The 38 Best Restaurants in Houston, Spring 2025 | Eater Houston

"Price: $$$$ Find beautiful, exhibit-worthy dishes at this Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant that’s tucked into the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Chef Felipe Botero creates an inventive menu that displays seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and locally sourced meats and seafood that are pleasing to both the eye and palate, like the Spanish rabbit tortellini served in a parmesan cream, pea ricotta ravioli, and roasted lamb chops served with a spring casserole. Looking for something quicker? Try the restaurant’s bar bites menu, which features smoked trout dip with potato chips and roe, its decadent wagyu burger topped with Gruyere, and an extensive cocktail menu (including nonalcoholic options). If you drive: The museum offers valet and garage parking, the most convenient option, at a reduced rate for those dining at Le Jardinier. Parking for MFAH members is free." - Brittany Britto Garley
