Cookie Butter Pear Danish and More: Sugar & Sage Rolls Out Fall

The Cristo Amann has company. A few weeks after Sugar & Sage Bakery turned Dallas on its ear with a Monte Cristo baked inside a kouign-amann, the little bakery on Lovers Lane has rolled out its fall lineup, and it is the best argument yet for setting an alarm on a Saturday morning.

If you have not been, Sugar & Sage sits at 4314 Lovers Lane, across from Highland Park High School. Alison Weinstein opened it in 2023 with her daughter, Ashley Sage Weinstein, after the two spent years eating their way through New York’s best bakeries. To run the kitchen, they hired Jill Bates, and that was the smartest thing they could have done.

This Hidden Lovers Lane Taco Spot Is About to Get a Full Liquor License

Behind a gas station and an auto shop on Lovers Lane, there’s a taco spot with no real sign, just a black wall with gold mortar marking where to walk in. It’s called Mi Rey Restaurant Bar, and it’s exactly the kind of place Dallas is full of and never talks about enough: family-owned, unfussy, and quietly excellent.

Inside, it’s a sports-bar kind of room, pool tables, a couple of TVs, casual seating, the sort of space built for a long lazy meal rather than a quick bite. The menu runs on the classics done right rather than anything trying to reinvent itself.

Drake’s Hollywood Has Been Getting It Right on Lovers Lane

There are restaurants built around food, and there are restaurants built around a feeling. Drake’s Hollywood is the second kind, and it makes no apologies about that. The room at 5007 W. Lovers Lane near Briarwood is dim in the way that costs money to achieve correctly — not dark, not moody in the self-conscious sense, just lit at the right level to make everyone in it look like they belong to a better decade. The crimson leather banquette booths that line the walls curve and scallop in a way that recalls early 1960s Las Vegas without winking at you about it.

The Meat Shop: Dallas’s Go-To for Exceptional Beef

The Meat Shop has earned its place by doing something refreshingly simple: pairing outstanding cuts with a relaxed, neighborhood sensibility. Part butcher counter, part casual eatery, it allows guests to enjoy premium meat on the spot or take it home with confidence—and often a bit of expert guidance and Dallas’s go-to for exceptional beef.

Located along West Lovers Lane, The Meat Shop balances European butcher tradition with unmistakable Texas ease. It’s just as common to see diners settling in for lunch as it is to see customers selecting steaks for the grill later that night.

The Meat Shop on Lovers Now Open

image1 (10)by Steven Doyle

Opened by the Sands family, the good people who owned the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek and part of the Hunt family ranch, Rosewood which raises amazing beef, The Meat Shop is now in soft opening stage (means ‘pardon our dust’ in resto language). Get a sneak peek in the early days of opening of this quaint butcher shop located at 4410 West Lovers Lane in Dallas.

My visit netted a deliciously in-house smoked pastrami sandwich that was cheesy, smoky and just downright amazing. They sell prepared foods such as sandwiches, smoked potato salad, twice baked potato, tomato jam and pimento cheese. There is also a large cooler case of beef from the ranch at spirited prices.
