Opening Nov. 7, the new outpost delivers French flair, fine dining and a touch of Parisian romance<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t how it usually goes. Normally, a restaurant debuts in Dallas or Addison and then expands north of the President George Bush Turnpike.<\/p>\n
But here, the reverse happened. La Parisienne French Bistro first opened at The Star in Frisco in 2023. We loved the bright, cheery Franco vibes. Most importantly, we loved the food. La Parisienne does the classics right, but what makes the restaurant work so well is how it captures the idea of France itself. The romance. The flavor. And the feeling.<\/p>\n
Now, La Parisienne French Bistro opens its flagship today, Nov. 7, at Addison\u2019s Village on the Parkway. The new Addison outpost is larger and grander, spanning 4,800 square feet and including a private dining and tea room designed for special gatherings. Plus, the patio is en plein air perfection. Love it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What To Expect<\/p>\n
From the moment you walk in, the space captures ineffable charm: blue-rose chandeliers, Tiffany-blue accents and lush greenery. In the bar, little hot air balloons float overhead. Photos of Paris glow behind the bar, inviting guests to linger over a cocktail before dinner or an espresso after dessert. There\u2019s even a walk-up coffee and dessert counter for to-go lattes and pastries.<\/p>\n
The ambiance feels slightly moodier, but that\u2019s intentional. This location is more date-night forward, which makes sense given its Addison setting. Outside, the patio extends the experience with cozy seating and warm lighting for cooler North Texas evenings.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the first time I visited Paris, I recognized the sense of magic and the romance that the city gives its guests,\u201d says founder Mondi Tag in an official statement. \u201cI wanted to share that gracious service and joie de vivre with North Texas. Opening this larger restaurant in Addison allows us to create an inviting dining and cultural experience that can be enjoyed morning, noon and night.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Menu That Balances Comfort And Craft<\/p>\n
To craft a menu worthy of the setting, Tag partnered with acclaimed chef Omar Adame. His dishes combine classic French technique with modern presentation.<\/p>\n
Dinner begins indulgently: a Beef Wellington served daily, a whole roasted branzino almondine and duck two ways \u2014 confit leg and seared breast served with fennel, sweet potato gratin\u00e9e and a cherry-duck jus. A dedicated steak menu spotlights akaushi beef, a wagyu variety prized for its intense marbling and buttery texture.<\/p>\n
Other highlights include the champagne-poached pear and whipped camembert \u2014 a must-try. There\u2019s also lobster in a jar: butter-poached, of course, and delicious.<\/p>\n

Deep cuts include the spicy rigatoni, which is now one of the best things on the menu. It\u2019s comfort food how I like it \u2014 a warm, culinary hug. Same goes for the chicken fran\u00e7aise, a dish my wife became obsessed with after trying it for the first time at The Star. This is also a dish I tried to make at home \u2014 with disastrous results. I love food. I love cooking. I wish I were better at the latter, but I\u2019m delighted to be good at eating.<\/p>\n
Lunch offers a lighter touch without losing the flourish. Guests can expect a beautiful braised beet salade, French dip and croque monsieur sandwiches and entrees such as steak frites or colossal shrimp risotto.<\/p>\n
Weekend brunches lean whimsical: br\u00fbl\u00e9e French toast, honey-ricotta pancakes and hot honey duck and waffles.<\/p>\n
And Don\u2019t Forget Afternoon Tea<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not all dinner decadence and brunch indulgence, though, afternoons here are something special.<\/p>\n
What truly sets La Parisienne apart is its daily afternoon tea service, offered seven days a week and priced from $45 to $59. The experience includes tiers of delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and jewel-box pastries served alongside fine teas. A vegetarian option is available for those who prefer lighter fare.<\/p>\n
And the tea room itself? Absolutely adorable.<\/p>\n
For Those With Dietary Restrictions<\/p>\n
Because La Parisienne is a scratch kitchen, the team says they can accommodate allergies and gluten sensitivities. Those with severe restrictions should contact the restaurant directly.<\/p>\n
