Mercat Bistro
2501 Harry Hines BlvdBest brunch in Dallas (in our opinion)
Fantastic sushi hand-rolls in a uniquely minimalist environment. Nori doesn't take reservations, so consider grabbing a drink around Deep Ellum while you wait for a spot at the bar. Ideal for dinner for 1 or 2, as all seating is bar seating.
