Pillar, an American bistro in the Bishop Arts District from chef-owner Peja Krstic, has opened in the former Boulevardier location.
The restaurant space was French bistro Boulevardier and Spanish eatery Cafe Madrid and will now be the home of Pillar.
Krstic’s other restaurant, Michelin-awarded Mot Hai Ba, is in Lakewood.
Highlights of menu at Pillar, according to D Magazine, include tuna carpaccio, grilled leeks, fried chicken, fries, and duck, leek and bacon pot pie. The interior of the 98-year-old building features antique photos and books.
According to the Dallas Morning News, the name “Pillar” came to Krstic after he visited Ernest Hemingway’s House in Key West, Florida, and saw a photo of the author’s boat, Pilar. Krstic set out to open a seafood restaurant named after Hemingway’s boat, but the restaurant seemed more natural as an American eatery and Pilar became Pillar.
