"Bishop Arts has become a favorite neighborhood for Dallasites to explore, and this American bistro is one of the best people-watching restaurants in the area. It’s also one of the Michelin Guide’s recommended stops in town. This spring, take advantage of its menu of shareable dishes, impeccable wine list, and as many cocktails as you can handle while watching the crowds amble by in the indoor-outdoor dining area that’s set back from Davis Street. The house focaccia stuffed with seasonal vegetables inspired by a recipe from the owner’s sister is a good starter. On a recent visit, the cheese and meat plate with pickled vegetables and honey-coated notes showcased the restaurant’s seasonal best. It was also the Eater Award Winner for Best New Restaurant in 2022. Know before you go: The restaurant opened a second location in Uptown this year, so perhaps it is closer to you?" - Courtney E.
