Already, 2026 has seen several buzzy restaurant openings reshape how locals and visitors dine in Cowtown. Even more are on the horizon. This summer and fall will see notable debuts, including one led by a Michelin-starred chef from Mexico. With plenty of highly anticipated launches still ahead, these are the Most Anticipated New Fort Worth Restaurants Opening in 2026.<\/p>\n
Updated July 2026<\/p>\n
Almac\u00e9n El Gallo<\/p>\n
500 West 7th Street, Suite 175<\/p>\n
Downtown will soon welcome its newest restaurant: Almac\u00e9n El Gallo. Owned by Burciaga Hospitality Group and led by Chef Rivera R\u00edo (co-founder of KOLI Cocina de Origen, the Michelin-starred restaurant based in Monterrey, Mexico), the restaurant will bring authentic, contemporary Mexican cuisine inspired by the country\u2019s cantinas and fondas.<\/p>\n
When we last spoke with the hospitality group\u2019s Adrian Burciaga, he said the menu would lean into quality steaks, hearty salads, stews, enchiladas folded instead of rolled, and tacos made with premium proteins, among other offerings. The space will also serve as a contemporary Mexican-style cantina. After his recent success revamping Tinie\u2019s, we can\u2019t wait to try the new menu.<\/p>\n

\nHiro\u2019s Kitchen<\/p>\n
309 W Daggett Ave, Suite 101<\/p>\n
A recent Instagram post showing kitchen equipment arriving at Hiro\u2019s Kitchen has us pining for our first taste of their sushi- and sake-inspired vision. In May, we sat down with Hiro and Nami Ochiai, the married couple who hail from Japan and first met in New York City, to learn about their forthcoming restaurant.<\/p>\n
The couple told us they fell in love with the warmth and generous spirit of Fort Worth. This summer, they plan to bring a \u201cfriendly neighborhood restaurant\u201d to the Near Southside that serves traditional sushi, sashimi, and premium sake. By showcasing the various sake-making regions of their home country, they hope to bring a unique dining experience to their adopted home of Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
Station & Vine<\/p>\n
221 W Lancaster Avenue<\/p>\n
Opening this summer inside the historic Fort Worth T&P Station, Station & Vine will be a full-service restaurant that pairs its landmark setting with an ambitious menu featuring a 14-ounce Prime New York strip, cast iron steak frites, braised boneless short rib, Gulf red snapper, rare ahi tuna au poivre, and black tiger shrimp with mussels. Given the 95-year-old station\u2019s rich history and prominent location, Station & Vine sounds like a worthy new chapter for this beloved building.<\/p>\n
Duong DeVille<\/p>\n
3330 West 7th Street<\/p>\n
Chef Hao Tran is a local treasure \u2014 known as much for championing fellow chefs as for carving out her own singular path through pop-ups, special events, and Hao\u2019s Grocery. In 2026, she is set to open Duong DeVille, a Vietnamese restaurant honoring the traditional food of South and Central Vietnam. Expect elevated dishes such as Bun Bo Hue (spicy noodle soup), dumplings, rice cakes with shrimp, and vegan options when Duong DeVille opens at Entrepreneur Park in September.<\/p>\n
Everything will be locally sourced at the new Fort Worth restaurant that will honor the memory of Hao\u2019s late father, Ky Dinh Tran.<\/p>\n

\nMadrone<\/p>\n
1400 Henderson Street<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve eagerly followed the progress at Chef Jenna Kinard\u2019s forthcoming new Fort Worth restaurant dubbed Madrone. The upscale Southern cuisine spot promises to be the crown jewel of the Fort Worth Public Market when it opens mid-2026. PaperCity Fort Worth recently spoke with Kinard about the menu, which she says will feature Texas wagyu tartare, deviled eggs, hamachi with mesquite bean miso, Gulf oysters, and other locally sourced dishes that will be tinged with Kinard\u2019s signature Southeast Asian touch.<\/p>\n

\nBeverly\u2019s Downtown<\/p>\n
901 Houston Street<\/p>\n
The restaurant group behind The Mont is preparing to open its second restaurant in 2026 with Beverly\u2019s Downtown. Located below ground in the Hogan Building, the space promises a subterranean dining experience unlike anything Fort Worth has seen.<\/p>\n
The menu will focus on bold Mexican flavors, while the interior \u2014 designed by Kellye Raughton \u2014 provides an escape from the street-level bustle above. The opening month is currently set for August.<\/p>\n

\nHudson House<\/p>\n
Since debuting in Fort Worth in late 2023, Hudson House has built a devoted local following with its polished take on East Coast\u2013inspired dining. The Vandelay Hospitality Group restaurant concept, known for its famously icy martinis and seafood-forward menu, is expanding again with a new Southlake restaurant slated to open in mid-2026 at 1131 E. Southlake Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Newcomer Restaurants That Are Now Open<\/p>\n
Since we published our preview of new additions to Fort Worth\u2019s dining scene in January, the following destinations have opened their doors to welcome guests.<\/p>\n
Felina<\/p>\n
401 Bryan Avenue, Suite 117<\/p>\n
The Bocca Osteria Romana team is preparing to open a new restaurant called Felina that will focus on Neapolitan-style pizza. From more purist options such as the Margherita (tomatoes, creamy fior di latte, basil) to the Amatriciana (guanciale and pecorino) and Pizza Limone (lemon zest and smoked scamorza), this new Fort Worth restaurant\u2019s menu will offer a blend of traditional and chef-driven dishes.<\/p>\n
Felina will also host a wood-fired brick oven imported from Italy.<\/p>\n
One Trick Pony Pizza Tavern<\/p>\n
313 South Main Street<\/p>\n
The former home to Hot Box Biscuit Club is set to reopen under new ownership and a bold new vision. One Trick Pony Pizza Tavern will be helmed by Travis and Emma Heim. The former craft barbecue restaurant owners have a martini and pizza restaurant in mind for 313 S. Main Street in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
The co-owners plan to focus on Chicago thin-crust pies, also known as \u201ctavern style.\u201d Think crispier than traditional New York-style pizza and with a thinner crust.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn\u2019s<\/p>\n
401 South Main Street<\/p>\n
With an expansive menu and prime location on South Main Street, Brooklyn\u2019s will add to an already rich dining scene in Fort Worth\u2019s Near Southside neighborhood. The restaurant spans everything from elevated American food to Asian-inspired favorites. Classics like the Philly cheesesteak and originals like the bulgogi wrap are crafted to appeal to a wide range of tastes while still feeling rooted in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Seared<\/p>\n
4006 White Settlement Road<\/p>\n
While Fort Worth bid adieu to Pearl Snap Kolaches earlier this year, life is coming back to 4006 White Settlement Road with the forthcoming opening of Seared. The classic steakhouse will offer a prix fixe menu, decadent desserts, and high-end cocktails.<\/p>\n
The menu will offer filet mignon, tomahawk steak, and other choice cuts at a $45 to$50 flat price, complete with a salad, a side, and unlimited fries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
