BEST NEW RESTAURANTS IN WEST VILLAGE: NOW OPENMIDICI

New Restaurants in Dallas, TX

Just opened in the West Village is MidiCi, a Neapolitan pizza company with cooking styles of the old world, and decorative flair of the new. The center staged kitchen, known as “the heart” features wood-fired ovens, heated to nearly 1,000 degrees, to cook pizza in the original way the Italians did 300 years ago. The intense heat of the oven means lunch or dinner is ready in only 90 seconds! MidiCi features a unique indoor fixture – a live black olive tree – nestled within the dining area. The kitchen uses all natural ingredients and it shows. A must have is the Margherita pizza; tomato, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, and a touch of basil. The flavor bursts in your mouth with each bite and leaves you wanting more. As a post-Neapolitan pizza treat, don’t miss an espresso made from The Athena; a handcrafted machine that lets you hear each drop of delicious espresso as it creates perfection in a cup – just the way it is served in Naples, Italy.

Best Places to Eat in Uptown Dallas: Baboush

Baboush

This award-winning Moroccan-Lebanese eatery in the West Village has been a popular place for tasty food and live entertainment since opening almost seven years ago. Its intimate interior, styled after the markets of Morocco, makes it the perfect place for a dinner with friends or a first date night. This restaurant is a hot place to go in the evening, so reservations are recommended for dinner. Generally, lunchtime is less busy, but it never hurts to call and make sure. You wouldn’t want to miss this mouth-watering food because you can’t get a table!

Favorite Appetizer: Spread Platter to Share

This appetizer at Baboush follows the same theory as Food Tours of America: why limit yourself? Instead of ordering one of their tasty spreads, this platter to share allows you to try all three! These are a creamy (and vegan!) garbanzo bean hummus, a refreshing Moroccan sweet tomato spread with orange blossom water and cinnamon, and a pomegranate babaganoush, where grilled eggplant makes the perfect base for jalapeño, lemon juice, pomegranate, and more. Ample amounts of fresh pita bread make this appetizer easy to devour and enjoy.

Favorite Main Dish: Chicken Shawerma Hummus

Shawerma is a method of preparing meat in Middle Eastern cuisine, and it’s a method that’s done perfectly in Baboush’s chicken shawerma hummus. The chicken maintains its moisture and flavor due to marinating in Lebanese spices, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil before being roasted on a spit. After cooking and slicing it, the chicken is served on a bed of hummus and topped with pickles and pine nuts. Juicy and rich, this shawerma is excellent spooned onto pita or eaten with a fork right off of the plate!

Favorite Drink: Pine-Cardamom Martini

Although Baboush has a traditional full bar, they also offer a number of signature cocktails meant to pair perfectly with their Moroccan-Lebanese food. One interesting drink is their pine-cardamom. This simple cocktail, akin to a martini, is only one liquid: vodka. The vodka is infused with roasted pineapple and charred cardamom, a process that traditionally lasts from one to two days. This is a strong drink, but one that perfectly complements the flavors of Baboush’s fabulous cuisine. 

Dallas Restaurant Guide: Pecan Lodge

Pecan Lodge

Pecan Lodge, located in Deep Ellum, one of Dallas’ most historic and vibrant neighborhoods, is the #1 most awarded barbecue joint in the city. They use old-school family recipes and the freshest ingredients, making everything from scratch, from the meat smoked in their BBQ pit burning 24 hours a day to their huge list of traditional sides. Be warned, Pecan Lodge is only open during lunch hours Tuesday-Thursday, and the line is looooong for their Firday and Saturday dinners. But once the first bite hits your mouth, you’ll know why the line is so long and you’ll be glad you waited!

Favorite Main Dish: The “Pitmaster” Sandwich

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the main dishes here at Pecan Lodge. They’re all cooked in their amazing BBQ pit and smothered in delectable spices and sauces. But if you’re indecisive, the “Pitmaster” is the sandwich for you. Brisket, pulled pork, and sausage all get in this sandwich and are then topped with slaw, bbq sauce, and fresh jalapeños. This sandwich has it all: tender meat, spice, sweetness, and the need for a big napkin once you’re all done!

Favorite Side: Mac ‘N Cheese

Now most of us have eaten a lot of mac ‘n cheese in our lives, but we haven’t all had mac ‘n cheese like Pecan Lodge does it. This gooey, salty deliciousness is the perfect complement to any juicy barbecued main dish. They offer their sides in singles, pints, or quarts, and even though the quart is probably meant for groups, nobody could judge you for ordering a quart of this mac ‘n cheese and taking it home to eat with every meal. But it’s going to taste best when eaten with Pecan Lodge BBQ and a big group of friends.

Uptown Dallas Restaurants: RJ Mexican Cantina

Rj Mexican Cantina

It probably goes without saying that there’s tons of Mexican joints in Dallas, but if you want fresh food for with something for everyone surrounded by beautiful history, Rj Mexican Cantina is the place to go. Opened in the West End Historic District in 2004, Rj offers a wide variety of food with a Mexican twist. They are known for their fajitas that come out from the kitchen sizzling. Every bite you eat at Rj will be complex and dynamic, freshly prepared and carefully crafted, and ready for you to dig right in!

Favorite Appetizer: Guacamole

Guacamole is best when it’s made fresh with fresh ingredients. Rj realizes this, and so that’s exactly the way they make it. This avocado-based dip has a hint of spice and a ton of flavor. Rj’s chips are also the perfect serving method for this guac; they are lightly salty and have just the right amount of crisp, but they’re strong enough to hold a big scoop of this delightful guacamole!

Favorite Main Dish: Chimichanga

The list of favorite main dishes at Rj is a long one, but this chimichanga is definitely at the top. Filled with picadillio beef, Oaxaca cheese, and mushroom ragout, this stuffed and fried tortilla is rich and flavorful. But if those fillings aren’t succulent enough for you, the chimichanga is smothered with their housemade queso, chile con carne, and fresh avocado. A chimichanga at Rj will definitely not leave you hungry, but it will definitely leave you happy!

Favorite Drink: Margarita On The Rocks

Margaritas are basically a staple drink in Texas. We drink them so often we barely think about it anymore. But the margarita on the rocks at Rj is good enough to make you take notice! A perfect addition to any meal, or even outstanding on its own (they have $5 margaritas during their SEVEN HOUR long happy hour!), this margarita is a must-have. ¡Salud!

 Fun Places to Eat in Dallas, Texas: Tillman's Roadhouse

Tillman’s Roadhouse

Tillman’s started out in 1992 as Tillman’s Corner, opened by husband and wife team Ricky and Sara. Ever since then, this Bishop Arts restaurant has attracted diners with its inviting vibe and modern twist on Texas comfort food. With a large menu of dinner items, a fantastic brunch, and an extensive list of cocktails, Tillman’s Roadhouse is a place where everyone can get together. Whether you want to eat a steak or a salad or just enjoy some shared plates with family and friends, you can head to Bishop Arts and visit Tillman’s!

Favorite Main Dish: Clementine Barbecue River Salmon

One of executive chef’s Michael Morabito signature dishes, this salmon packs a ton of flavor into a lighter dish. A fresh cut of river salmon comes topped with a caramel apple slaw and a crème fraiche, all placed on a sweet onion latke. The slaw and crème fraiche create a light glaze on the fish, giving it many dimensions while still letting the flavor of the fish sign through. The latke gives the dish a unique texture as well as a unique taste, bringing all the elements together to make one great elevated comfort food.

Favorite Dessert: Tableside S’mores

When you think of a dessert that evokes a memory, s’mores come to mind immediately. Sitting around the campfire, singing, laughing, and making a mess, s’mores are not only very tasty but are also the ultimate in joy and comfort. Tillman’s tableside s’mores take all the elements of classic s’mores and raise them up another level, with two types of marshmallows, cinnamon graham crackers, and dark chocolate squares. This dessert will not only go down sweet and smooth, it won’t help but make you smile. Come with a group of people you’d love to sit around the campfire with, and instead sit around the table and enjoy all Tillman’s has to offer.

Best Restaurants in Dallas: Shell ShackShell Shack

This seafood joint, which started in Uptown before becoming so popular it franchised to Plano, Mesquite, and Arlington, is known for its late-night hours, variety of market seafood, and its famous hand-washing station. The hand-washing station, which is like a car wash for your hands, is necessary when you dive into their super messy but equally tasty crab, shrimp, and crawfish, because Shell Shack makes you work for your meal: you have to de-shell or peel it yourself! Shell Shack doesn’t accept reservations or call-aheads, and it’s a busy place most evenings and weekends, so be prepared to wait, but know your wait will be worth it.

Favorite Main Dish: The Kitchen Sink Boiled Shrimp

What makes Shell Shack’s shrimp unique is that they boil it in their marinade. After boiling, it comes to the table in a big plastic bag, where shrimp and marinade alike are given one last toss and poured into a tray on the table. Then, it’s time to dig in! There are few individual marinades, but the kitchen sink marinade allows you to try them all. It combines lemon pepper, garlic, and Cajun for shrimp that is a little spicy, a little sweet, and a lot delicious.

Favorite Drink: Firemans #4

Shell Shack has a number of beers on tap, but the most special is Firemans #4 Blonde Ale from Real Ale Brewing Co. What makes this beer stand out is that, in addition to the brewing company’s recommendation that you drink it with shrimp, it’s brewed right here in Texas! This light beer from Blanco has a good balance of malt and hops, making it extra refreshing and the perfect complement to a meal with a little spice. Order one right when you arrive and try it without any food, then order another with your meal and see what a difference it makes in the taste of the beer and your shrimp!

Best Restaurants in West Village, Dallas

The Rustic

With its light-up signs and giant backyard, The Rustic in the is hard to miss when going through the West Village. But while many know it as a great music venue and bar, not everyone realizes that the food they serve there is all farm-to-table and all fantastic. The Rustic’s dedication to freshness is evident in every dish, but that doesn’t mean that a lot of the food isn’t also deep-fried and smothered in cheese! Because of the massive size of this eatery, usually reservations aren’t necessary, but it can get awfully busy on evenings and during their weekend Jam and Toast brunch. Know that when you go, you might be dealing with some noise, but you’ll also be eating some fabulous food.

Favorite Appetizer: Cactus Fritters

Yes, you read that right. It says cactus. Yes, the things with the prickles. But don’t worry, the prickles have been removed, the heart of the cactus has been battered in beer, and it’s all been deep-fried before being served up to you. This dish is served with a house-made spicy ketchup, making this appetizer beer-y and spicy and vinegary and fantastic. Cactus is an unexpected choice, for sure, but once you take a bite, you’ll be glad you chose it.

Favorite Dessert: Peanut Butter Pie

The Rustic is unique in Dallas because it works to retain a lot of its Texan, country feel, and one way it does this is with its portion sizes. This pie is no exception, with a slice larger than a baby’s head. The base is a chocolate crumb crust, and then there’s a thick layer of dark chocolate fudge. The tallest, thickest layer is a peanut butter mousse, and it’s all topped off with a hot fudge drizzle and peanuts. If you’re in the mood for something rich, sweet, salty, and decadent, this is the dessert for you. But you might want to share it with another person, since it’s so huge. Or maybe you don’t want to share because it’s so darn tasty!

Beat The Heat With These Sweet Treats https://foodtoursofamerica.com/beat-the-heat-with-these-sweet-treats/ Fri, 12 May 2017 17:42:30 +0000 https://foodtoursofamerica.com/dallas/?p=17748 It’s early May, and in Texas, we know what that means: summer is just a couple weeks away. Now, summer doesn’t technically start until June 20, but the way the weather goes in Dallas, you’d never know it!

 

Luckily, there’s a huge variety of places in Dallas where you can find a cool refreshment on a hot summer day. So arm yourself with this list and be ready to face those 100° days with tasty treats to beat the summer heat.

 

  1. Concretes at Shake Shack

 

Shake Shack opened in Uptown in August 2016 to much excitement, having been an extremely popular burger chain in the Northeast since its opening in 2004. And while the burgers and fries are good, the name tells you what they’re really about: frozen treats. The shakes are decidedly awesome, but we’re suckers for their Concretes, frozen custard with a variety of mix-ins, including a design your own option! Adding these mix-ins, which are anything but average (one’s a slice of Emporium Pie!), makes this icy delight extra sweet and extra fun.

 

Shake Shack, 2500 N Pearl St

 

  1. White Shake (Smoothie) at Brewed+Pressed

     

Sometimes you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, but you want to keep things on the healthier side. Enter the white shake from Brewed+Pressed. The white shake is actually a smoothie, its coldness coming from activated almond milk and frozen bananas rather than ice cream. With healthy superfood ingredients like taos and maca, this smoothie/shake is surprisingly delicious. Plus, you get to see it made on the spot by friendly baristas, so you know it’s going to be fresh. This white shake is on the pricey side, so it may not be an everyday indulgence. But if you want to enjoy something cool and refreshing, and feel healthy about it, stop in to Brewed+Pressed and grab a white shake.  

 

Brewed+Pressed, 3700 McKinney Avenue, Suite 108

  1. Rimy Rita at The Rustic

 

This drink is an exclusively adult way to beat the heat! The base of this cocktail is a frozen margarita, but that’s only the first round of icy coolness this drink is going to bring you. In the margarita, the wonderful bartenders of The Rustic sneak in a sangria popsicle. That’s right, frozen sangria. In a margarita. With other liqueurs mixed in. This drink will definitely cool you down, but if you have too many it may knock you down too! So head over to The Rustic with some friends, listen to nightly live music, and indulge in your summer escape responsibly.

 

The Rustic, 3656 Howell St

 

  1. Popsicles at Steel City Pops

There’s something nostalgic about popsicles but Steel City Pops aren’t your ice cream truck popsicles! With a variety of flavors split into three categories: fruity, creamy, and cookie pops these popsicles are small-batch, organic, sweetened with only cane sugar, and made with absolutely nothing fake. They also have unique seasonal flavors, so head down with a big group and make some new memories this summer!

 

Steel City Pops, 2012 Greenville Ave

 

  1. Ice Cream Sandwich at Coolhaus

 

No visit to Uptown is complete without a trip down to Klyde Warren Park. And if you’re in the park in the summer, a cold treat is practically a must. Thankfully, on food truck days, there’s Coolhaus. This mobile ice cream truck dishes up some super unique flavors like balsamic fig and mascarpone. They also serve fresh-baked cookies, creating the perfect opportunity for a sophisticated ice cream sandwich! Try one of their recommended flavor combos or create your own. Coolhaus’ ice cream sandwiches will cool you down  unlike anything else, so slather on the SPF (eating ice cream may be refreshing but it can’t protect you from the Texas sun) and enjoy a sandwich and some sunshine!

 

Klyde Warren Park, 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Suite 403 (check website for truck availability)

Go Green! Your Guide To Traveling Dallas By Foot & Trolley https://foodtoursofamerica.com/go-green-guide-traveling-dallas-foot-trolley/ Tue, 25 Apr 2017 00:59:40 +0000 https://foodtoursofamerica.com/dallas/?p=17705 If you thought Earth Day was great, you’re in luck – this year, the whole month of April is Earth Month! And what better way to celebrate than by giving our lovely planet a break? If you’re looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint this month, check out some great ways to have fun and give back with this list of things to do in Dallas that are easily accessible by foot or trolley. Leave the car keys behind, get outside, and take a deep breath of fresh, Dallas air!

 

The M-Line Trolley is a great way to get around without having to hop in a car. There are plenty of stops on the route that you can hop off and check out, then hop back on to get to more.

 

The roundabout stop at City Place is a great place to start, super close to many restaurants and shops in the West Village. Have a famous Margarita at Tacos And Tequila, catch an independent film at the Magnolia, shop to your heart’s desire at the countless boutiques, or grab a bite at one of the many other restaurants.

 

Hop back on the trolley to the Dallas Arts District, which features many restaurants, as well as the Winspear Opera House and Meyerson Symphony Center. From there, walk or hop on the trolley again to Klyde Warren Park, Dallas’ newest outdoor space. Featuring food trucks, restaurants, games, and seating, it’s the perfect place to unwind with a cold drink or quick bite.

 

Once you’re down perusing the park, head on over to the Dallas Museum of Art, right across the street. And directly adjacent lies the Nasher Sculpture Center, just two of many art museums in the city.

 

Artsy’d out? Hop back on the trolley to the West End Station, where you’ll discover plenty of walkable restaurants and great souvenir shops. (Did somebody say “cowboy boots”?) Check out a concert or basketball or hockey game at the American Airlines Center, or grab a couple cold ones at Dallas’s own Hard Rock Cafe.

 

Ready to roll? (or walk?) Get moving, and check the trolley schedule here. The trolley runs 365 days a week, and operating hours are Mondays through Thursdays from 7 a.m. to

10 p.m., Fridays 7 a.m. to midnight, Saturdays 10 a.m. to midnight, Sundays and holidays 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

We love this cute, little clothing shop! This is a favorite place for new clothes for sure. If you appreciate items that were made in America, then this is the place for you. Their clothes are cute, unique, made in America, and everything in the store is reasonably priced.
The women working at Pitaya are very helpful and friendly to their customers. They’re probably used to a crowd of locals and travelers stopping in on a Friday or Saturday for a last minute find. Ladies tend to go straight here when they want something pretty to wear since Pitaya never disappoints. They always have a nice selection of clothes. This swanky clothing boutique likes to stick to solid colors and their color coordinated racks are very pleasing to the eyes. However, what’s even more pleasing are the refreshing price tags.
