Fooq's

Chef Fuad Fuad's Design District mainstay turns Mediterranean comfort food into something worth dressing up for.

The shakshuka arrives bubbling in its skillet, eggs barely set over a tomato base spiked with harissa heat, and it's reason enough to book ahead. Bright tile floors and gallery-adjacent energy set the tone for a menu that moves confidently between Israeli, Lebanese, and Turkish influences without losing focus. Come for weekend brunch when the patio fills with Design District regulars, but the dinner menu—heavier on lamb and char-grilled things—deserves its own visit.

Best for: Design District brunch with friends or a lingering weekday lunch
