Brennan’s of Houston

Top choice in Houston


The most famous name in New Orleans cooking runs this refined restaurant in Midtown. No mere offshoot, it’s a culinary temple all of its own, blending New Orleans flavors with Texas. Ingredients are uber fresh and the menu changes with the seasons. Service is excellent and the dining room elegant. Reserve in advance for a table in the beautiful courtyard.
