"Sachet sits in an affluent strip mall just a stone’s throw from one of Dallas’s busiest entertainment districts in Oak Lawn, but the ocean feels nearby. This is a trip up and down both sides of the Mediterranean coast, with a cross-cultural menu that offers chicken shawarma and chicken cooked under a brick. There are excellent pastas, too, like the tube-shaped casarecce in a sharp, spicy tomato sauce heaped with a cloud of burrata. Tartare and crudo dishes are shooting stars in whatever form they show up in, usually zapped with mint or bathing in a bell pepper puree. The bar doubles as a somewhat fancy night out, whether spicy olives and a gin martini are a nightcap or a springboard to the nearby clubs." - rosin saez, nick rallo, kevin gray, kevin gray, kevin gray, rosin saez, nick rallo, nick rallo, rosin saez, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, rosin saez, nick rallo, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo
"Citrus-pressed yogurt sounds like an unlikely option for a best desserts in Dallas trail, but this recipe just works. It’s great without being overly sweet, not heavy at all, and highly shareable. The idea is that yogurt gets pressed with citrus and strained, until it fuses. The dish comes topped with a grape compote and a sweetly floral lavender shortbread crumble. After a big meal of Mediterranean fare, this dish is a light way to finish the night. Have the yogurt with a glass of port (ask your sommelier for a recommendation) and a long, lingering moment at the table." - Courtney E. Smith

"This is one of the top Mediterranean restaurants in DFW. Since its Michelin recognition, it has been revving up service and adjusting its menu with the quiet goal of going from recommended to star-worthy. Sachet has contemporary decor and envy-worthy teal tiles around the free-standing bar. It serves lunch and dinner, with many standout dishes: A lunch favorite is the falafel sandwich with herby tahini served on a wood-oven-warmed pita. Dinner go-tos include eggplant schnitzel, grilled lamb chops, freshly made campanelle pasta with Turkish lamb ragu, and stuffed piquillo peppers with spicy baba ganoush." - Courtney E. Smith
"Also beautifully stretching the boundaries of what constitutes a salad (we’re calling it one if you agree or not) are all the bowls on the lunch menu at Sachet. This salmon “salady bowl” is a favorite, featuring haricots verts, tomatoes, soft-boiled potatoes, olives, capers, and a farm egg. There’s a good mix of softness and crunch in the bowl and a wholeness to its composition." - Courtney E. Smith
