Quarter Acre
5-Course Globally Inspired Tasting Event
Opened a little over a year ago, this inviting Greenville Avenue bistro has a New Zealand twist: Chef/Owner Toby Archibald hails from the region and that aspect (along with NZ's history of global cuisine) shapes his menu. Eater named Quarter Acre to its List of “Best 2023 Openings in Dallas” while Culture Map awarded it its Dallas Tastemaker Award for "Best New Restaurant" last year. Chef Archibald has worked at Michelin-Starred restaurants worldwide, including The Greenhouse in London and Cafe Boulud in New York City and, most recently, was Executive Chef at Chef Curtis Stone’s Georgie. At Quarter Acre, he is turning out dishes like rabbit rillettes, chicken-fried quail with chanterelles and blueberries, braised venison osso buco, and grilled sea bass with forbidden rice, pumpkin-coconut velouté, and pomelo chutney, all served in a soothing environment reminiscent of a forest glade. Fabulous desserts too, like sesame crème brûlée and orange syrup cake. “There’s no other restaurant in Dallas quite like Quarter Acre,” says Dallas Magazine. “A distinctive, interesting place with its own point of view.”
