Baba Yega

About this business

Baba means granny in Russian, and this restaurant—named after the fairy tale witch characterized in an Emerson, Lake and Palmer song—has been a fixture among the art galleries, antique stores and second-hand shops in the Montrose area since the early 1970s. The menu features contemporary cuisine ranging from healthy California-style salads, sandwiches and sprouts to burgers, rib eye steaks, pastas and a spicy, old-fashioned Southern gumbo.

Love this place for brunch. The atmosphere is fantastic and it really is a nice experience. Food is pretty good also, not great, but really good.

Charming Spot – I don't get to Montrose much, but I came across this little cafe and was pleasantly surprized. The waiter was cheerful and there when I wanted him. I had a Muffalata sandwich with a cold pasta side and it was quite good. The charm of the place is how it is two or three old cotages connected with patios, walkways and water falls. It's a throwback to a more relaxed time and very comfortable

Great Vegetarian Sandwiches – I have been eating at Baba Yega for almost 20 years. They have the best vegetarian reuben and club sandwiches in Houston, and the potato salad is awesome. I also love the Italian cream cake, when they have it. I couldn't give them 5 stars, however, after trying the Sunday brunch. It was pretty expensive, especially if you don't eat sausage, bacon, or sushi. I paid $24 (at the time) for a waffle and some fruit. Not worth it. Do allow plenty of time to eat. The waitstaff tend to take their time.

Not what the hype said! – I finally got to go to Baba Yega last weekend for brunch. Yikes! The brunch buffet was uninspired and not worth the money. I prefer menu brunches but if you want a buffet brunch try Dharma Cafe on Houston Ave - MUCH better food!

Sunday Brunch INCREDIBLE! – The Sunday brunch is incredible- a bit pricey, but the food is high quality so they've got to pay for that somehow. Mimosas are CHEAP! A lovely place to go in the spring, as the courtyard is gorgeous.

Went there years ago when it first opened and the food was good then and is still good now. Recently when I went we sat outside at night and it seemed romantic.
