Michelin-Star Restaurants in Dallas (2025)

Dallas’ only Michelin one-star is chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi’s 10-seat omakase inside the historic Continental Gin Building. Expect Edo-style precision, pristine fish, and an intimate, time-marked service admired by the Michelin Guide and praised by local critics.

Husband-and-wife owners David and Jennifer Uygur have a gem on their hands with this Bishop Arts restaurant, where David runs the kitchen and Jennifer welcomes guests with genuine warmth. The word is out, and reservations are often a feat, though they do save a few seats for walk-ins.Chef Uygur crafts a menu rooted in Italian classics that shifts with the availability of terrific Texan produce. Dishes may appear simple but don't judge them on face value alone, as everything from the Texan tomato salad to the homemade pasta hides a depth of flavor. There may be no better way to begin a meal here than by sharing a salumi board, as the kitchen cures its own meats, and the wine list features interesting bottles, including a nice representation from Italy. - Michelin Inspector

Husband-and-wife team Stephen Rogers and Allison Yoder helm this bright, seasonal American bistro. Awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, it’s known for polished comfort, thoughtful wines, and consistency lauded by D Magazine and The Dallas Morning News.

Julian Barsotti’s enduring Highland Park jewel marries wood-fired pies with deft pastas and an all-Italian wine list. Michelin’s Bib Gourmand underscores a neighborhood institution continually praised by local food writers for craft and staying power.

You could easily drive right by this standalone building tucked behind an auto repair shop, but one bite of Chef Peja Krstic's cooking and you won't soon forget the address. Inside, wood floors and exposed brick add charm to this narrow space where Serbian-born Krstic turns out contemporary cuisine with Vietnamese and French influences and decidedly Texan touches. The mashup is especially intriguing, offering an interesting journey with dishes such as steamed bao filled with beef brisket and a shallot marmalade, or crispy tempura squash blossoms filled with pork and shrimp with nuoc cham vinaigrette. For dessert, savor the coconut lemongrass panna cotta with orange marmalade and chocolate peanut crumble. - Michelin Inspector

Ngon Vietnamese Kitchen isn't just another restaurant. It's much more personal than that for owner Carol Nguyen, who wanted to share the vibrancy of her homeland's cooking with Dallas diners. From the design, with its rustic wood booths and raised tables ideal for groups, to the décor, with representations of the famous conical hats (non la) on the walls, it's clear Nguyen has put her heart and soul into this spot in the lively lower Greenville area. That same effort is seen on the menu, which was largely inspired by the street vendors of Hanoi where she grew up. Choose from a wide range of authentic dishes, including nourishing phở, flavor-packed spring rolls, and delicately spiced curries. - Michelin Inspector

The Arts District and Tei-An are a perfect fit, as this Japanese restaurant provides an elegant and cultured experience in an aesthetically striking environment. Opened back in 2008, it has also played an important role in nurturing the city’s love affair with Japanese cuisine. The menu is varied and extensive, allowing diners to decide their own level of expense and experimentation. There’s everything from tonkatsu to tempura, as well as dishes like grilled freshwater eel (which comes with its crisped spine as you’d get in Japan), but its house-made soba and udon noodles—served cold or hot—are the house specialties. They come with an array of seasonal toppings and dipping sauces, many traditional and some, like Bolognese, more original. - Michelin Inspector

Lower Greenville’s inventive small-plates spot is Michelin-recommended and earned Michelin’s Exceptional Cocktails award. Locals love the playful tasting menus, community vibe, and next-door sibling, Apothecary.

If the line wrapped around the building doesn't clue you in, you'll know you've arrived at Cattleack Barbeque when the heady scent of wood smoke drifts along in the breeze. Owner and pitmaster Andrew Castelan highlights the classics, using oak and hickory wood for his barbecued meats, which change daily. Brisket and pork ribs are must-orders, but the specials, like a pork steak or wagyu pastrami brisket, are a close second. The meat is flavorful enough on its own, but bottles of their bright and tangy sauce are on every table. Of course, no barbecue spot worth its salt shirks the sides, and here, greens and burnt end beans or street corn are two winners. When they ask if you want cornbread, the answer is always a resounding yes. - Michelin Inspector
