Cozy French bistro with wood-fired oven & classic dishes
"We love many things about this charming little bistro on Memorial. The minute you walk into the old Bistro Provence space, you’re met with small wood tables filled with regulars sharing conversations over baked escargots bathed in garlic and parsley butter cooked in a wood-burning oven. A sharable bowl of fresh mussels with white wine cream sauce is the ultimate sopping up broth-together date dish, but like a delectable sloppy two-years-in date, not a first date. And the night's biggest surprise is how this French bistro serves a great pizza. The decadence of the perfectly crisped pork belly and sharp parmesan on the la carbonara makes this French restaurant a hidden pizza destination." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"The Deal: Two-course lunch for $25 per person, a three-course dinner for $39 per person, and an option for takeout Why We Like It: HRW is the best time to walk into this charming little bistro on Memorial, where people on dates drink crisp French whites at small wooden tables. For lunch, dinner, or takeout, Bistro 555 is offering its summer classics, from a gazpacho with a dollop of creamy goat cheese fig bruschetta to its black tiger prawn brochettes on saffron risotto. And if you're looking to take a dish home, this French restaurant makes a great pizza. Order the la carbonara, topped with sharp parmesan and crisped pork belly, for the perfect way to end your night." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"Trying to learn French? Look no further than the menu at this Westside French destination. Inspired by cafes of the French countryside, expect homey dishes such as the cassolette de langouste — a heartwarming lobster pot pie with portobello mushrooms and saffron rice, or le steak au Poivre de luc — a classic entree made with beef tenderloin and a cognac green peppercorn sauce. Save some room for the profiteroles — one of the few spots on this list to offer this puff pastry delight." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
"The French can make anything romantic, even bad weather. Bistro 555 is a quaint bistro in West Houston that whisks you away to the French countryside. Dine in the cozy dining room, or grab a table on the covered front patio area, and enjoy traditional French dishes like boeuf bourguignon." - Minh Truong
