The 10 Best French Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Cafe Rabelais in Rice Village is tailored for an intimate, quiet meal and is small enough to feel cozy but not cramped. This space seems designed for reclining at a wooden table with escargots swimming in garlic butter. And if the bottles lining every available wall or the textbook masquerading as a bottle list wasn’t indication enough, the folks at this French bistro take their wine seriously. With literally hundreds to choose from, you can scour the pages for the exact varietal you’re looking for or let your server take the helm. Whatever you decide to sip on, pair it with some mussels in a rich cream sauce for a Parisian countryside feel." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
