CBD Provisions in the Joule Hotel serves up inventive Texan comfort food and craft cocktails in a vibrant, chic atmosphere that's hard to beat.
"For the holidays, ordering appetizers was a must. At CBD Provisions, the Texas charcuterie board scratched that itch. It is loaded with house-made sausage and bread, hot soppressata, various kinds of cheese, chicken liver mousse, and the best pickles you’ll find downtown. Not pictured is the filet au Poivre ordered for the main, which scratched the itch for steak with a stunningly good sauce. Many thanks to our waiter, who talked us into the banana pudding — despite being full, we ate it all." - Courtney E. Smith
"This gem at the Joule does far more than serve the hotel's own guests with a tight, well-edited menu of exactly what we all want at every meal: In the morning, it’s the frittata; at lunch, it’s a healthy quinoa bowl; and at dinner, it’s pretty much anything that can be served with a side of their award-winning fries. Beyond feeding the hotel’s guests—and from very early in the morning until very late—it stands as one the best casual dining destinations in Dallas. "
"Downtown’s Joule Hotel will lose its lead chef at CBD Provisions when Nick Walker makes the move to the sleek new Virgin Hotel in the Design District later this year." - Alaena Hostetter
"Home to one of Dallas’s most famous dishes, the pig head carnitas at CBD Provisions are not to be missed. Call in advance (24 hours is recommended) to ensure that one of the tender, Instagram-worthy pig heads will be on offer, and get ready to tuck that succulent pulled meat into soft tortillas and slather it with salsa." - Amy McCarthy
"It’s hard to find a misstep at CBD Provisions. While the menu offerings rotate seasonally, anything called “salad” here is a sure fire bet. The delicate leaves of the little gem lettuce are light and crispy, and this season, CBD tops them with lumb crab and cornbread croutons on the dinner menu. For a lunch option the kale, sprouts, and broccoli, topped with lemon-agave dressing is healthy and delish. Or go with a chopped salad featuring blue cheese, ranch dressing, and fried chicken for an extra indulgence." - Alaena Hostetter, Rachel Pinn
