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

"This Michelin-starred restaurant has served Houston diners in the heart of Montrose for a decade with a combination of traditional and modern Spanish fare. Newcomers will be wowed by its intricate version of patatas bravas, which has cylinder-shaped molded potatoes topped with dollops of aioli, and its vast menu of gin and tonic cocktails. BCN classics include crispy-skinned suckling Ibérico pig “a la Segoviana,” served with cherry for an added sweetness; grilled branzino with an airy mayonnaise foam; and octopus perched over potato puree with olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. The ravioli, filled with Ibérico ham and leek compote and topped with porcini mushroom sauce and manchego cheese, is a sleeper hit. End with the warm, crispy filo dough, filled with a cool Catalán vanilla creme. Best for: Most diners would say that this intimate restaurant is a great date night spot, and though accurate, it’s also a nice spot for dining solo. Reserve a seat at the bar to enjoy a wonderful meal while chatting it up with your neighbors and BCN’s talented bartenders. They’ll make some excellent suggestions." - Brittany Britto Garley
