Maracas Cocina Mexicana serves mimosas for $1 during brunch. For some, that’s probably enough to prompt a Sunday visit, so we might as well start out with that. Those mimosas just might be the most memorable part of brunch at this Deep Ellum Mexican eatery. Of course, a few mimosas…

Scott Zenreich is an unassuming young man who likes to work in theaters and has spent years working in restaurants. He has a wide smile that shows nothing but sincerity when you meet him, and he speaks with graciousness that makes you want to be his friend. It almost seems…

The phrase “brunch at the Joule” has a ring to it that makes you feel like you’re going somewhere special. And with what CBD Provisions regularly has to offer, you’d be right. For us downtown residents, the Joule is a place we can regularly visit. That might mean workout clothes…

For some people, retirement means spending a month in Italy whenever you feel like it. For others, it may be finally getting into that painting hobby you let go years ago.

On a recent visit to Yolk in One Arts Plaza, we waited 25 minutes for a table for a late breakfast. With two decent bloody mary options nearby at The Playwright Irish Pub and Jorge’s, you can easily pass the time. What was interesting, though, was that as we approached…

There’s something special about a French (or even French-inspired) bistro. It frequently has deep colors in decor complemented by natural light flowing through windows, the essence of espresso and pastry in the air and a menu featuring a richness and delicacy unique to French cuisine. Uptown’s Mercat Bistro offers that…

There’s something special about Nova. Maybe it’s that the staff frequently remembers the guests from visit to visit, or maybe it’s the warm glow of the lighting in the mid-century modern dining room that makes you feel at home. A large part of it is probably the fact that when…

Perle on Maple may feel quiet when you walk in, but its brunch menu is worth a shot. It’s a fairly new spot in The Stoneleigh hotel. What’s most exciting is that executive chef Wade Burch is giving Uptown a taste of a French bistro, something we don’t have enough…

When a place that serves seriously good cocktails starts serving brunch, it’s worth trying out. The cocktails at Hide in Deep Ellum — which recently launched Saturday and Sunday brunch — still shine, even before noon. For a sweet but delicious start, you can try the Chickory Dickory Dock ($12),…
