Montrose remains Houston s healthiest food paradise. This is where the city s elite chefs play, opening big-money concepts that dot Westheimer Road and vie for your evening attention. But along with the James Beard bait are some of the city s most beloved stalwarts and comfort-food standbys. No matter your choice, you really can t go wrong.
Here is our run through the best of Montrose:
The former L Olivier is a wine-focused French bistro with filling, rustic dishes, like chicken with Robuchon potatoes and crispy pork belly with spuds and arugula. There s also a 44 Farms burger and snacks, like pickled veggies and a Dairymaids cheese and charcuterie plate, for those wanting something a bit more noshable. Avondale also doubles as your favorite bottle shop, thanks to a superior selection of labels from Burgundy, the Rhône Valley, and Beaujolais, plus fun finds from Napa Valley and Sonoma.
