Dallas opens 10 new restaurants in November, including $325 steakhouse

Ten new dining concepts opened across the Dallas metro in late 2026.

The venues range from a Mediterranean bakery in Richardson to a high-end steakhouse in the Design District. Each location brings a specific menu and ownership story to the market.

A notable opening is Juliet, a steakhouse that imports a cinematic theme from its Houston location. The restaurant features an entrance styled like a movie theater and interior walls decorated with film posters. Its menu includes a 24-ounce tomahawk ribeye wrapped in gold and priced at $325. This dish mirrors the style of Nusr-Et, a popular brand that recently closed.

In Duncanville, Matt Balke and Corey McCombs opened Isbella. The couple previously ran Encina, a well-known restaurant in Oak Cliff. Isbella occupies a former fire station and serves Southern-influenced dishes such as chicken-fried steak and shrimp and grits. The project involved a partnership with the Duncanville Economic Development Corporation and developer Monte Anderson.

Other new locations include specific regional and ethnic focuses. Ajeena Mediterranean Café & Bakery opened at 515 W. Campbell Rd. in Richardson, serving Palestinian and Lebanese baked goods like manaeesh and puff pastries. Barro y Fuego opened at East Dock in Dallas, offering pan-Latin dishes and a market selling clay pots. The restaurant is a partnership between Robert Ramirez and Eric Spigner, who appeared on Food Network's Chopped in 2021.

Coco’s Caribbean Haus opened in The Colony in September. Founder Marsha Telfer serves Jamaican and Haitian food, including jerk chicken and oxtail mac pot pie. Page 3 Eatery opened in McKinney, serving Indian cuisine with names inspired by pop culture, such as Celebrity Scoop Arancini. Urban Tandoori Pizza also opened in Richardson, offering halal pizzas with toppings like butter chicken and Bihari kabab.

Tin Star Tacos & Tequila reopened in McKinney. The chain originally started in Dallas in 1999 and closed in 2013. The new menu includes the Cheeseburger Taco and the original number 9 chicken taco. Braised opened at 1499 Regal Row in Dallas, run by Kevin Lee, the brother of influencer Keith Lee. The menu features braised oxtail and lamb chops.

Trapèze opened on the west end of the Bishop Arts District. Owners Peter Novotny and Dan Murry describe the venue as a bohemian artist enclave. The French menu includes steak au poivre and duck confit poutine. The bar serves cognac and absinthe cocktails.
