As restaurant groups continue to target Dallas as a growth spot, the co-founder of MML Hospitality in Austin confirmed he plans to open six restaurants in North Texas in under 18 months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They are, in this order: Neighborhood Sushi, French cafe June\u2019s All Day, Clark\u2019s Oyster Bar, then three Swedish Hill bakeries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all according to Larry McGuire, managing partner at MML Hospitality, whose team operates more than 25 properties in Austin including Michelin-recommended Jeffrey’s. MML also has hotels in New York City and New Orleans and restaurants in Houston, Aspen, Colo., and parts of California.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re getting as big as we want to be,\u201d McGuire said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team plans five more restaurants in Dallas after Neighborhood Sushi, which opened on Oak Lawn Avenue in summer 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis might be the last push for us,\u201d McGuire said of the Dallas expansion. Here\u2019s a timeline for MML\u2019s Dallas restaurant rollout.<\/p>\n
June\u2019s All Day in the Dallas Design District<\/p>\n
A \u201cfunky French wine cafe\u201d in Austin, June\u2019s All Day will expand to Dallas Design District high-rise Urby, McGuire confirmed.<\/p>\n

In-the-know foodies have waited several years for June\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked early-on about doing a cafe there and the timing wasn\u2019t right,\u201d McGuire said. In 2023, an unaffiliated cafe called The Meteor, which has ties to Austin, opened temporarily on Urby\u2019s ground floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that June\u2019s All Day is ready to move in, The Meteor slid over to a new location on the same property.<\/p>\n

June\u2019s All Day is named for master sommelier June Rodil, who helped create the wine-focused restaurant a decade ago in Austin. (She\u2019s now a partner at Houston\u2019s Goodnight Hospitality, which owns March, Rosie Cannonball and others, though she continues to lend her name to MML\u2019s French cafe.) June\u2019s All Day was meant to feel like \u201can American cafe in Paris,\u201d McGuire said, with a menu that includes classic French bistro dishes like croque madame and steak frites as well as an all-American cheeseburger and a lengthy wine list.<\/p>\n
The Dallas restaurant will have light pink plaster walls, modern art and checkered floors.<\/p>\n

June\u2019s All Day will be at 1930 Hi Line Drive, Dallas. It\u2019s expected to open in December 2026 or January 2027.<\/p>\n

Steak au\u00a0poivre will land on the June’s All Day menu in colder months.<\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s Oyster Bar on Dallas\u2019 Katy Trail<\/p>\n
Perhaps you\u2019ve heard developers refer to the Katy Trail as Dallas\u2019 \u201coceanfront property.\u201d The popular running trail has become a magnet for deep-pocketed restaurateurs. Clark\u2019s Oyster Bar will join in, with a location near Fitzhugh Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clark’s Oyster Bar is MML\u2019s most replicated restaurant. It\u2019s \u201cthe beloved one,\u201d McGuire said, describing the patio-friendly spot that feels like it would fit near an ocean pier, despite the original in Austin and this offshoot in Dallas being nowhere near a body of salty water.<\/p>\n

In Dallas, the 1960s office building becoming Clark\u2019s Oyster Bar will look like a restaurant on stilts, McGuire said. Popular dishes include crudo, a lobster roll and cioppino.<\/p>\n
Clark\u2019s Oyster Bar will be at 4155 Buena Vista St., Dallas. It\u2019s expected to open in spring 2027.<\/p>\n
Swedish Hill \u2014 at least 3 locations\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fourth brand from MML moving into Dallas will be Swedish Hill, a bakery with about 50 years of history in Austin. McGuire\u2019s team acquired the bakery (which was once called Sweetish Hill) and \u201c2.0\u2019d it,\u201d McGuire said, turning it into a gourmet market and sandwich shop that makes its own sourdough bread and croissants.<\/p>\n
The Austin area has four Swedish Hills. Dallas will have at least three, McGuire said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swedish Hill requires a commissary where baked goods are produced from one central kitchen, McGuire said. MML\u2019s hub in Dallas will be in the Design District, with a cafe in front. The second Swedish Hill is planned near the Knox Hotel development. The third lease has not been signed yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Dallas is the natural move, because we feel like it\u2019s a really good market,\u201d McGuire said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to go where we feel like there\u2019s opportunity and a need for what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swedish Hill will open at the Dallas Decorative Center at 1617 Hi Line Drive; in a space near the Knox Hotel; and at an unknown third location. Three locations expected to open in summer 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
