"There are museum restaurants, and then there is Le Jardinier. Located in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, or MFAH, this sleek hotspot offers French-leaning chef-driven dishes, a polished brunch menu, casual bar bites, and a seasonal expression-tasting menu experience all under one roof. The restaurant’s culinary technique and attention to detail are apparent in every artfully plated dish — from its fois gras parfait, garnished with a combination of figs and seasonal berries and served with sourdough, to its Dover sole, prepared for two, with romesco, summer squash, and beurre blanc." - Brittany Britto Garley

The beef burger ($32) served with the pommes dauphine is also a perfect pairing. The menu extends to desserts, too, with fine options like the $12 creme brulee and baba au rhum created by Le Jardinier’s pastry chef Tiffani Ann Gkaris.
