Dallas’ 7 Best Tasting Menus — From Adventurous Dinners in Lower Greenville to the Back Room of Revolver Taco

One of our favorite meals last year, Rye’s new chef’s tasting menu is a wonderful adventure of 12 courses. Executed by Chef de Cuisine Jay Vopatek, some of the dishes change seasonally, but several favorites like the Dessert for Dinner, Edible Napkin, Za’atartare, and Cheeky Pun remain.

The Lower Greenville spot from owners Tanner Agar and Taylor Rause has always been a bit whimsical, but this new tasting experience takes adventurous dining to another level. ($185 per person)

Crafted by 2025 James Beard finalist RJ Yoakum, the Taste of Georgie tasting menu features eight courses. For spring, this includes snacks (such as Yoakum’s famous potato churro), tomato & free cheese, sea urchin, halibut, ricotta gnudi, spring lamb, coconut sherbert, and the chocolate & peanut butter candy bar. ($185 per person).

Guests can also add on a sommelier wine pairing for $150 per person.

This New Zealand-inspired restaurant from chef Toby Archibald recently launched a new tasting menu in Lower Greenville. The seven-course dinner features classic Quarter Acre dishes as well as limited and unique items. The menu isn’t printed, so guests can expect a surprise presented by the server.

When we visited, we enjoyed a Texas petite oyster with passionfruit foam, parmesan arancini with duck prosciutto, Archibald’s popular Kingfish ceviche, duck rillettes with orange puree, BBQ’d cabbage, charred octopus with mole, and our favorite bite of the evening, seared duck breast with sweet potato mille feuille. For dessert, we adored the hazelnut profiterole. Guests also always leave Quarter Acre with a Lolly Bag to take a few more treats home. ($125 per person and optional wine pairings start at an additional $55 per person)

This sky-high modern Italian restaurant at The National recently launched a new tasting menu. Soon, it will transition to its spring chef’s tasting menu. But we can confirm that if it’s anything like the winter chef’s tasting menu the restaurant is now wrapping up, it’s to be excited about.

The most recent menu features six courses including hamachi, winter chicories, Hokkaido scallops, dopo ravioli, a Rosewood wagyu filet with a delicious side of oxtail ragout with gnocchi, and a “connolo” for dessert. ($175 per person)

A wine pairing is also available to add on for $125 per person.

A Dallas icon, The Mansion Restaurant also offers a not-to-miss Discovery Tasting Menu executed by new Executive Chef Charles Olalia. Currently, the seven-course menu offers a hamachi crudo, foie gras terrine, spinach agnolotti, mushroom & leek risotto, fried quail, steak au poivre or Miyazaki A5 wagyu striploin, blood orange sherbert, and chocolate & honey tart. ($175 per person, and an additional $110 per person with wine pairing).

Guests can also opt for the vegetarian tasting — a five-course menu for $145 per person.

Inside Revolver Taco Lounge in Deep Ellum, Purépecha is one of the best tasting menu experiences in Dallas. From 2025 James Beard finalist Regino Rojas, the seven-course menu ($180 per person) showcases dishes of Michoacan, Mexico. In an intimate setting in the back room, with only a couple of tables available per night, the experience gets personal. There’s also a four-course option for $120 per person that is available in the front dining room.

On a recent visit, we enjoyed kanpachi crudo, sea bass, and pork chop slathered in a delicious guava mole. For dessert, there was an array of popular Mexican desserts, including tres leches, strawberries and cream, and buñuelos.

Chef Dean Fearing’s namesake restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas offers a five-course chef’s tasting menu of his signature dishes. It’s not advertised on the menu but features a chef’s choice of dishes based on seasonality. ($135 per person, wine pairings can be added for $95 per person)
