Here’s a list of my favorite restaurants in Houston.
- La Griglia
- Goode Company Cantina
- Katami (I love sushi)
- Brasserie 19
La Griglia
A Houston favorite for over 30 years, La Griglia offers guests authentic Italian dining in the Montrose neighborhood. The upscale environment, impeccable service, and authentic Italian cuisine combine to create a distinct recipe for an afternoon or evening to be enjoyed by all at your favorite Italian hotspot.
Goode Company Cantina
Sunup through sundown, help yourself to menus teeming with authentic Mexican food and smoky South Texas staples, garden-crisp salads and wood-fired seafood dishes that deftly fuse the flavors of Texas, Mexico, and Gulf Coast cooking. A few margaritas on our patio, and you’ve found your new casa sweet casa.
Katami
Four-time James Beard Award-nominated chef Manabu Horiuchi, (Chef Hori- San) Partner Yun Cheng and Managing Partner Ryan Snyder have opened a sushi, wagyu, and sake-focused restaurant in Montrose.
Katami, a name that translates to “gift” or “keepsake” in Japanese, represents what Chef Hori-San believes is the future of Japanese cuisine in America. It is his gift to the city of Houston, for the love you have shown him over the 15 years since he and Yun introduced our sister restaurant, Kata Robata.
Brasserie 19
Where rosés are d’ rigeur during the hot summer months and serious reds are quaffed by the River Oaks crowd that likes classic brasserie style French food. Oysters on the half shell, Frisee Salad topped poached egg and lardon, Filet Frites and the Trout Almondine remain the perennial favorites.
