"For a modern riff on French-inspired Belgian cuisine with an enticing patio, head to the River Oaks outpost of this renowned cafe and bar. Start with the caviar tacos — a fun yet upscale combination of caviar, crispy potatoes, ahi tuna, lemon oil, and chives topped with a dollop of crème fraiche. Then, choose between the showstopping Dover sole meuniere, prepared table-side with seasonal vegetables, roasted potatoes, and a white wine lemon sauce, or the duck confit, a French staple served with a sweet potato mousseline, caramelized apples, and an orange cognac reduction. Visit on Monday or Tuesday for half-priced bottles of French wine, on the weekends for brunch and half-priced bottles of rose, or on Thursday and Friday for its live music." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
