Rye

Rye is a bold and inventive small-plates restaurant nestled in Dallas’s Lower Greenville district, where each dish surprises with creative flavor combinations—from a Texas-raised wagyu beef hot dog to playful bites like a deconstructed “blue cheesecake” or an Icelandic hot dog served on petite rye bread. The atmosphere is intimate and richly atmospheric, featuring exposed brick, wood-beamed ceilings, and warm lighting that sets the stage for memorable evenings. Its cocktail program, led by Julian Shaffer, earned the Michelin Guide Texas “Exceptional Cocktails” award, distinguishing Rye as home to the best cocktails in the state. Often celebrated in local guides as one of Dallas’s most imaginative dining destinations, Rye blends humor, culinary daring, and impeccable hospitality into every experience.
