The community bistro concept features a playful but focused approach to food: stylistically contemporary French cuisine with a lighter fare. The menu centers around a wood burning Josper oven with a flair for seafood, featuring a boisterous wine selection and heavy pour cocktail program. The kitchen is led by executive chef Kent Domas, previously of The Classic, Alice Blue, and Bernadine’s.
"Eau Tour, the latest concept from lauded Houston restaurateur Benjy Levit, opened this summer, but its brunch service is brand-spanking new. As of November 5, Sunday brunch is offered from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a series of new dishes, including croque madame with ham, Emmental cheese, and fried egg; pain perdu with creme anglaise, chantilly, and berries; and a dedicated brunch cocktail menu with a bloody mary, coffee Old Fashioned, and a salt and pepper martini." - Eater Staff
"This contemporary French bistro in Rice Village offers a twist on the traditional beef burger, layering two short rib and duck patties, ground and formed in-house, with grilled onions, gruyere, and a special sauce. And in true Eau Tour tradition, the delicate sesame-seeded brioche bun is also homemade. Bonus: Score the burger as a “happy meal” with a side of fries and Kronenbourg 1664 lager for $18 during Eau Tour’s happy hour, which runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday." - Minh Truong, Brittany Britto Garley
"Located in the same building as sister concepts Local Foods, Local Foods Market, and Lees Den, Eau Tour is Benjy Levit’s playful take on a modern French eatery. The menu has range, with dishes like escargot, chicken liver mousse, duck confit, and a double cheeseburger built with house ground patties made of short rib and duck, plus desserts like sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
"This trendy Rice Village restaurant offers happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with a host of specially priced cocktails, bottles of wine, and various dishes, including confit duck wings and its Happy Meal, which pairs a juicy burger made with a blend of brisket and duck, and fries, with a Kronenbourg Brewery 1664 lager." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
"When: Tue-Sun 4-6pm The Deal: $10 cocktails, $1 gulf coast oysters, $8 duck confit wings During Happy Hour at Eau Tour in Rice Village, you should get the crispy duck confit wings and some baked mussels, or go full throttle into happiness and order an ET Happy Meal, which comes with a burger, lager, and fries. And there’s nothing quite as fancy as sipping a $7 martini on a golden stool as you throw back $1 oysters to your heart's content." - Chelsea Thomas, Gianni Greene
