Fogo de Chao
Belt Line Road, Addision, TX | |
For a different style of eating try the Brazillian restaurant Fogo de
Chao, where you'll be presented with a variety of cooked meats. If
you're not too full, there is also a well stocked salad bar and excellent
choice of wines and deserts. Prices are around 40 USD per head.

La Madeleine
Belt Line Road, Addision, TX | |
For a lighter bite, La Madeleine, offers a French cuisine with a
slightly Mexican attitude. Where else would you be thanked with "Muchas

Ruth's Chris Steak House
off Tollway North, Addision, TX | |
If you like your steaks, then Ruth's Chris Steak House, is one of
the best steak houses in town. Beware, as Texan's like 'em big, so go
for the Petite Filet, as a T-Bone might be more like a mountain climbing
experience. Reasonably priced at about 35 USD per head.

Tony Roma's
Belt Line Road, Addision, TX | |
An American special, Tony Roma's specialise in ribs, and very tasty
they are too. They also do a small selection of very good deserts and have
beer on draught. About 25 USD.

| Getting about... |
Getting around Dallas is not easy, public transport
is almost non-existent and it seems to suffer from the American 'Car Culture'.
If you can't manage a hire car (and the road signs and rules are very
strange to Europeans), then some of the hotels run shuttle buses, which are
usually complementary (but subject to the usually tipping).
 Cabs (Taxis) can be booked quite
easily and some of the shopping malls will call a cab to come and pick you up -
they can't be easily hailed from the street, as in London |
