Villa Azur, Dallas’ South of France-inspired culinary and entertainment destination located in the W Hotel, has unveiled a new bar food and beverage menu that is perfect to enjoy before the ~2 minute walk over to the American Airlines Center for a Dallas Mavericks or Stars game, or concert by the world-renowned stars who frequent the venue.
The menu features sharable favorites and flatbreads meant to be enjoyed as Apéro Dinatoire, a French tradition involving a few drinks, light snacks, and good people that Dallasites can now experience here in town.
