Tex Mex

El Tiempo Cantina - Joan's favorite casual tex mex spot. Check out either the Richmond or Westheimer location. No reservation needed, great for lunch.

Armandos - Another tex mex staple but make it fancy. Reservations recommended, great for dinner.

Boozy Brunch

Brasserie 19 - Great spot to enjoy oysters, wine, & delicious French food. We recommend sitting on the patio.

A'Bouzy - Name says it all - fun modern French restaurant, make sure you have them open a bottle of champagne for you.

Liberty Kitchen - Delicious seafood spot right by the St. Regis - great for dinner as well.

Just Lunch

Local Foods - Joan's favorite lunch spot - more casual, order at the counter with great sandwiches and salads. Recommend the Kirby location.

Tiny Boxwoods - Cute neighborhood brunch spot tucked away with a gorgeous patio. Make sure you try the cookies!

Kenny & Ziggy's - If you're REALLY hungry, try this New York deli with beyond generous portions. Located near the Galleria.

Sushi

Uchi - Famous sushi spot with some of our favorite bites. Reservations recommended.

Kata Robata - Contemporary spot with sushi & Japanese small plates.

Texas BBQ

The Pit Room - Amazing BBQ next to a bar with a patio. Great place to hang out on Saturday!
