LUCIA
Bishop Arts District
$$$ // Italian
WE LOVE LUCIA. Hands down this is our favorite restaurant in Dallas. It is romantic and intimate while serving up some of the best Italian food in the city. We recommend everyone to go here because the owners are incredible and accommodating to vegans.
Warning, getting a reservation to eat here is hard! You can either 1) book 1-2 months in advance or 2) set up email notifications for the day you want to dine at Lucia. When a table becomes available they will email you.
What you should order….
The menu changes often. If the butter lettuce salad is on the menu, then GET IT! The vegan version is so flavorful...freaking love it. The bread they serve pre-dinner is vegan. They have some pasta dishes that can be made vegan. Just let your server know about your dietary restrictions.
AL BIERNAT’S NORTH
North Dallas
$$ // Steakhouse
Who doesn't like Al Biernat’s. It is one of those sophisticated, romantic restaurants in Dallas that has an elegant casual dress code. Al Biernat’s is known for serving steaks however they also have a vegan menu! If fine dining is your vibe, Al Biernat's definitely has you covered. They have two locations: one in Oak Lawn and one in North Dallas. We like the North Dallas location more.
What you should order….
The vegan options are grilled portabella mushroom enchiladas, tofurky Italian sausage stack, stir fry, Al’s vegan bowl and a cheeseburger.
SACHET
Park Cities
$-$$ // Mediterranean
This Park Cities restaurant is both romantic and vegan-friendly. Sachet, a candlelit restaurant, is known for its shareable plates and veggies. The amount of vegan roasted vegetables and salads they have makes me so excited! Since shareable plates are an option, it is best to take a date here.
What you should order….
We like to get the ciabatta with spicy ezme, butter lettuce, falafel, oyster mushrooms, and green tortiglioni pasta. To drink, we like ordering Duchman’s Montepulciano pr Vermentino. They are a Texas company with great wines.
THE CHARLES
Design District
$$ // Italian, Wine & Cocktails
The Charles is a beautiful, upscale restaurant where you and your date can enjoy a delicious Italian dinner. Located in the Design District of Dallas, this eatery has an amazing menu full of delicious (vegan and non-vegan) food and drinks.
If you really want to impress your date, take them to the champagne bar at the back of the restaurant. To check it out, get to The Charles before your reservation. Notify the host that you are there and head to the very back of the building (you have to walk outside). The bar, Bar Charles, has plush velvet seats and antique decor.
What you should order….
For food, we selected vegan versions of the butter lettuce, crispy potatoes, charred broccoli, spicy crest di gallo, and pistachio lumache.
FELIX CULPA
Lower Greenville
$$ // American, Cocktails, Lounge Style
There is nothing more fancy and romantic than Felix Culpa. It is a swanky, pop art-filled brick dining room in Dallas. Frankly, The most stylish cocktail lounge that we have ever been too. Literally! It is amazing.
What you should order….
For drinks, we recommend trying Fly Me to the Moon and the Grapefruit Aperol Spritzer. They do have a full-service tapas menu with some vegan options. If you want to go here, be sure to make a reservation on Opentable.
TULUM
Park Cities
$$$ // Mexican
This list wouldn’t be complete without the ultimate Dallas romantic Restaurant, Tulum. You can, literally, escape to Tulum for date night without ever leaving Dallas. The owner, Mike Karns and his wife, love to vacation in Mexican City so they brought Tulum’s sexy bohemian vibe to Dallas.
The restaurant’s decor is romantic and sexy. The gorgeous bar is surrounded by banana leaf-print wallpaper and crowned with ethereal white light fixtures. Tulum is the perfect spot for you to go when you want to pretend you're in Mexico with your date or girlfriends.
What you should order….
The vegan options we recommend are the mushroom & wild tacos. The chef is open to creating a vegan dish for you or your date that is off the menu. Just mention to your waiter that you are vegan and want the chef to whip something up.
PARIGI
Uptown
$$$ // American, Bistro
Parigi is a long-standing bistro in Uptown Dallas. Their menu changes twice a month and sources most of their food from local farmers. What I love about Parigi is that the decor is simple and classy yet romantic all at the same time. Plus, you can bring that expensive bottle of wine you have been saving (the coverage fee here is not that much).
What you should order….
This location is vegan-friendly. We ordered the trio (pesto, sundried tomato tapenade and olives with a baguette), baked garlic and stuffed acorn squash.
Pro Tip: Call 214-521-0295 to make a reservation. We bought our own bottle of sparkling rose to celebrate so we recommend that you bring something too! The trio and baked garlic are TOO GOOD. Please try it.
FEARING’S
Uptown
$$$$ // American, Luxe
There are a few fancy restaurants in Dallas that offer vegan options. Luckily, Fearing's has a vegetarian menu with entrees that can be made vegan. We love Fearing’s because it is luxurious and the servers are impeccable. We always get the “5-star treatment” when we eat here.
What you should order….
To start, order the tortilla soup. This is hands down the best vegan soup...ever. It is packed with flavor. We make return visits just for the soup. For entrees, order the vegan roasted vegetable/chickpea makhani curry on saffron basmati rice with wood-grilled garlic naan and coriander mint chutney.

Salum is an intimate, polished restaurant serving upscale American food. The service is top notch and the menu is amazing. All the things you need for a great date night!

Order the build your own burger and add a Beyond Meat patty to make it vegan.
