SHOPPING AND DINING
Amélange of tastes, cultures, arts and
life: there’s no place quite like the Metroplex
cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. With such
diversity, it’s no wonder that no matter what
taste you crave, you are never far from the
food you love. The Metroplex is a delight for
the curious epicurean to explore, a food-
lover’s paradise, where imaginations and
tastes can run wild. From the traditional and
romantic to new and exotic, there’s a whole
world to be discovered and savored.
Dallas and Fort Worth pay homage to
their cowboy roots with classic
steakhouses that spark lively debates
about which one serves up the biggest,
most tender steaks. Exotic game,
barbecue and two-fisted burgers served
up big and juicy – just the way you would
expect in these two cities considered by
many to be the epitome of Texas. Tex-mex,
Southwestern, and just plain good old-
fashioned down-home cooking are also
treasured.
With the diversity of cultures found here, it
shouldn’t come as a surprise that fusion
cuisine is popular here, blending together
global tastes to create an ever-changing
number of dishes that present new twists on
old favorites. From the delicate aromas
and spices of the Pacific Rim to the hearty,
robust and flavorful tastes of South America
to the most avant-garde kitchens of Europe,
Metroplex restaurateurs have taken the term
“play with your food” literally to create
enticing, mouthwatering menus.
The Metroplex has rightfully earned its
reputation among connoisseurs and self-
proclaimed “foodies” alike as a Mecca
for those who love to experience the
world on a plate. Get out and explore
this world, and be swept along on a
delightful journey that will travels deep to
the heart of Texas.
The following is a sampling of the
thousands of wonderful restaurants in the
Metroplex area. Enjoy!
