The Absolute Best Brunches in Dallas Right Now

Famous for brunch in New York City, Sadelle’s has made its way to Texas this past week—complete with a wide variety of sliced fish and bagel towers served in a sophisticated setting worthy of something fancier than T-shirts and shorts. Of course, because they want to feel at home in Dallas, the Sadelle’s team has added a lineup of Breakfast Tacos to keep company with the egg sandwiches, omelets, Eggs Benedict, and over-the-top caviar service. Even the Bloody Marys, Mimosas, and rosés somehow feel more cosmopolitan here.

In fact, request those dishes in that exact order and you’ll have one of the best three-course meals imaginable. All-day Sunday happy hour is just a bonus.

Of course, you should always start every Tex-Mex meal with a huge bowl of Queso Blanco, and El Bolero’s is among the best in town. (And it tastes great on eggs, to boot.)
