From brunches featuring fabulous cocktails to Tex-Mex musts, these are four of the most Insta-worthy restaurants in Dallas to spice up your feed.
Eye-catching cocktails at Harper’s include the Bye Bye Birdie made with Grey Goose Le Citron, orange liqueur, cranberry, fresh lime, lemon grass reduction and luster dust.
1. Sadelle’s
The new Dallas outpost of this Major Food Group fave is a modern ode to New York inspired by the city’s tradition of all-day dining. The eclectic menu features a lineup of photo-ready bagel towers, sliced-to-order salmon and scrumptious specialities like blueberry pancakes, crispy chicken schnitzel and coconut shrimp. Even more unique? The coffee counter and marketplace serve a range of delicacies including pastries, a rotisserie chicken program, breakfast tacos and the resto’s signature coffee blend. 1 Highland Park Village, sadelles.com/dallas

2. Alice
This trendy Dallas hot spot boasts an urban-inspired interior and an equally fabulous menu chock-full of Asian influences—think a dazzling array of sushi including the tempura-fried Alice roll with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado, cream cheese, Japanese mayo and eel sauce. Snap and sample picture-perfect house favorites like steamed buns with smoked brisket, spring rolls with shrimp and peanut sauce, and chicken pad Thai with egg and Thai chile. 1623 N.

3. Odelay
An homage to The Big D’s favorite cuisine—Tex-Mex, naturally— Odelay’s spirited menu is a thoughtful collection of tasty eats made with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. To start, try the crispy jalapenos stuffed with queso Oaxaca, cebolla and cilantro with chipotle-buttermilk dipping sauce. The delectable menu isn’t the only item of note—the resto’s interior showcases sumptuous blue leather booths, terra-cotta tile floors and stunning murals perfect for a pose or two. 5600 W.

4. Harper’s
Inventive spreads, vibey music, heady cocktails and a stunning interior make Harper’s the place to see and be seen, especially during its newly added globally inspired brunches. Feast your eyes on can’t-miss offerings like the chef-attended French-style omelet station serving up locally sourced eggs; savory proteins such as bacon, pork belly, braised Texas wagyu short rib and black tiger shrimp; and finishes like sliced avocado or herbed creme fraiche. Don’t forget to post a pic of your deliciously boozy breakfast cocktail—our fave is the aptly named Bye Bye Birdie. 2525 Elm St., harpers-steakhouse.com
