Bolsa
Just West of the Bishop Arts District and situated in Oak Cliff, lies the quaint bar and kitchen called Bolsa, formally the historic Settles Garage building. This gem boasts big windows and doors, and the decor is minimalist and organic. In fact, most ingredients used in the chefs’ thoughtful dishes are organic and grown by local farmers. Bolsa doubles as a mini marketplace where you can purchase these fresh goodies and other Texas-made products. Offering a beautiful patio and plenty of colorful people watching, it’s no wonder this humble restaurant is always buzzing with local regulars and rave reviews.
