What are the famous foods in Houston?

Inspired by Hua Hua Xia's crash guide, I think writing a restaurant guide, especially now that I am facing the pressure of unemployment every day, I don't know how long I can stay in Houston, so I should leave some character for the benefit of the people first. You can choose more when you come to Houston in the future, and you don't have to go to China for dinner. I believe all the restaurants in China City are well known, so I won't go into details here, just talking about other countries, regions and flavors. I only say authentic &; The exotic restaurant chef must be from that country, and the English spoken by the waiter is also the accent of that country. It's better that even the little brother who helps you park is from that country. Everyone goes to Google for the specific location of each restaurant, so I won't play slowly.

Make a background introduction first. Houston, Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States (the top three are new york, LA and Chicago). Located in the center of harris county, Rocket City is also the economic center of the metropolitan area composed of Houston, Sugar Land and Bedon. This is the sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States with a total population of about 6 million. Due to the oil industry and shipping industry, Houston has a very diverse population, with immigrants and temporary workers from all over the world. The diversity of population has also brought many exotic restaurants to Houston.

Restaurants are generally divided into the following grades (from high to low): high-end & gt leisure & gt counter & gt fast food. There is also a restaurant called Café, which has a high grade. High-end restaurants are very expensive, and there is a dress code and parking service. Dress code, that is, dress code, the minimum requirements are men's trousers, leather shoes and collared shirts, such as Polo shirts and shirts. Ladies evening dress, trousers, long skirt, etc. Many high-end restaurants don't accept jeans. I suggest you surf the Internet or make a phone call before you go. Valet parking usually pays 5 dollars when picking up the car. For each restaurant, I will also give an approximate amount of consumption. For the high-end market, this figure includes appetizers, main courses, desserts and wine, excluding parking and consumption. If you only want one main course, the estimated consumption is about 50%-60% of the figure I gave. Other types of restaurants are not so complicated, and the prices are basically staple foods. There is a small detail. When eating in a western restaurant, don't put napkins that are being used or have been used on the table until everyone at the table has finished eating. That's all nonsense. Now let's introduce the tastes one by one. Students are also welcome to share. It is best to brush into the network of Rice University and University of Houston.

French

I have been a chef in TAMU's restaurant for over 65,438+0 years, making pasta and pizza. The sequela is that I have a slight rejection of Italian food, so French food has become my favorite western food. There are three top authentic French restaurants in Houston, all recommended by the company's French customers. Let me tell you one by one.

Rabelais Cafe and Beer Shop Max &；; Julie is owned by a boss and has two styles. I have only been to Max &；; Julie. So let's talk about Max &；; Julie, this is a fancy restaurant, but it's strange that we went in jeans last time, so I don't know what the dress code is. This store is the more expensive of the two stores, and it costs about $70 to order it from beginning to end. Of course, it doesn't have to be all. There is a special piece in her menu called regional, which has selected 8 to 10 kinds of delicacies from various regions of France, including chicken, duck and fish, and the price is about $25. I strongly recommend trying their foie gras and roast duck. If you don't know what red wine to choose, the little brother in charge of wine here is Nicholas, and he will give you advice. Okay, let's talk about one more. The reason why I didn't go to Café Rebelais is that no one went with me. This restaurant is the most romantic restaurant in Houston, eating candlelight dinners and selling emotional appeal. Menu and max &；; Julie's difference is that it's cheaper (I personally prefer Max &；; Julie), the specialty of this store is oysters, the only one in Max&; Julie can't eat. Recommend a man to take your potential girlfriend to romance, and then make a deal. But you must make sure that you can make a deal, otherwise the investment will be wasted.

The third, last and latest French restaurant claims to be the best French restaurant in Houston: Le Mistral. This shop is run by two brothers from the south of France. I said the south of France, and no one felt it. If I say they are from Provence, it is estimated that many children will sigh: Ah, Provence, petty bourgeoisie! Ahem, suit yourself. This shop is located in the west of Houston where the oil company is located. Their target customers are Europeans working in Houston oil area, so you can hear the chirping in other languages besides English. The natural price will be high. With drinks from beginning to end, it costs 80 dollars for one person. There is a very interesting section on the menu. Take a little of each of the four dishes and put them together for about 50 yuan. My suggestion is that if two people come to eat, choose two from the main course (each dish is authentic and delicious) and add an additional dish: snail de bourgogne, which is to put it bluntly, roasted snail. This is the only restaurant in Houston where snails can be eaten, but the fee for two people including parking tips is about 100 USD. So before inviting, ask yourself how much you love her, haha. If you don't love her so much, you can take her to this store for lunch, which is also delicious, but much cheaper.

Spanish

Leaving Provence, we crossed the Pyrenees to Spain. There seem to be only four famous Spanish restaurants in Houston, all of which are very expensive, on the same level as Le Mistral. It's a pity that I haven't been there, because I always feel that if I spend so much money, I have to go to a real Italian or French restaurant. But one of them has been coveted for a long time and we hope to try it in late July. It's called Catalan You can tell by the name. It's Catalonia The main course of this shop was changed to American, so it didn't receive any special praise. However, the small plates they shared were very interesting, and three of them were highly praised: one was foie gras bon bons, fried foie gras; One is to roast Berkshire pork belly with sugar cane syrup and pour sugar cane juice on fried pork; There is also roast mutton stuffed with piquillo pepper, a red sweet pepper from northern Spain, stuffed with roast mutton. The above three add up to only 30 yuan, which is definitely enough for two people. The staple food such as beef or fish in the supermarket is about 30 yuan, so it seems that this place is very suitable for going with friends, so that the latter two can be settled separately. Another Spanish restaurant is called rioja. Their food is average, but the main dish is Spanish red wine. Try it if you like. Huahuaxia told me about a Tio Pepe. I've never heard of it at all, and I don't know how it happened.

Italian

After leaving Barcelona, we set sail to the east and came to Italy. This country has the sexiest women, the most luxurious cars, the ugliest football, the stupidest prime minister, the most evil gangs and perhaps the most delicious food.

Da Marco is regarded as the best restaurant in Houston and of course the best Italian restaurant. Some food reviews even think that this is one of the best Italian restaurants in North America, and it is naturally a high-end restaurant. Chef Marco Wiles is from northern Italy, but the food on the menu comes from all over Italy and is worth a try. Salad is very special. Artichoke Alan Judea is based on the formula of ancient Roman Judaism. The main course is grilled fish (for a while, the word for this fish on the menu was branzino or spigola, but I don't know what it is called now). Of course, Italian restaurants need spaghetti. The special feature here is that pasta is a jiaozi made of ricotta cheese, eggs and truffles. You can also try to make pasta into dessert. If you order the above dish, it will cost about $75, which seems to be enough for two people (if you have a big stomach, it may be dessert or staple food). Lunch is a good deal. The three dishes cost about 25 yuan, which is not as colorful as the main meal, but the taste is very authentic.

There are many Italian restaurants in Houston, but there are only four truly top-notch restaurants, and only two of them are completely original. In addition to the above, the other one is Dolce Vita. The location of this shop is very casual, so don't bother to dress up. You can come when Wellcome has finished shopping. Personally, I prefer this store to Da Marco, because her menu is always changing, and there are special dishes to provide customers with special foods from various regions of Italy every day. Completely loyal to the original flavor, uncompromising American taste. Under this premise, the most valuable thing is that the price of each staple food is around $ 15, so you can eat them all at any time without worrying about maxing out your card.
