Lili's Bistro on Magnolila
Lili's Bistro on Magnolia/Facebook

Veteran Fort Worth restaurateur Vance Martin opened Lili's in 2007, an early settler in a storefront on Magnolia Avenue. Named for his daughter, Lili's does dinner and lovely lunch, with a menu that's been described as "unpretentious global cuisine." Hummus and tabouleh sit side-by-side on the menu with nachos, Thai pork dumplings, and signature waffle fries topped with Gorgonzola cheese. A big vegetarian selection includes tacos made with tempeh.
