20 Best Restaurants in Dallas, From Tex-Mex to Vietnamese | Condé Nast Traveler
"Tucked away in the Village, a stylish pocket neighborhood north of downtown Dallas, Meridian is one-of-a-kind, serving thoughtful, high-end Brazilian dishes in a sleek environment. Executive Chef Junior Borges, a Rio de Janeiro native who honed his trade at a number of big name establishments in New York City, has married his childhood memories and culinary expertise in fine fashion; the stand out star is the rich, sweet "beach cheese" skewers, served with honey and inspired by Borges’ memories of a childhood spent on the golden sands of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Don't miss the unforgettable beef tartare served with black truffle in a folded shiso leaf, or the deliciously fresh heirloom tomato agnolotti, and you can't go wrong with a Caipirinha or one of the expert wine pairings." - David Landsel, Diana Oates, Jonathan Thompson
