The 14 Best Bars for a First Date in Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"The inside of Montrose Cheese & Wine in, well, Montrose, feels exactly like what it is: the inside of a cheese shop. But the leafy green patio could easily be in Paris or Modena or Barcelona, where time stretches and bends slowly, especially after a glass or two of June’s rosé. The food here also plays into the fantasy. What’s hedonism if not feeding your date fresh grapes, wildflower honey, soft cheeses, and cured meats? Lean into the escapism under the patio’s scalloped awnings, and lose yourself to the twinkly French pop music, glasses of lambrusco—oh, and your date." - chelsea thomas
