There have been a staggering amount of restaurant openings in Dallas already in 2023.
The latest notable debuts: An Italian steakhouse takes over the former Two Sisters Catering space in East Dallas, a Korean barbecue joint gets a rebrand in Koreatown, an upscale neighborhood restaurant quietly opens in Preston Hollow, Leela’s Wine Bar gets a new location with pizza, and a Henderson Avenue staple revamps its space and menu. To help you narrow down the best of the buzziest, we’re highlighting our favorite new Dallas restaurants and what cocktails, entrees, and appetizers to order at each spot.
Leela’s Wine Bar
2355 Olive Street, Suite 145
Dallas, TX | Map
A brand new Leela’s (a third location for the Dallas-based wine bar) just debuted in Uptown with a sleek space and a brand new food menu. From a wide array of fresh salads to seven kinds of pizzas, there’s something for everyone to enjoy with their glass of wine or craft cocktail.
Best Bites: We tried two cauliflower crust pizzas (all are served thin-crust style): The Butcher and Prosciutto. Both were wonderful and flavorful, but the former had to be my favorite with pepperoni and sweet and spicy sausage. The Lower Greenville location also offers an edited version of the new menu, probably due to its smaller space. In addition, you can build your own pie and add on a couple of sweets like chocolate chip cookies or a chocolate torte.
