Houston Restaurant Week Is Your Chance to Try These Award-Winning Spots
Despite its name, Houston Restaurant Week runs from August 1 to September 1, and this year's list of participating spots is extremely long. Some of the most award-winning restaurants in the city are on board, giving diners a chance to try their plates for a discounted price, with $5 of the cost of a $55 three-course dinner benefitting the Houston Food Bank.
Our recommendation: use this as a chance to visit some of the city's most awarded restaurants, especially if you haven't gotten to them yet. We pulled together a list of Michelin-starred spots and Eater Award winners from this decade, looked over their $55 per person dinner deals, and included a list of what we would order from the offerings.
4210 Roseland Street in Houston
For our first course, we would get the Patatas Bravas BCN with spicy oil and aioli. The second course has to be grilled duck breast served with quince, Idiazábal cheese sauce, pine nuts, and a balsamic vinegar reduction. We'd finish with a third course of Tarta de Santiago, an almond cake with homemade lemon marmalade.
5500 Main Street, Suite 122 in Houston
First course of cured salmon with melon, creme fraîche, marinated cucumber, and croutons. Second course of Green Circle chicken with shallot coulis, haricot vert, and cashew chili crunch. Finish with a third course of caramel sabayon made with Valrhona Guanaja dark chocolate cremeux and salty caramel sabayon.
9061 Gaylord Drive, Suite 200 in Houston
At this restaurant, which we coined as the place we'd most want to be a regular last year, we would start with the chilled corn soup with poblano, lime creme fraiche, and chilli oil. Second course has to be branzino with succotash, romesco, and radish. We'd end with the chocolate mousse with miso caramel and a flourless biscuit.
3001 South Shepherd Drive in Houston
It's all about the seafood at our 2023 best new restaurant winner, and we'd go hard on Texas options. For the first course, we would go for the Gulf shrimp and andouille gumbo with potato salad. Second has to be the Texas redfish served with heirloom tomato sauce vierge. Finally, end with the tropical rum parfait with spiced rum cake, coconut chantilly, and mango pineapple compote.
3 Waterway Square Place, Unit 100 in The Woodlands
The chicken tikki sampler is the place to start at our 2023 Restaurant of the Year. Second, we'd order the Malabar prawn curry with coconut kokum sauce. We'd finish with the cardamom chocolate mousse served with jaggery caramel.
