Recap at 8:30 p.m. The Michelin awards were over as soon as they started, the entire ceremony lasting only an hour. The highlight reel for Dallas is that the brand-spanking-new Mamani<\/a> earned a one-star distinction, Mister Charles<\/a> earned an Exceptional Cocktail award (Chas Martin) and Sushi Kozy was added to the list of recommended restaurants. Tatsu retained its one star from 2024. <\/p>\n

Our big disappointment of the night is that Quarter Acre did not earn a higher distinction than recommended, which is something we were hoping for<\/a>. The Lower Greenville restaurant retained its recommended status. <\/p>\n

No new restaurants earned a Bib Gourmand distinction. Jump to the full list of the 2025 Dallas Michelin Guide below<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A Refresher on the 3 Tiers<\/p>\n

Last year was the first year that Michelin released a guide for Texas cities, including Dallas<\/a>. Michelin Guide breaks down restaurants into three distinctions:<\/p>\n

STARS<\/strong>
Michelin awards restaurants one, two, or three stars based on food quality, using five criteria: quality of ingredients, mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in the cuisine, harmony of flavors, and consistency between visits. Restaurant inspectors do not look at decor, table settings, or service quality for stars.<\/p>\n

BIB GOURMANDS
<\/strong>The second tier, if you will, is named after Bibendum, the big puffy Michelin Man mascot (who knew?), recognizing \u201cfriendly establishments that serve food at moderate prices,\u201d per the\u00a0Michelin site<\/a>. But we\u2019ll have to agree to disagree on what moderate is. Cattleack and Lucia were on this list last year, and you\u2019re not leaving either full for $40 per plate, which is their gauge.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED<\/strong>
Restaurants in the guide without a star or Bib Gourmand are recommended. They are simply chefs using quality ingredients that are cooked well, which makes for a good meal. <\/p>\n

The 2025 Dallas Michelin Guide Awards
\nExceptional Cocktail Award<\/p>\n

Chas Martin at Mister Charles<\/a> earned an Exceptional Cocktail Award. This award celebrates outstanding achievements in cocktail creation and service. Mister Charles is a recommended restaurant in the Knox-Henderson neighborhood from the Duro Hospitality Group, which also includes El Carlos Elegante (also recommended). <\/p>\n

Two Michelin Star Restaurants<\/p>\n

Two Dallas restaurants received one star in the 2025 Dallas Michelin Guide; Tatsu retained its status, and the newly opened Mamani earned one star. No Dallas restaurants earned two or three stars. <\/p>\n

Tatsu<\/strong>
Tatsu<\/a><\/strong> retained its one-star distinction. This small omakase on the edge of Deep Ellum is the work of chef Tatsuya \u201cTatsu\u201d Sekiguchi and wife, Hiroko. There are just 10 seats at the sushi counter inside the historic Continental Gin Building. The typical dinner is 14 pieces of Edomae sushi, a style Sekiguchi learned at his family\u2019s almost 100-year-old restaurant in Hasuda City, Japan. In our review,\u00a0Tatsu and the Art of Omakase<\/a>, we relished the experience as a master class in sushi. There are two seatings a night, so 20 guests total.\u00a0Reservations<\/a>\u00a0are $185 upfront per person, but more after tax, tip and fees, and that doesn\u2019t include drinks. For a couple, expect to spend near $500.<\/p>\n

Mamani<\/strong> has earned one star in the 2025 Dallas Michelin Guide. Mamani just opened in The Quad this September, which is a stunning turnaround for such a distinction. From our opening announcement<\/a> last month, Lauren Durie wrote: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cExecutive Chef-partner Christophe De Lellis has the pedigree (he ran Joel Robuchon\u2019s three-Michelin-starred Las Vegas institution for nearly a decade) but insists he just wants to cook food he wants to eat. That translates into \u201csimple dishes that dazzle.\u201d Think Dover sole with brown butter, a culotte steak draped in sauce meurette and a whole duck presented \u201cthe Mamani way,\u201d named for the owners\u2019 grandmother. Translation: don\u2019t ask questions, just order it. They even slipped her signature penne arrabbiata on the menu, because every family has that one dish that feels like home (ironically, the name of their hospitality group).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bib Gourmand Restaurants<\/p>\n

No new restaurants in Dallas earned a Bib Gourmand distinction. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Below are the restaurants that retained a Bib Gourmand status in 2025. <\/p>\n

Cattleack<\/strong>
The restaurant is one of 24 barbecue joints to make Texas\u2019 Michelin Guide. The only problem we have with this exceptional spot is that it\u2019s open just four days a week. 1628 Gamma Road, Farmers Branch<\/p>\n

Gemma<\/strong>
Gemma<\/a> is the work of chef Stephen Rogers and Allison Yoder, a couple who met at one-star Press in Napa Valley. At this American Bistro in Dallas, the extensive (and wonderful) wine list complements French and Italian comfort foods. The complimentary snack bowl of fried olives and pecans is a local treasure. 2323 N. Henderson Ave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lucia<\/strong>
Long one of the toughest reservations to snag in Dallas, this Italian restaurant in the middle of the Bishop Arts District \u201ccrafts a menu rooted in Italian classics that shifts with the availability of terrific Texan produce,\u201d per Michelin. We love that this spot is like stepping into the home of the owners, David and Jennifer Uygur. The\u00a0menu<\/a>\u00a0rotates often so there\u2019s always something new to check out. Reservations are a near must, but occasionally they\u2019ll have a spot at the bar for walk-ins. But don\u2019t bank on it. 287 N. Bishop Ave.<\/p>\n

Mot Hai Ba
<\/strong>This small East Dallas jewel is helmed by a Serbian chef with a menu\u00a0described by Michelin<\/a>\u00a0as \u201ccontemporary cuisine with Vietnamese and French influences and decidedly Texan touches.\u201d Insider tip: the chocolate cake may be the best in Dallas. 6047 Lewis St.<\/p>\n

Ngon<\/strong>
Ngon on Lower Greenville, named after owner Carol Nguyen\u2019s mother, serves some of the freshest and most authentic Vietnamese dishes in Dallas. The menu, based on the street food in Hanoi, where Nguyen grew up, offers a\u00a0dozen different rolls as well as bowls of rice, noodles, curries and pho. As Michelin writes, this restaurant is \u201cpersonal.\u201d 1907 Greenville Ave.<\/p>\n

Nonna<\/strong>
Nonna, now officially (per their\u00a0website<\/a>) Nonna-Tabu with a connecting space that offers Iive music, is a classic Italian restaurant serving a seasonal menu propped up by handmade pasta and a wood-burning oven. Nonna is casual elegance at its best. 4115 Loma Alto Dr.<\/p>\n

Michelin Recommended<\/p>\n

These restaurants are recommended in the 2025 Dallas Michelin Guide. <\/p>\n

Sushi Kozy<\/a> <\/strong>earned a Michelin recommendation this year. According to the guide\u2019s entry, \u201cMore elegant than cozy, this omakase-only spot from Chef Paul Ko offers a contemporary blend of kaiseki and sushi in a stylishly modern setting.\u201d <\/p>\n
