In downtown,

Downtown- IN the city- HOUSTON IS HUGE DUDE!
This is a huge international city, so try everything.
Veitamese- Van Loch $ or Mai's $ (open till 2am) on Milan south of Elgin/Westheimer [Spring rolls with peanut sauce a must! Wonton soup, Pho and Boun) OR Kim Son- daily lunch buffett (traditional chinese favorites-Orange or Sesame Chicken is great) All very reasonable $--$$
James Coney Island- hotdogs & chilii- $ its great to catch the train and get ya a dog, at lunch time. [A regular coney all the way with a delaware punch. trust me. Its a dawg to love.]
You will wait in line at these and its worth the wait. Both honored on FOOD network "Locals favorite places to eat"
Elmas- mexican "rustic" lunch only $$, you don't get a menu, you get what you get and its good! [enchilandas made in heaven]
Thelma's- soul food & BBQ- "lunch" only $$ once again- come hungry this place rocks and its not fancy at all, its home cookin at its best. [BBQ bisket or chicken with greens or okra- slap your mamma good!] BE straving hungry its tons of food.
Massos- Seafood $$$$ on Smith [fish dishes- crusted Salmon]
The Aquariam- fun, adventure and $$$, Landry's food (chain) and its fancy but its not great, its is just good, not my choice except to "show off" the view of my city. [fried seafood, great desserts] I would just do coffee and desserts and walk and enjoy a fun night.
Pappa's BBQ- on St Joseph Prkway $$ [ribs, brisket real good- the beans are also homecooked]
MONTROSE AREA Westheimer/Montrose
Its worth a little drive-
Ruggles- fine dining-$$$$ come hungry for dinner and dessert[traditional American menu- "jack sack" dessert for choco freaks]
Kaplins- Jewish Deli restruant $$- 24 hours [Rueban and cheesecake] Montzi balls soup- weak if you want Jewish (Galleria area has the best)
Nikko Nikko's- Greek $$ this is one of the very best in the city. {Lamb/chicken giro with paprika potatoes and a beer) Perfect meal. It is a favorite place and won tons of prizes.
Places IN places-
Fine arts museum- Cafe Express- great salads, light pasta
Hyatt Regency- sky resturant- its old and still good.
Booze is where the money is made, so drink Iced tea or regular brewed coffee, its always refillable at all the above, soda may not be. Take cash to the "local favorites" its faster. Credit card foks wait longer to "get out of there" and trust me the folks staring at you in hunger for that table can be unnerving.
$- 5-10 per plate of item
$$10- 15 per plate or item
$$$ 15-20 per plate or item
$$$ 25+ per plate or item
Most places in Houston are casual, do wear a shirt and long pants, closed toe shoes (not flip flops) You can gos most anywhere. WE LOVE TO EAT and the service is friendly and casual, so don't expect NYC service here. That doesnt happen!
Have fun- Be brave- ask any stranger- they WILL tell you their favorite place. No lie- we love to eat and will tell you or even show you where it is.

I recommend Bistro Provence. It is small restaurant located on Memorial Drive just about a block from Wilcrest. (about two blocks outside Beltway 8) It's a little pricey and rightfully so it was AWESOME. My wife and I consider it the best dinner we have ever had in Houston. Small, cozy, friendly. A wood fired oven they make their bread in. Excellent wine list. Typically french cuisine but wood fired pizza available. You won't be sorry. Try the creme brulle.

i would be unable to have self assurance that have been given deleted in the previous. this may appear overly hassle-free, yet I had an Abita Root Beer. It grew to become into spectacular. i don't often drink sodas yet I do like a nicely-made root beer on uncommon social gathering and that i only had one this night and it grew to become into particularly the manage.
