Chow Thai Addison was established in the early 1990s by Sam and Vinnie Virasin, restaurateurs from Southern California who moved to Dallas, Texas. Chow Thai was created to meet a need for excellent Thai food in a stylish setting in North Dallas. The restaurant's first review by the Dallas Morning News mentioned the wonderful flavors, eye-catching décor, and the fashionable customers. Chow Thai's décor and menu have undergone improvements over the years while retaining the same pride in service and culinary excellence.

Your hunger that is. Cafe Madrid's specialty is tapas, the little Spanish dishes whose name means "to cover." They began as freebies in bars: thin slices of serrano ham or saucers of food set atop wineglasses to keep out pesky fruit flies. Today, you'll find a huge variety of tapas, both hot and cold. Cafe Madrid offers a splendid assortment, and while it wasn't Dallas' first tapas spot, at 18 years-plus it probably is the longest running. We've never left disappointed.
