Texas is now sparkling a bit brighter in the culinary constellation after the Michelin Guide unveiled its first-ever Texas edition on Monday, highlighting several Dallas-Fort Worth eateries. In a noteworthy ceremony held in Houston, the European dining authority recognized more than two dozen DFW restaurants, a poignant moment for an area rich in diverse and quality food offerings yet so far overlooked by the prestigious guide.
Considering the stature of Michelin Guides, it’s not hard to understand why the local dining scene is abuzz. Although no establishment in Texas managed to snag the elusive two
—or three-star accolades, the guide handed out an array of commendations across one-star, Bib Gourmand, and recommended categories. Among the highlights,
NBC 5
reported that Tatsu Dallas, an intimate omakase venue, emerged as the lone-star
recipient, carving out its niche for impeccable sushi craftsmanship.
Securing a Michelin star is no small feat
—it means a restaurant provides a top-tier culinary experience. Edward Goemans, a managing partner at the Michelin-recommended Georgie, stated, as per
NBC 5
, “It’s huge because Michelin is renowned around the world. When they give recognition to restaurants,
it means a great deal.” Such endorsements are anticipated to bring pride and potentially boost patronage and tourism, spotlighting Texas as a noteworthy destination on the global food map.
While we know Tatsu Dallas reaped a one-star award for their gastronomic finesse, other establishments like Rye in Dallas were acknowledged for their standout cocktails, revealing that the Michelin Guide appreciates more than just the food on a plate. This is a point underscored by the guide’s commendation of seven establishments with the Bib Gourmand distinction for good value dining. As
The Dallas Morning News
reported, these eateries are recognized for their ability to provide a two-course meal plus a drink or dessert for a reasonable price, ensuring that Michelin-starred adventures are not solely reserved for those with deep pockets. Among the recipients were Cattleack Barbeque and Gemma in East Dallas, Goldee’s Barbecue in Fort Worth, and others.
