The Hit List: New Houston Restaurants To Try Right Now - Houston - The Infatuation

"Many hyped-up restaurants in Autry Park have hit the scene lately, with few worth the $8 parking. But Annam stands out. The Montrose spot serves Vietnamese food with a bit of French inspiration throughout the restaurant. Servers pour fish sauce tableside in a dining room with intricate archways that mimic French architecture. But beyond the atmosphere, the food is actually good. The citrus broth surrounding the steamed mussels will inspire rogue dunks just to re-experience the flavor. And by the time you reach the last few bites of your lychee and mango mousse cake, you’ll find even the tiny serving spoons admirable. It’s easy to buy into the charm of Annam." - brooke viggiano, mai pham, nicolai mccrary, andrew ryce, gianni greene, chelsea thomas
