Best Restaurants in Dallas

Our list of the Dallas area’s 50 Best Restaurants reflects the values we want to see in Dallas cooking. Integrity, seasonality, and originality take pride of place over flashy style. From Texas barbecue to Sri Lankan burritos, this is our most diverse list ever.

After a few challenging years for independent restaurants fighting to survive, it is more important than ever to celebrate the very best in Dallas cooking and eating—and to do whatever we can to honor the businesses that make our city a great place to dine.
