eric Freidline, includes a meat & cheese board, Wagyu pastrami French dip sandwich, cheddar corndog with garlic aioli, and butter croissant beignets for dessert. Cocktails have a train theme, and to really elevate the experience, all the meals are served on fine china.

Catch
Upscale seafood restaurant from Catch Hospitality recently opened in Uptown’s Maple Terrace. This is the eighth location in the U.S. From partners Tilman Fertitta, Mark Birnbaum, and Eugene Remm, the concept is known for its simple seafood menu and Wagyu program. Signature dishes include a lobster and caviar roll, mushroom spaghetti, and Cantonese lobster. They also offer sushi straight from Tokyo, Japan, such as hamachi crudo and truffle sashimi.

Dirty Birds
San Diego sports bar chain made its Texas debut in Plano's Lakeside Market shopping center, serving wings, drafts, and burgers. Wings are the standout item, boasting 37 flavors of bone-in and boneless wings, including apple bourbon chipotle, habanero lime, and teriyaki. They also offer bar snacks, such as crispy fried pickles, chicken tenders, and fried okra. As for beer, they have 16 options on tap, like the Dirty Birds IPA.

Donatos
Ohio pizza chain established in 1963 is now open in Frisco with its famous edge-to-edge pizza toppings. Introducing the brand to Texas are Ohio natives and franchisees Dr. Rico Singleton, Casey Dennis, and Cameron Hopkins. The menu features over a dozen pizzas, including hot honey pepperoni, mariachi beef, four cheese, and hot chicken on a choice of cauliflower or thin crusts. Visitors can start as small as a 7- inch pizza or go up to a 14-inch. Additionally, they offer baked wings, subs, and salads.

Empire Baking Co. - West Village
The former Bisous Bisous Patisserie in Dallas' West Village is now home to the Empire Baking Co., whose owners Robert and Meaders Ozarow took over the lease to expand their presence beyond their Lovers Lane and SMU locations. That means not only Empire's award-winning artisan breads, but grab & go sandwiches, salads, pastries, muffins, and weekly specials, too. They’re also ramping up their coffee menu at this location.

Feng Shui
Uptown Pan-Asian concept from hospitality veterans Fawn Zhao and Alan Ho is the realization of Fawn's vision to offer traditional dishes from three distinct cultures — Chinese, Japanese, and Thai — in a warm setting. The menu includes hamachi, a potato stir fry served cold, Thai-style beef jerky in sriracha sauce, and sushi rolls. A full bar includes sake, champagne, Japanese whisky, and specialty cocktails, and there's an especially robust selection of desserts, from green tea cheesecake to mini doughnuts.

Le PasSage and Rose Cafe
The Terminal at Katy Trail just welcomed two sibling restaurants: Le PasSage is an Asian-inspired concept with Cambodian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese dishes, such as green prawns with cashew, Peking duck, and winter squash. Rose Cafe is a French-Asian restaurant with quick bites, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including overnight oats, lemongrass shrimp summer rolls, cucumber-dill cream tea sandwiches, and pork shoulder bao buns.

Old Monk
After 25 years on Henderson Avenue, this revered Irish pub just opened a second location on Davis Street in Oak Cliff, in a brick building that was once F45 fitness. It has the same menu as the original location: fish & chips, mini whiskey cheddar bacon burgers, Guinness beef stew, smoked salmon sandwich, cheese boards, and lots of European and craft beers.

Scarlet Lounge & Kitchen
Deep Ellum concept just opened in the former Truth & Alibi speakeasy space where it's serving Spanish and American fare, such as Spanish risotto, flank steak with chimichurri sauce, and portobello steak until 10 pm, then segueing into a nightclub vibe. Though it's a switch from the speakeasy concept, owner Victor Garcia — a former Truth & Alibi bartender who knows the space inside-out — kept some of the original fittings including the glamorous chandeliers.

Victory Social
New food hall in Dallas' Victory Park from Hospitality Alliance recently opened with six eateries. Some of the featured concepts will ring a bell for anyone who visited AT&T's Discovery District which Hospitality Alliance previously managed, including Birdie, Rise & Thyme, Park Bistro, Itza Cocina, D'oro Italiano, and Victory Grill. The food ranges from tacos to in-house pasta to steak frites.

Spring Arrival

West Dallas gets new Spanish-Peruvian restaurant with big-name chef

Paella will be on the menu.

A new restaurant with a high-profile culinary director will bring Spanish and Peruvian flavors to West Dallas: Called Ulloa’s, it is coming to 727 Fort Worth Ave., with a projected opening in March 2027.

The concept is from philanthropists Susan and Woodrow Gandy, who were previously investors in the historic Belmont Hotel just around the corner. They've teamed up with Dallas celebrity chef Kent Rathbun as culinary director, along with Christopher Tunnell as general manager to lead the front of the house.

Rathbun is a name Dallas diners know well, with a resume that includes The Mansion on Turtle Creek, the Landmark Restaurant at the historic Melrose Hotel, Seventeen Seventeen at the Dallas Museum of Art, Abacus, Jasper's, Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen, and more. He's won numerous awards and made multiple appearances on Food Network. He was most recently behind the launch of On The Rocks, an Italian bistro in Burleson.

Tunnell’s background spans both culinary direction and front-of-house operations. He worked at Los Angeles hot spots Ketchup, Geisha House, and Les Deux, as well as the Mandalay Bay and The Mirage in Las Vegas, before moving to Dallas to open The Mexican, the upscale restaurant in the Design District.

“I am truly excited to partner with Chef Kent Rathbun, whose reputation is amazing — not only in the DFW Metroplex, but in the culinary world,” Tunnell says. “He has been with this project since the beginning, helping develop it; this will be a very chef-driven, culinary-forward restaurant.”

The team's vision for Ulloa’s is both culinary and urban, with hopes of anchoring the corridor and attracting other businesses to Fort Worth Avenue — a stretch connecting downtown Dallas with Oak Cliff that remains somewhat underdeveloped despite its panoramic skyline views.

The restaurant is named for Spanish explorer, astronomer, and scientist Antonio de Ulloa, who spent extensive time in the Mexican peninsula before becoming Louisiana’s first governor. During his travels, Ulloa documented a fogbow — a circular rainbow formed when sunlight meets mist that causes silhouettes standing between the sun and fog to appear ringed in light, a phenomenon known today as “Ulloa’s Rings.”

That vibrant phenomenon inspired both the restaurant's identity and logo. The concept promises "bold, worldly flavors in a welcoming neighborhood setting inspired by exploration and discovery,” the owners say.

While the menu remains in development, Tunnell describes the culinary direction as “Spanish soul with a Peruvian heart.” The kitchen will merge the coastal flavors of both traditions — ranging from paellas and ceviches to crafted cocktails and signature adaptations by Rathbun.

The 200-seat, two-story space will feature a downstairs dining room, a large bar, and an outdoor patio. Upstairs, plans call for a secondary bar, a private dining room, a patio, and an expansive balcony patio, offering views of the city's skyline and of the Margaret Hunt Hill and Margaret McDermott bridges.

While the upstairs space will be available for private events, the owners intend for it to operate primarily as an organic extension of the main restaurant. The buildout will include a guest elevator along with ample parking, including both self-parking and valet options.

The team says the restaurant will have have an aesthetic that's “warm, theatrical, generous, elegant but alive, with the energy of a great Spanish tapas bar and the soul of Peruvian hospitality.”

Ulloa’s plans to launch with dinner service first, followed by lunch and weekend brunch.
