Dallas offers a tremendous choice of restaurants for those who enjoy eating out. Many of the less expensive of Dallas's five thousand restaurants are concentrated in Lower Greenville Avenue , which runs northeast of downtown, parallel to I-75, and trendier Deep Ellum , where the excellent New American cuisine is reasonably priced. Below is a sample of the cuisine on offer. Café Brasil 2815 Elm St. Open 24hr on weekends with great omelets, crepes and enchiladas. Deep Ellum Café 2706 Elm St. The first restaurant in the area and still the benchmark for the rest. Very popular, serving delicious, casual food (think waffles, crepes, sandwiches) for around $10. Open until 2am on Fri and Sat. Firehouse 1928 Greenville Ave. Inventive (if a bit pricey) menu - think antelope tenderloin - smack in the middle of Lower Greenville. The French Room The Adolphus 1321 Commerce St. Perhaps the best restaurant in the state, with prices to match the top-notch French food and exquisite decor (hand-blown crystal chandeliers, marble floors and so on). Gloria's 600 W Davis St. Catfish ceviche, hot banana-leaf tamales and other low-priced, top-quality El Salvadorean dishes. Mia's 4322 Lemmon Ave. A family-run Mexican restaurant, a favorite with the Dallas Cowboys. Monica's Aca y Alla 2914 Main St. Wood-grilled nouvelle Mexican food, with dashes of Mediterranean and Asian influences, in a Deep Ellum hot spot jumping with live salsa and mambo on weekends. Samba Room 4514 Travis Walk. Sexy, Cuban-themed space with fabulous mojitos and a beautiful patio. Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse 2202 Inwood Rd. The original location - it still looks like a shack - of a favorite local barbecue chain, but get there in good time as the meat can be all snapped up by early afternoon. |
