When you think of Texas, you think of barbecues and burgers, but not quite a few people know that the state also holds some of the best French restaurants in America and Cadot is a top contender as one of the best. Being in a strip mall might catch people off-guard, but don’t let the location fool you; This five-star French restaurant has all the right ingredients in its menu to garner some of the pricier sides of dining."

Not only that, everything is sensibly priced, especially considering the quality of the offerings.
