Medina Oven & Bar

Tastebuds will be transported to Morocco, or at least be tricked to think they are. Get set for homemade pita bread and hummus, followed by a main dish like the seafood with couscous, lamb sausage pizza, or shrimp brochettes. Right around the corner from the House of Blues.

Kenichi Dallas

Fresh wasabi might make your eyes stream, but this is totally worth it for the Asian-fusion tastes of this Victoria Park eatery. Diners sip on sake while choosing from innovative rolls including eel with strawberry and teriyaki sauce; and the snow crab with cucumber and avocado, topped with yellowtail, sriracha, serrano thai basil vinaigrette.

Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse
