Hey guys and gals

I'm here for a couple of days and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some local hidden gems that you may not know of unless you live here

Thanks

Houston is one of the world's great food cities. From fine dining to local ethnic neighborhood spots, you can find whatever you need. Restaurants are everywhere, but the better places are concentrated in a corridor stretching from downtown directly west. There is also good dining in the outlying areas like the Woodlands and Sugarland.

Best Restaurants
Reef (Midtown) - Seafood from celeb chef Bryan Caswell
Haven (Upper Kirby) - Seafood, southern
Tony's (Greenway plaza) - High-end Italian and French, society/celeb hangout
Mark's (Inner Westheimer) - New American cuisine
Hugo's (Inner Westheimer) - Real Mexican cuisine (not Tex-Mex)
Da Marco (Inner Westheimer) - Italian
Catalan (Washington Ave) - New American cuisine

Higher-end Steakhouses
Pappas Bros (Galleria) - Best steaks in town
Vic & Anthony's (Galleria) - Second best steaks
Strip House (Downtown) - Cool burlesque atmosphere
Sullivan's (Galleria) - Major pick-up spot
Mo's (Galleria) - Major sugar daddy / sugar baby hangout

Mexican
Chuy's (Upper Kirby) - Fun atmosphere, good Austin-style Tex-Mex
Mama Ninfa's (East Side) - Go-to spot for Tex-Mex
Lupe Tortilla's (All over) - Fantastic fajitas
Pappasito's (All over) - Everything is good

Italian
Dolce Vita (Inner Westheimer) - Italian-style pizzas
Maggiano's (Galleria) - Traditional Italian
Ciao Bello (Galleria) - Italian, focused on seafood
Laurenzo's (Washington Ave) - Modern Italian
Stella Sola (Heights) - Texas/Italian

Finger Lickin' on Bissonet

Love the choices you have listed Ms . Beau. Taught some folks math today feeling hungry again....though seeing the list...

Go to either Pass and Provisions or Underbelly. Outstanding and few mention. Common Bond on Westheimer in the Monroe area is the greatest pastry place you will ever visit. Just to die for

Hi jules if you like gourmet tacos then go to velvet tacos on Shepard off of i10. Something real simple but great atmosphere....

Thanks y'all

I really like the little hole in the wall places
