Is there a such thing as the perfect drink?! The a Is there a such thing as the perfect drink?! The answer is YES and it is only at @bistro31dallas! It’s called the Chanel No.31 and it has peach infused vodka, pineapple juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, topped with champagne! 

Located in the center of Highland Park. Bistro31 is just so adorable! There is a fully covered patio and tables right in front of the restaurant. I prefer that option especially during the Texas winter! 😉

Just FYI if you haven’t been to this restaurant yet just know that @lounge31dallas is on the second floor and Bistro31 is on the first.

This beautiful restaurant is located in Miami, FL! It has club like vibes, elegant atmosphere and delicious food!! It is one of those “must visit” places if you’re in town! It is the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion. This place just screams Miami to me, there are good looking people everywhere you turn! 

The menu is full of unique dishes but a few things I would recommend ordering is the grilled szechuan beef, truffle honey salmon, kimchi fried rice, and for dessert the Japanese cheesecake!
