Dallas, Texas, is famous for many things: its football team, the Reunion Tower, and its history. But one more thing that has made it stand out among other cities in America is brunch .
Dallas has a thriving brunch scene with great restaurants and cafes serving delicious meals for any palate. Whether you are looking for a traditional American brunch or a more creative take on a classic, Dallas has something for everyone. However, deciding where to go for brunch can be difficult when there are so many options to choose from. We’ve narrowed it down to eight options, so you don’t have to!
Sadelle’s Highland Park
In Dallas’ Highland Park neighborhood, Sadelle’s is an elegant restaurant with retro elements and turquoise accents. In Harper’s BAZAAR, Cosmopolitan, and The New York Times (among others), Sadelle’s is hailed as a must-visit brunch spot.
The restaurant’s eclectic menu features starters that range from oysters to shrimp, dumplings, and more. You can choose from various hand-sliced fish dishes for your main course: salmon or Scottish served with tomato and cucumber on a bagel. And, you can enjoy the meal with their special drink—the grapefruit cocktail.
Dining at Sadelle is by reservation only, and for parties of eight or more people, reservations are recommended 30 days in advance.
Ida Claire
Ida Claire is a creative, southern-inspired restaurant and bar that offers meals with flavors from all over the world while maintaining a decidedly Southern twist.
Their menu mixes grilled chicken, hot tenders, shrimp, and grits. Their famous ding-dong chocolate cake is only one of the many dishes that have made Ida Claire popular. They also offer a unique selection of drinks available only in their brunch menu, including the much-talked-about Proud Mary and Who’s That Lady vodka—modern versions of classic drinks made with homemade ingredients.
But Ida Claire isn’t just a destination for great food and ambiance—it’s also become known as one of the best places in town to listen to classic vinyl records. Every weekday from 3–6 pm, customers can enjoy their favorite oldies while snacking on bar food and drinks during the vinyl hour.

Other famous dishes include fried chicken served with waffles that come with both syrup and hot sauce. In addition to a variety of non-alcoholic options including hot coffee and fresh juices, Ida Claire also features a separate section on their menu dedicated to wine.

Their veggie burger with an oat patty is an excellent option for vegans. They also offer plenty of drink options—teas, coffees, and mimosas.
