Take an international trip with a taste of Lebanese cuisine from Hedary’s. A local Mediterranean restaurant inside a historic Queen Anne cottage located in the historic neighborhood of downtown Allen. Visitors rave about their house-made sauces and fresh Greek salads handpicked from their onsite vegetable garden.

You can even indulge in healthful Italian food at Mio Nonno with a chef-driven menu that highlights the freshest ingredients available locally and imported high-quality Italian ingredients. Stop in for a locally-roasted cup of joe at Armor Coffee and try their scratch made menu including Jenn’s Chicken Salad Sandwich (as in Jenn Todryk of “No Demo Reno” on HGTV!) Or Head over to Elke’s Market Cafe, recently voted “Best Neighborhood Restaurant” by D Magazine.
