The Best French Restaurants in Houston

"This Rice Village brasserie is a great spot to grab classic French fare, with small plates like escargot and foie gras terrine, and rich dishes like cassoulet, boeuf à la Bourguignonne, and its tender roasted rack of lamb served with a honey-thyme brown sauce. Choose from its extensive wine list, which features more than 600 varieties of wine, and then, settle into the cozy dining room and pretend you're in Paris. Order the profiteroles. You won’t regret it." - Brittany Britto Garley
