Meridian has launched a new fall and winter menu at its 5650 Village Glen Drive location. The shift marks a transition from patio dining to hearth-focused cuisine as temperatures drop in Dallas.
Why it matters
The seasonal menu update reflects the restaurant's ongoing commitment to highlighting regional agriculture. By pivoting to colder weather ingredients, the kitchen adapts its live-fire cooking style to seasonal harvests from North Texas farms.
The new seasonal menu includes items such as Honeynut Squash and Braised Short Rib Cappelletti prepared on a central hearth. Ingredients are sourced from local farms in Rockwall, Winona, and Cooper, including producers like Millbrook Mushrooms and Rosewood Wagyu.
