2 restaurants opened in the Des Moines area between March 31, 2026 and April 29, 2026, going by the opening date recorded on each listing.
A restaurant is listed here when the opening date on its listing falls in the past 12 months and it is not closed or still marked as opening soon. The date we added a place to the site is not used, because most listings were added long after the place opened. 10 more places are marked new or announced without a confirmed, sourced date, so they are left off until one is recorded.
