Carte Blanche

"An intricate tasting menu-only restaurant with a focus on exquisite pastries." - Courtney E. Smith

"Carte Blanche, a tasting menu restaurant on Lower Greenville, announced it is closing its doors, effective immediately. All existing reservations, which are pre-paid, will be refunded. The restaurant was owned by chef Casey La Rue and baker Amy La Rue, opened in 2020. It earned five stars from Forbes’s Travel Guide in 2023 and a five diamond designation from AAA in 2022. The owners cited challenges with the location and the high costs of transitioning to a 100% bakery as reasons for their decision to sell the space." - Courtney E. Smith

"This spot is one of a few in Dallas that is tasting menu only. Diners put themselves in chef Casey La Rue’s hands to enjoy a one to two hour tasting menu dinner or a two to three Chef’s Full Tour menu with expanded options for $225 per person, with an additional fee for a wine pairing or uncorking — BYOB is allowed. It also offers a six-course menu for $125 per person or an a la carte dinner with a $25 reservation fee plus the cost of the meal." - Courtney E. Smith

"Pastry chef Amy LaRue is responsible for the incredible pastries found at Carte Blanche. Before closing to prepare the place for the nightly multi-course dinners, LaRue wakes up early to prepare some of the best croissants, donuts, and cookies in town." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
