Rosie Cannonball, Bori, Boheme, Now on the Resy Hit List

Because this Montrose eatery promises a star-studded experience, courtesy of Goodnight Hospitality. At the helm, chef de cuisine Adam Garcia (formerly of The Pass and Provisions, Coltivare) prepares an exquisite menu of technique-driven dishes, which draw inspiration from European classics. Pastry chef Shawn Gawle—an alum of three-Michelin-star Quince in San Francisco—crafts sweet treats that truly round out the dining experience.

Because Downtown has a new food mecca. Home to five restaurants and three bars, each as stylish as they are flavor-focused, this food hall boasts concepts ranging from Vietnamese and Japanese to Gulf Coast cuisine and Italian. Craving a quick fix? Spring for handmade pastas and Roman-style pizza at BOH Pasta & Pizza.

Walk-ins only.

Because though El Meson is best known for its Spanish paella and tapas, the Cuban dishes are its best-kept secret. Pair a crisp glass of wine with chicken doused in spicy garlic sauce, rice and beans, and caramelized sweet plantains.

Because at long last, you can now make a Resy at one of the city’s buzziest spots: Boheme. The namesake bohemian vibe (read: drag brunch) is implied, but locals love its expansive back patio and international menu. Don’t sleep on the Bangkok-style fries with smoked pork shoulder and yellow curry mayo.

Because Ouzo Bay brings two concepts to River Oaks: Greek restaurant and adjacent Loch Bar. Pair your carefully selected Hellenic wine with crudo, pastitsio spring rolls, and flaming saganaki.

For reservations, contact the restaurant at (832) 430-6610.

Because this stunning EaDo night club is meant for summer partying, boasting no less than two well-manned bars. There’s plush booths, enticing snacks (honey bourbon glazed bacon, anyone?), and the drinks to match, from melon-flavored Clutch City Mule to a rosé twist on a French 75.

Because located in Little India, Katmandu Curry brings flavor-packed Himalayan cuisine to Houston. Aromatic grilled meats, Nepali pickles, and spice-laden momos (dumplings filled with veggies, chicken, or goat) are among the highlights.

Walk-ins only.

Because this beloved fine dining stalwart still thrills more than 50 years after opening. Whether you opt for the lavish tasting menu or a simply yet impeccably made bowl of pasta, Tony’s Italian menu stuns in its delivery and generosity. One thing’s for sure: they don’t make places like this anymore.

Because this brand-new Korean barbecue serves the finest quality meats (read: a dry-aged ribeye) in a refined setting with superb service. Choose from a selection of marbleized steaks and fresh vegetables—or opt for the combo plate, which includes meats, as well as corn cheese, steamed egg, and your choice of soup.

For reservations, contact the restaurant at (832) 740-4350.

Because summer’s a great time to revisit some old favorites. You may not have been here since culinary advisor Kathy Elkins took over last year, so it’s high time you dug into Southern specialties like Chicken or the Egg, deviled eggs topped with fried chicken, chile oil, and a sweet chile pepper.
