The Top 50 Restaurants in Dallas Right Now. 

The “best” of anything is so subjective: best dog, best rock album, the best movie released in 1984. This list highlights 50 restaurants that make Dallas an exciting place to live, work and play. Usual suspects? Some, but not exclusively. Individually, these are spots we continually go back to because they offer something, well, tasty, of course, but also unique. Collectively, it’s a great mixtape; a little of this and that — it’s high-end and low-end, a mix of grit and elegance. If you hit one spot a week for the next year, you’d have a well-rounded idea of what Dallas’ culinary scene has to offer.

This year, we’ve narrowed our list down from 100 to 50. Fifty is less gangly, more succinct and, pound-for-pound, packs a bigger punch to your taco hole.

Cafe Momentum is a nonprofit venture that employs young adults previously involved with the justice system and pays them fair, living wages to help teach them life skills, leadership and, of course, how to work in a restaurant. Because of the employees’ fair wages, any tips left behind are considered donations to the mission. As such, it’s easy to praise the restaurant without ever mentioning food, just by dwelling on the life-changing effects it has on young people who deserve this chance to work and grow. But here’s the thing: Cafe Momentum is a genuinely great restaurant, one that consistently manages to stand out from the crowd.
