A one-two punch of flavors and concepts kicks off in the list with Sushi | Bar and its adjoining cocktail bar, Ginger’s, adding to the appeal of downtown’s East Quarter district.

2. Jaquval
312 West 7th Street
Opened: January 4, 2024
The newest addition to the thriving Bishop Arts District, Jaquval debuted this year as a European-style pub-meets-arthouse.

Their sister concept, Trades Deli, will open next door at the end of January with sandwiches, bagels, and sliced meats to-go among the options.
3. Mirador
1608 Elm Street
Opened: December 8, 2023
Nearly four years after closing, Mirador inside Forty Five Ten reopened late last year to the delight of its huge fan base.

Parmesan Tomato Soup, Orecchiette, Chicken Paillard, Farro Bowl, fan-favorite Chicken Bites, and the famously celebratory dessert, Pavlova, all make their return along with several new dishes.
4. Birdie’s Eastside
6221 E Mockingbird Lane
Opened: December 13, 2023
A former Luby’s Cafeteria becomes an entirely new neighborhood haunt with something for the entire family.

5. Columbian Country Club
3314 Ross Avenue, Suite 150
Opened: December 22, 2023
Modeled after and paying homage to one of Dallas’ historic Jewish country clubs (circa 1891!), Columbian Country Club keeps the name while updating the concept and location. It’s designed as an elegant martini and tequila lounge, complete with live piano music and a distinctive air of glamour and sophistication. Case in point: Champagne and caviar feature prominently on the menu.

Opened: January 6, 2024
JingHe Japanese Restaurant opened earlier this month near SMU with a variety of dishes inspired by a traditional Izakaya experience. The menu features barbecued meats, tapas, sake, beer, and creative cocktails, all with a modern yet decidedly Japanese twist.

Upcoming Openings
8. Bad Chicken
5104 Ross Ave, Dallas, TX 75206
Anticipated Opening Date: February 2024
Bad Chicken, a new locally owned fast-casual concept comes to East Dallas with an array of poultry dishes. Chicken nuggets, chicken wings, chicken sandwiches, and chicken sliders will be joined by a smash burger, salads, and decadent desserts (fried cheesecake egg rolls, anyone?”). Diners will have more than 20 sauces (including peanut butter and jelly) on demand for their wing orders or for nugget-dipping/sandwich-topping.
9. Metropolitan Café
2032 Main Street
Anticipated Opening Date: Winter 2024
Grabbing a quick breakfast in lunch in downtown Dallas was a huge part of The Metropolitan Café before it closed in November 2021. New owner Noemi Chiriac will resurrect the beloved café this winter with happy hour as part of the early-hours lineup. Her formerly retired mother will help in the kitchen to craft one-of-a-kind Romanian dishes and maybe a few greatest hits from the old menu.
10. North Italia
Galleria Dallas, Level 1, 13350 Dallas Parkway
Anticipated Opening Date: March 2024
The third location of North Italia joins the long list of quality restaurants at Galleria Dallas, close enough to the ice-skating rink to burn off those pasta calories. Creative pizzas, fresh salads, chef’s boards, cocktails, and mocktails fill the menu. Not one, but two outdoor patios (one covered) will let patrons take advantage of the typically nice weather in Dallas.
11. Nikki Greek Bistro & Lounge
5757 West Lovers Lane, Suite 101
Anticipated Opening Date: March/April 2024
The Devonshire neighborhood goes Mediterranean with the opening of Nikki Greek Bistro & Lounge this spring. Created by Lisa and Tom Georgalis, the owners and operators of The Ivy Tavern, this new concept will feature favorite family recipes, including Greek dishes not often seen in US restaurants. The Gerogalis family promises meals that please all five senses with much of the culinary inspiration left up to Executive Chef Blake Andress, whose résumé includes The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek.
12. NDA Brasserie
Inside Harwood No. 14, 2801 North Harwood Street
Anticipated Opening Date: April 2024
The Harwood District’s newest tower welcomes an American-style brasserie this spring with offerings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. NDA Brasserie promises to be a place where business deals are closed over delicious food and tempting drinks.
13. Chído Taco Lounge
7949 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 130
Anticipated Opening Date: May 5, 2024
Preston Hollow Village has been lacking a dedicated taco joint for a while now, but all that changes on Cinco de Mayo this year when Chido Taco Lounge gets a new sibling to its Frisco original. The restaurant's name translates to “cool” in English and options include street tacos with a choice of protein, Korean BBQ tacos, buffalo shrimp tacos, and fried avocado tacos in its lineup. Fresh margaritas and a massive tequila selection round out the options.
14. Ten50 BBQ
5519 West Lovers Lane
Anticipated Opening Date: Spring 2024
After celebrating its 10th year in Richardson, Ten50 BBQ owners decided it was high time to open a location in Dallas proper. Ten50 BBQ’s menu shines a big spotlight on USDA prime brisket, which takes between 10-12 hours to cook in the traditional Central Texas “low and slow” method. Make sure to start with an order of brisket or chicken Torpedoes to awaken your palate.
15. Goldie’s
9850 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 305
Anticipated Opening Date: Spring 2024
Not much is known about the menu yet for Goldie’s in East Dallas, but their Instagram teases French onion fondue along with other chef-driven options. The restaurant from owners Brandon and Brittany Hays and partner Brittani Clayton promises to be a great place for families early in the evening and romantic date nights long after sunset.
