At this chef’s counter in Texas, it’s all about dessert—and it just nabbed a rather sweet accolade.

Nicōsi, which opened its doors last June under the helm of executive chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph and his chef de cuisine, Karla Espinosa, has been awarded its first Michelin star. Located inside San Antonio’s Pullman Market, Nicōsi is one of only three Lone Star State restaurants to earn its first Michelin star this year at the guide’s second-annual restaurant selection in Houston last night. That brings the total number of starred restaurants in Texas to 18.

Though you wouldn’t be served only confections at Nicōsi. The eight-course tasting menu there will take you through dishes both sweet, bitter, acidic, and savory, with new offerings swapped in throughout the year. That could include bites like a beef short rib crowned with cotton candy or powdered sugar and caviar with gold leaf (though the chef’s counter doesn’t allow phones or pictures, so each time you dine it’s truly a surprise.)

Pullman Market’s accolades weren’t done. The food hall that was founded by chefs and business partners Bristol-Joseph and Kevin Fink earned another Michelin star for Nicōsi’s neighbor Isidore. The restaurant is focused on American cuisine set within its midcentury-modern decor. Here, it’s all about local ingredients and traditions, which seep into dishes like Cherokee tomato in a house-made kombucha and a dry-aged Berkshire pork chop with a 23-spice sauce. And the last new entrant onto Texas’s Michelin list is Mamani, a hot spot of French contemporary food in Dallas. Here, chef Christophe De Lellis serves up plates like Dover sole with brown butter and veal “Cordon Bleu” accompanied by Robuchon’s signature butter-laden pommes purée.

“This year’s Texas selection emphasizes the many talents across your communities who continue to rise above with culinary innovation and passion that is palpable,” said Gwendal Poullennec, the Michelin Guide’s international direction, said in a statement. But the Lone Star State will have to wait another year before seeing if any of its restaurants can rise above the one-star level.
