Just the concept of local ingredients trucked in from the farm every day, the reliance on organic meats and vegetables, and the ever-changing menu would be enough to attract enough of a following to sustain this small Oak Cliff station. But the kitchen is pretty damn good too?even without a deep fryer or walk-in freezer as back-up. The flavors are intensely fresh and the dishes creative without being overwrought. And if that?s not enough, the owners designed Bolsa with great sensitivity to the building?s historic look and feel. OK, so it?s an old auto shop?it still feels like part of a 1940s neighborhood. Open, airy, with a cool ?beer garden?-style patio. Really, one of the best new restaurants.

  • 2010 | Best Place to Take a Date

    We could have given Bolsa tons of awards. Best flatbread. Best mussels. Best bartender. Best bartender with muscles. You get the picture. But it's really all those other bests that make it simply the best place to take a date because when you're... More >

  • 2010 | Best Patio

    Summers in Texas can be brutal, so patio-sittin’ isn’t exactly a popular pastime in the hot months. That is, unless you’re a regular at Bolsa near Oak Cliff’s Bishop Arts District. Bolsa’s covered patio is an oasis with its huge fans, gen... More >

  • 2009 | Best Pizza By Another Name

    The Oak Cliff restaurant caught everyone's attention by offering a menu that changed daily based upon whatever a slate of farmers brought in. They also earned some notice because of their refusal to buy such conveniences as a deep fryer. But we... More >

  • 2009 | Best Cup of Coffee

    Don't tell food critic Dave, but we stole the bag of Bolsa Blend that landed on his desk a few weeks back. Because, see, we finished ours in a week—should have gone much longer, damn our addictions! And, truth told, we'll drink any of the blends... More >

  • 2009 | Best Patio

    Sure, the great food and wine selection keeps the clientele at Bolsa satisfied despite the long waits and occasionally lazy service. It's the décor that really sells it, however—anyone who knew it in its former incarnation as Settles Auto Garage... More >

    They don't take reservations, so the wait can be long. Great food however, I had the duck and it was delicious. The menu is very light on appetizers.

    Love Bolsa! From the organic market to the fresh ingredients to the hand-crafted cocktails which you really can't find elsewhere in town, I am so thrilled Bolsa is in Dallas. Dallas needed Bolsa.

    Everything I've tried there has been delicious, and the portions are such that you are satisfied but not overfull by the end of dessert. I've especially liked the bruscetta, flatbreads, pekin duck breast, poblano soup, and the rum tile dessert.
