A new bistro is opening at a popular restaurant address along Dallas’ Henderson Avenue this month.
The Charlotte, an American lunch and dinner spot, will open Sept. 30 at 2822 N. Henderson Ave. where restaurants Alma and Cuba Libre used to be.
The kitchen will be helmed by chef Wyl Lima, who was previously chef de cuisine at Temporis in Chicago and executive chef at Sister in Dallas, according to a news release.
The restaurant’s menu is an eclectic mix of dishes like steak au poivre, biryani-spiced wings, spicy vodka pasta and a smash burger. Southern influences come through in the shrimp and grits, Creole okra, spaghetti and catfish and Cajun truffle mafaldine.
“The menu at The Charlotte is an expression of all of our collective experiences and the diverse culinary traditions that shape how we approach food,” Lima said in a prepared statement. “We’ve woven the comforting essence of Southern cooking with flavors from around the world. Each dish has its own story to tell, and our goal is to evoke a sense of discovery and familiarity simultaneously.”
The two-story restaurant, which sits across the street from Irish pub The Old Monk, is outfitted with a full-service patio on both levels. Incorporated throughout The Charlotte’s mint and metallic design is a teddy bear theme meant to “evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm.”
The Charlotte will open Sept. 30, 2024 at 2822 N. Henderson Ave., Dallas. It will be open Sunday and Monday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. thecharlotterestaurant.com.
