Chef David Uygur's Michelin Bib Gourmand Italian in Bishop Arts: daily-made pasta, hand-cured salumi, and a wine list by sommelier Jennifer Uygur that favours small Italian producers. One of the finest Italian rooms in the American South.
Tip: The cacio e pepe and foie gras-stuffed prunes never leave the menu. Everything else is seasonal.
Michelin Bib Gourmand bistro on Knox-Henderson with James Beard Award finalist hospitality recognition. Warm room, France-and-Italy-inflected menu, and one of the most comfortable dining experiences in the city.
Tip: Bar seating is first-come first-served. The fried Castelvetrano olives with Texas pecans arrive unbidden at the start of every meal.
A Lakewood neighbourhood restaurant holding two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmands with a farm-driven menu that blends Vietnamese flavours and French technique. No attitude. Precise cooking.
Tip: The menu changes monthly. Ask the server what came in from local farms this week; the kitchen often writes one off-menu special around it.
A Michelin-listed Highland Park Italian with a wood-burning oven that produces the city's most reliably excellent pizza and a pasta programme including ravioli of Maine lobster.
Tip: The Friday lunch menu is available and far less competitive to book than dinner. The white clam pizza is non-negotiable.
The secret prix-fixe tasting room inside Revolver Taco Lounge in Deep Ellum. Eight courses built on ancient Purepecha techniques, corn imported weekly from Oaxaca, and one of the city's most ambitious tasting-menu formats outside Tatsu and Mamani.
