La Duni Latin Café

Fried plantains topped with black beans and beef are just the beginning. All the dishes at this upmarket, modern eatery have a Spanish accent, if not a specific country of origin. La Duni blends European traditions with Latin American soul.

Campisi's Egyptian Lounge
Just off Upper Greenville, this Dallas institution has a throwback mafia vibe and good, thin pizza. But more interesting are the legends and conspiracies that surrounds this place: one, that the original Campisi had ties to Jack Ruby, who killed Lee Harvey Oswald. Two, that the two ate here together the night before Kennedy was assassinated.

Zodiac
For more than 50 years, the classic downtown lunch spot for Dallas ladies who shop – and anyone else who wants to experience the tradition. Attentive waiters bustle about, soothing and pampering diners with hot consommé, popovers with strawberry butter and elegant salads. This is legit old-school Dallas, and it doesn't need to put on airs.

Bread Winners
If sipping a peach Bellini in a lush courtyard atrium is the reward for the agony of choosing what to order for brunch, then bring on the pain. Veggie Benedict or breakfast casserole? Bananas Foster waffle or raspberry cream cheese–stuffed French toast? Lunch and dinner offer similar, though less tortuous, conundrums. In a pinch, at least stop in for something decadent from the bakery counter.

Tillman's Roadhouse
A mod hunting lodge for stylish cowboys features shotguns for door handles, faux stag heads, antler chandeliers and a gorgeous log bar. With all this offbeat charm, the wink-wink comfort food – chicken-fried hanger steak, white-cheddar mac 'n' cheese, tableside s'mores – is surprisingly good.

Hunky's Old Fashioned Hamburgers
Reclaim your innocence (or at least get a damn good malt) in this throwback diner that's a far cry from those themed places where waitresses named 'Trixie' snap their gum. No, it's just an authentic neighborhood hangout with great burgers that make us nostalgic for good times in general.

Smoke
A barbecue joint that grows its own veggies and smokes its own meats gets enough street cred to claim the motto 'Raisin' Hell from Scratch.' The Northwoods-cozy dining room, featuring old barn walls and a fireplace nook, proves that ecofriendly can be drop-dead stylish.

Hattie's
Upscale Southern comfort food with a mod twist? Yes, ma'am. Dig into fried green tomatoes, low-country shrimp and grits, and pecan-crusted catfish. Amid butter-colored walls, glamazons in Louboutins get down and dirty with classic cocktails like grasshoppers and juleps.

Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse
Sonny Bryan's barbecue has been around in some form or another since 1910. Locals aren't ashamed to admit they come all the way just for the onion rings, made fresh daily with Pearl beer. There's also a branch at 2202 Inwood Rd.

Toulouse
This charming, angular cafe and bar transports us to France. Sit on the Euro-style patio and gloat over your bouillabaisse and chenin blanc at sunset as the gorgeous runners en route to the Katy Trail look on with envy.

Fearing's
Press accolades keep pouring in for chef Dean Fearing's four-star, four-dining room restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton. No need to dress up to enjoy the upscale Texas cuisine. Choose to sup in the lively open-kitchen room, a glass-enclosed conservatory, a tropical courtyard or the white-tableclothed 'gallery.'

Eno's Pizza Tavern
We like the old Adirondack chairs, the stacks of firewood and the get-your-own-mug beer club in this summer-cabin-esque neighborhood pizza joint. Oh, and the pizza's pretty wonderful, too.

Taco Loco
A fried catfish taco with avocado is $4.25, which is good, because it's 2am, the bars have just closed and you've got five bucks left. The breakfast tacos and tamales are addictive.
