Eat Whole30 in Dallas: Paleo Friendly Restaurants & Tips

Dallas Whole30 reset compatible meals

Where I eat in Dallas on a Whole30. This is not an inclusive list, or with consideration to Whole30 Approved. But, this list is MY expertise of 7 years. This is the list that has helped me get through four resets, my own food allergies & an all too long phase of orthorexia. Either way, this list is here to help you succeed, along with my many patients who need Gluten-free/Dairy-Free/Soy-free/legume-free options.

Tip: Any grilled/baked protein + steamed veggies and plain baked potato are always a go-to. Ask for a meal to be cooked in oil, not butter. Avoid dressings, replace them with vinegar, guac or salsa. 

Whole30 Approved options

• UP Inspired Kitchen: see the Whole30 menu & try the salmon fritt. 
• Chipotle: chicken or carnitas, lettuce bowl with extra lettuce or super greens, salsa & guacamole. 

Date Night 

• Pie Tap: starter simple salad with vinegar, rotisserie half chicken for an entree. 
• Burgers: Dugg/Liberty/HopDoddy/Mooyah/In N Out: Protein Style (lettuce wrapped) Beef or bison Hamburger on a salad, add onions, mustard, avocado. 
• HG Sply: Ask for a specific menu. Bowls, lots of options here! NOT the queso SWYPO. Cold brew or Kombucha to drink.

Brunch so hard

• Snooze: omelet with all the veg, avocado, green chile & chicken sausage (made in house) 
• Sundown at Granada: bunless burger with onion & avocado, side of roasted vegetables & kombucha. 
• Origin Cafe: lots of options here! Ask for a specific menu. Thai Salmon or Warm Brussel Salad with a protein. Kombucha to drink.

Tex/Mex 101

• Taco Deli: ask for menu – Ensalada without corn or queso, open-faced tacos – Al Pastor, Mojo Fish, Carne Asada. 
• El Bolero, Mi Cocina, Meso Mayo- Ceviche to start. Ask for cucumbers for dipping guac or ceviche. Fajita dishes easy. Consider a garden salad with shrimp and side of guac, salsa or lime juice as a dressing.
• Mesero: salad options but – the roasted chicken with vegetables is phenomenal. Call ahead to order.
