Nestled in a cozy Dallas spot, Petra and the Beast serves adventurous New American dishes crafted by James Beard finalist Misti Norris, blending seasonal ingredients with a funky focus on fermentation and flavorful experimentation.
"Closed at the end of the year, chef Misti Norris expected to return with a new iteration." - Courtney E. Smith
"Known for lamb lasagnette with fennel and apple braised ragout." - Courtney E. Smith
"Adventurous eaters should plan a night out in Petra’s Lakewood location. For a more social night, ask for a few seats at the bar or go to the chef’s counter, where chatting with the folks making your meal is guaranteed. If you’ve got a big party, there’s a large table available and even a private dining room for big groups. It’s beautiful, and the menu is a work of art." - Courtney E. Smith
"Petra and the Beast, although not fitting Michelin's usual criteria for stars or Bib Gourmand, deserved recommended status or a Green Star for its innovative and sustainable practices." - Courtney E. Smith
"Plenty of restaurants in Dallas serve avocado toast and bottomless mimosas for brunch, but Petra & The Beast isn’t for such simple pleasures. It’s for out-the-box dishes like french toast topped with dill pollen, smoked redfish dip with candied hot sauce, and other things you won't find elsewhere around town. Choose your brunch companions wisely—i.e., those who appreciate fermentation, pickled vegetables, and house-cured meats. " - kevin gray
