High above the buzz of downtown Dallas, Little Daisy offers a dining experience that feels both effortless and elevated. From the moment you step into the ninth-floor space of the Thompson Dallas, you’re greeted by a warm, inviting energy — soft lighting, elegant floral accents, and a mix of cozy corners and communal tables set the tone for lingering over food, drinks, and conversation. It’s the kind of place where city life slows down just enough for you to savor every bite.
Brunch here is a ritual worth planning for. The baked feta shakshuka — spicy tomato-poached eggs paired with a crisp salad and toasted sourdough — is a perfect balance of warmth and freshness, while the daisy omelet, brimming with grits, squash, mushrooms, kale, candied bacon, and a poached egg, satisfies both comfort cravings and culinary curiosity. And no brunch is complete without the Bloody Daisy cocktail, a lively mix of vodka, tomato juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire, celery, and olives that feels like a celebration in every sip.
When evening arrives, Little Daisy shifts seamlessly into a romantic, intimate mood. The Riesling-glazed Parisian gnocchi is delicate yet indulgent, the gumbo and barbecue shrimp over white-cheddar grits carry the depth of Southern soul, and French classics like ratatouille and steak frites make it clear that this kitchen honors technique as much as flavor. Creative touches, like the Hemingway Burger with Creole-seasoned shrimp, offer playful nods to both tradition and imagination. And for dessert, the Daisy Vacherin, light, sweet, and sophisticated, feels like the perfect punctuation to a memorable meal.
Cocktails and wine elevate every dish. Bright, citrusy martinis, thoughtfully curated wines, and playful seasonal cocktails invite guests to sip slowly, whether at the bar or in a dining seat overlooking the skyline. Live jazz and soft lighting in the evening complete the atmosphere, making the space feel intimate and effortlessly elegant.
Little Daisy is a place to start with brunch, linger over cocktails in the afternoon, and end the night with a dinner that feels both special and comfortable. Every plate, every drink delivers a dining experience that is quintessentially Dallas, with a touch of French charm that makes you want to return again.
