Some of the most award-winning restaurants in the city are on board, giving diners a chance to try their plates for a discounted price, with $5 of the cost of a $55 three-course dinner benefitting the Houston Food Bank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Our recommendation: use this as a chance to visit some of the city\u2019s most awarded restaurants, especially if you haven\u2019t gotten to them yet. We pulled together a list of Michelin-starred spots and Eater Award winners from this decade, looked over their $55 per person dinner deals, and included a list of what we would order from the offerings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">4210 Roseland Street in Houston<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">For our first course, we would get the Patatas Bravas BCN with spicy oil and aioli. The second course has to be grilled duck breast served with quince, Idiaz\u00e1bal cheese sauce, pine nuts, and a balsamic vinegar reduction. We\u2019d finish with a third course of Tarta de Santiago, an almond cake with homemade lemon marmalade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">5500 Main Street, Suite 122 in Houston<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">First course of cured salmon with melon, creme fra\u00eeche, marinated cucumber, and croutons. Second course of Green Circle chicken with shallot coulis, haricot vert, and cashew chili crunch. Finish with a third course of caramel sabayon made with Valrhona Guanaja dark chocolate cremeux and salty caramel sabayon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">9061 Gaylord Drive, Suite 200 in Houston<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">At this restaurant, which we coined as the place we\u2019d most want to be a regular last year, we would start with the chilled corn soup with poblano, lime creme fraiche, and chilli oil. Second course has to be branzino with succotash, romesco, and radish. We\u2019d end with the chocolate mousse with miso caramel and a flourless biscuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">3001 South Shepherd Drive in Houston<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">It\u2019s all about the seafood at our 2023 best new restaurant winner, and we\u2019d go hard on Texas options. For the first course, we would go for the Gulf shrimp and andouille gumbo with potato salad. Second has to be the Texas redfish served with heirloom tomato sauce vierge. Finally, end with the tropical rum parfait with spiced rum cake, coconut chantilly, and mango pineapple compote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">3 Waterway Square Place, Unit 100 in The Woodlands<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">The chicken tikki sampler is the place to start at our 2023 Restaurant of the Year. Second, we\u2019d order the Malabar prawn curry with coconut kokum sauce. We\u2019d finish with the cardamom chocolate mousse served with jaggery caramel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite its name, Houston Restaurant Week runs from August 1 to September 1, and this year\u2019s list of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":110568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5130],"tags":[24096,4345,358,3187],"class_list":{"0":"post-110567","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-dining-out-in-houston","9":"tag-houston","10":"tag-texas","11":"tag-tx"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114954197366993889","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
