Mamani, the French contemporary restaurant led by chef Christophe De Lellis, earned its first Michelin Star Tuesday night, after opening in September. The honor gives Dallas two Michelin-starred restaurants in the 2025 Michelin Guide Texas, announced at a ceremony in Houston.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mamani joins Tatsu Dallas, which retained its one-star rating from last year\u2019s inaugural Texas guide.

Mamani\u2019s rapid recognition, within its first two months, marks one of the fastest climbs to a Michelin Star in Texas since the guide expanded to the state in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Tatsu Dallas, an intimate 10-seat omakase led by chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi, repeated as a one-star recipient.
