Houston's Best Smoked Salmon and Live Music to boot. – Bistro Calais creates a smoked salmon that makes you want to slap someone. Did I say slap? WOW, this stuff is the food of the Gods. The wine list is also tasty. Now let's really talk. The Sunday brunch is the best value in all of Houston. Now seriously, my next favorite after the salmon is the chicken fried steak on the buffet at lunch. It makes you want to slap someone twice! Now let's talk about the live music. Where else in Houston can you catch dinner and a show 5 da... read more
Great place for a quiet lunch! – I happened to go here for lunch soon after Barkis, and I went in spite of that review, in part because the other reviews were good, and in part because I remembered having been here before some time ago with good experience. I had a very nice lunch of the crab salad with mango and avocado, which I greatly enjoyed. I came back about a week later and had the Calais crab pie as a lunch entree. That was fantastic, but a way richer meal than is good for me to eat often. It was a real treat with cr... read more
Charming view, but inconsistent food and and inattentive service – I took my mother to this restaurant for lunch. Zaggat said the restaurant used to be a gem, but the food is now inconsistent and the service poor. The little houses and gazebo in back are charming but as Zaggat commented, you can't eat the view. We couldn't eat the food either. Mother's fried chicken livers, Bistro's specialty, and my pork tenderloin were overcooked, chewy, and tasteless. The restaurant management seems to have stopped trying. The background ... read more
Wonderful Bistro – I must say that this is one of the finest restaurants I have been to in Houston. The food is outstanding and the portions are generous. The menu is changed every few weeks and you never know what they are going to be serving on your next visit but whatever it maybe the one thing I can always count on is that it will be divine. The wine selection is extensive and the staff is always willing to help you choose just the right wine for your meal.
Good Brunch. – Good for Sunday brunch. I cannot tell whether it is very authentic because some items are very Americanized.
Wonderful! – We found this place on accident and can not stop going back! Everything is good: smoked salmon, steak and frites, french dip, salads and the mussels are amazing. We have been at both lunch and dinner and the service is perfectly attentive but not over-bearing. They have delicious "chalkboard" specials in addition to the regular menu. A new favorite!
Bistro Calais is one of our favorite afternoon getaways. We came upon the restaurant quite by accident late one night about 2 years ago, and have made it a point to return whenever we need an escape. The staff and service was and is always accomodating. The wine selections are nice, and priced accordingly. (something for everyone, including the budget concious) Mussels are always a favorite, as is the crusty french bread--wonderful starters. Lunch specials are well priced for the portions, and the options are endless. Especi... read more
Lovely place to spend an hour during lunch – Very quite and pleasant room in an old house overlooking a courtyard. Service was fine and the Mussels were well done. Had the Chicken Liver Salad my first time and it was very nice. Will go back for sure, and will try the Wed. happy hour.
A painterly setting, a great wine list, and hearty French fare! – My wife and I ventured out to this hidden gem Saturday night quite late, 9:30, but the accomodating staff seated us with pleasure. We marveled at the beautiful Bammell gardens and the vintage cottages, in a perfectly restored city block that made me feel as if I were back in England, instead of River Oaks. Visiting the conservatory during the day would seem to be a great pleasure, which we plan on doing at a later date. We dined on mussels, frits and wine. Ele... read more
