rise soufflé - Dallas

"The mini cheese souffles resembling marshmallows give this cult favorite tomato and red pepper soup its name. A few years ago, the owners of Rise tried to take its popular soup off the menu. After customers threatened to riot, marshmallow soup returned." - Rachel Pinn

"There’s something pretty charming about this Francophile restaurant located in Inwood Village. As its name suggests, the specialty here is the soufflé, which they’ve totally mastered in all its forms, both savory and sweet. Each comes prettily plated on traditional French dishware, making it the kind of fanciful place you might take your daughter for a special treat. If you’re just along for the ride and not a huge fan of the dish, there are plenty of healthier, equally French-inflected options to choose from. "

"This darling bistro is about as warm and cozy as they come—it feels like you are dining in your French grandmother's countryside cabin, if you had a French grandmother with a countryside cabin. The food here is familiar and comforting. A meal usually starts with a warm baguette, and most regulars will follow that with the restaurant's famous marshmallow soup—a tomato soup with large pieces of goat cheese. Then, the big choice: sweet or savory soufflé?" - David Landsel, Diana Oates, Jonathan Thompson

"French country cozy The crowd Laid back ladies who lunch The drinks Try a French wine flight The food Sweet & savory soufflés The service Feels like family" - Diana Oates

"There’s good soup and then there’s rise nº1’s marshmallow soup. While there are quite a few savory souffle flavors to choose from, no order is complete without a bowl of this crowd-favorite fancy tomato bisque, topped with tiny cheese souffle “marshmallows”." - Allison Castloo
