Now on Resy: Weights & Measures, Saldivia’s, Crawfish & Noodles, and More Local Favorites

Bring your friends to this spacious modern American restaurant and bar in a converted 1950s-era warehouse, so you can order plenty of the enticing menu offerings, which range from shareable appetizers to Neapolitan-style pizzas, and uncommon pastas like the signature H-Town chorizo carbonara.

For assorted empanadas, generous salads, grilled meats as served in Uruguay and Argentina, and a sampling of the Italian and South American specialties for which both countries are known, look no further than this family-run longtime Briarmeadow/Tanglewilde favorite — and don’t forget a bottle of Uruguayan Tannat.

This festive offshoot of the wildly popular Asiatown original brings new flavors to the Houston Farmers Market, thanks to James Beard finalist chef Trong Nguyen’s unique menu that melds the cuisines of Vietnam and Bayou Country. (Crawfish with Cajun garlic butter and Vietnamese spices? Yes, please.)

Edibles rise to a whole new level in the comfortable tropical-inspired surroundings at this innovative concept from Adyson and Andrew Alvis (of Grinder’s Coffee Bar and the original Wild in the Heights), where anything on the internationally flavored menu of shareables can be infused with CBD or THC upon request.

Wine-lovers, step right this way. At this stylish Old Town Spring destination, more than 20 wines are poured by the glass and almost 50 by the bottle, and the tapas offerings, many based on produce grown in the Plane & Level gardens, are just what you’ll want to eat as you sip.

If you can’t find something you want on the menu at this Galleria area favorite, you’re not hungry. The accent is definitely Middle Eastern, but local restaurant veteran Mike Tibi also offers salads, pastas, tacos, a burger, a vegetable platter, and so much more that the only problem is making a choice.

You’ll want to become a regular at this spacious, light-filled Greenway Plaza sibling of the Vintage Park original, for its menu of Italian and Italian-adjacent specialties, from pastas and pizzas to meat and seafood — don’t overlook the excellent grass-fed burger with harissa aïoli.

Make a note of this stylish Portuguese restaurant and wine bar from Shiva and Rick Di Virgilio (of De Gama), where you’ll find lots to love, from the warm and airy dining room to the array of savory Portuguese dishes (including a BBQ take on the famous piri piri chicken) and selection of underrated Portuguese wines.
