Top Best French Restaurants in Cypress

"Chef Philippe Verpiand decided to relocate from San Diego to Houston—where wife and operations manager Monica Bui has family—to open Étoile, and up the city’s Gallic game with his splendid takes on classic French dishes. There are two menus here: traditional, featuring dishes such as coq au vin and sole amandine, and seasonal, where Verpiand showcases his inventive side with offerings such as braised short ribs with butternut squash mousseline. For dessert, it’s hard to pass up the fondant au chocolat with its gooey, warm filling, an elegant contrast to the mango gel and coconut ice cream that comes with it."

"What better romance than a refined French dinner with an earthy wine list, top notch service and a rustic yet elegant atmosphere?. In this French fine dining favorite, you will be kept away from the whole new world of cuisine in a completely new way to mark your special occasion. Be sure to pair the wine and try the Baisque de Homard (Lobster Bisque) or Escargot Borgugen (Snails in Parsley and Garlic Butter) to get started."

"Paris is always a good idea, but if you can’t whisk your date off to France, you can do the next best thing and take them to a French restaurant. Channelling the vibe of the City of Love, Étoile Cuisine et Bar on Uptown Park Boulevard oozes Parisian sophistication. It seduces with its charms and delectable food and wine."

"Casually elegant Brasserie 19 marries classic French brasserie-style food with a well-priced wine list and a see-and-be-seen River Oaks clientele. Owners Charles Clark and Grant Cooper created a philosophy for their restaurants that encourages access to an expansive wine list with bottles priced just above retail, which makes it easy to sample a wide variety of bubbles alongside oysters on the half shell, or a nice Pinot Noir with steak frites. Whether the occasion calls for a shared bottle on the patio with light bites, or a romantic dinner for two that lingers into the night, Brasserie 19 makes for a great excuse to dress up and go out on the town."

"We can’t talk about high-style outdoor dining without including Brasserie 19 in River Oaks Shopping Center, which has enjoyed huge fans and a terribly chic following since originally opening a decade ago. This photo was taken before the Clark Cooper Concepts team added social distancing space between the outdoor (as well as indoor) tables."

Spend the morning with friends enjoying bellinis and smoked salmon crepes as you take in the crisp-white ambience around you!"

"Modest West Houston hideaway Bistro Provence, which specializes in simple, hearty French fare, benefits from the Guy family pedigree—paterfamilias Georges Guy has owned multiple French restaurants in Houston. His daughter-in-law, Genevieve Guy, owns Bistro Provence, and manages it with husband Jean-Philippe. Visitors to the dark, cozy dining room treat themselves to salads, rillettes, or wood-oven pizza topped with duck confit, or indulge in comforting entrées such as Bistro Provence’s riff on beef au poivre (a New York strip steak with green peppercorn cream sauce and country-style potatoes), or scallops and shrimp atop goat cheese–filled ravioli and ratatouille."

"When you step into Bistro Provence, you will feel as if you have strolled into the French countryside. It’s warm and cozy, filled with sweet-smelling aromas. The décor is one of wood planks and a French color scheme."

"Located in the heart of River Oaks District, the expansive patio at Toulouse spills into the main courtyard, where diners can take in all of the ritzy retail center action from the table while sipping wine and snacking on butter-drenched escargot. Live music on weekends is icing on the cake."

"This 24/7 staple is making major moves with a new location opening on Shepherd this spring, making it even easier for you to satisfy your late-night cravings. Much like House of Pies, the dessert may just be the main reason for your trek — in this case, the towering, signature New York-style cheesecakes. But you can’t really leave without a hefty bowl of matzoh ball soup."

"What night owls say:"Late night, early morning, or lunch, you can't go wrong with this hot spot. The food is very good. The menu has a lot of options. Just because it's 2am don't expect to just walk right in and be seated, this is a popular spot, but the wait is never long." – Ernest P."

"Originally a pharmacy in the historic Heights neighborhood, Yale Street Grill is the oldest restaurant north of downtown. Abel and Mildred Dupuis, both pharmacists, founded the business in 1923. Early on they installed a soda fountain and began selling sandwiches and breakfast for those who came to pick up their prescriptions."

"Counter service comes to life at Lola, which suddenly finds itself at the center of The Heights revolution. The modern diner, which even boasts vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free offerings, serves breakfast classics til 9 pm every day. Lola favorite Challah French toast makes quite the impression with fresh strawberries, as does the home skillet with either chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak with three eggs any style and your choice of seasoned house potatoes —phenomenal — parmesan grits or corned beef hash."

"This decidedly modern diner occupies a 70-year-old building in the Heights where broad windows and high ceilings house a cheerful dining room perpetually packed with families in search of omelets made with local farm eggs, chicken-fried steak with cheese grits, and peanut butter pancakes."

"Lola gives you plenty of options for making your own pancakes just the way you like it. Add-ins are just $1 each and include: blueberries, strawberries, bananas, candied pecans, chocolate chips and peanut butter, with your choice of applewood smoked bacon or natural cased sausage."
