Hugo's Seafood Bar
Day 2: 5-Course Oceanic Extravaganza Tasting Series
Opened at the very end of 2024 in the Bishop Arts district of Oak Cliff, this Mexican eatery hopped right onto Eater’s List of “Hottest in Dallas” and Paper City Magazine’s List of “Best New Dallas Restaurants.” Chef Hugo Galván, born and raised in the picture book town of San Miguel de Allende, earned his culinary stripes working in his home country before moving to Big D and opening Café San Miguel. He followed that with a Grand Tour of Europe, further honing his culinary skills, and then returned to Texas to open Hacienda San Miguel in Fort Worth. Then, after collaborating with Chef Stephan Pyles at Flora St. Café, he became a much in-demand restaurant consultant. Now, at Hugo’s Seafood Bar, he is delighting diners with amazing tostadas (crab & avocado or tuna), chargrilled oysters with cilantro butter, lobster & crab croquettes, and much more. “Fresh ocean fare with creative twists…it’s already created quite the buzz,” says Dallas Observer. We’re excited about this event and look forward to chatting with Chef Galván and hearing more about his food ideas. Join us!
