Note: This list will be updated regularly with new additions each month, so be sure to check back often. For Houston’s newest restaurant openings, head here.
Christie’s Seafood & Steaks Houston

Newly added!
Because Christie’s holds the distinct honor of being Houston’s oldest restaurant (the original opened in Galveston in 1917, moving to Houston in 1934), serving great steaks and impeccable seafood for over 100 years. Try the brizola, a 12-ounce rib eye with Greek herbs and grilled Gulf shrimp on the side, or Christie’s Pride, a seafood-stuffed fish baked in foil.

Blood Bros. BBQ Bellaire
Newly added!
Because Blood Bros. redefines barbecue in the most delicious ways. The menu changes often, and the team — brothers Robin and Terry Wong and pitmaster Quy Hoang — will surprise you with unexpected offerings. Expect things like brisket fried rice, smoked turkey bánh mì, or burnt ends with gochujang.
Marmo Montrose
Newly added!
A suave Italian chophouse from the owners behind Loch Bar and Azumi, Marmo offers a range of antipasti, pastas, dry-aged steaks, and classics like eggplant parmesan and veal chop Milanese. Don’t miss the special of the house: prime beef tartare with Calabrian chiles and pine nuts.
Loch Bar River Oaks
Newly added!
Because the raw bar here might just be the most amply stocked in all of Texas. An instant River Oaks classic, Loch Bar boasts a seafood-heavy menu that sails stylishly from caviar to calamari, and poke to prawns. Pro tip: Come with a group so you may sample the monumental royal seafood tower, an extravaganza of oysters, clams, shrimp, lobster, king crab legs, and more.
neo Hyde Park

Newly added!
Three reasons why an omakase meal at this intimate sushi counter is like no other: (1.) Neo hides inside a boutique clothing store; (2.) complimentary wine and sake is part of the 18- to 20-course feast; (3.) the hyper-seasonal menu blends Japanese ingredients and techniques with accents from around the world. Do we need to say more?

Nori Nori Bellaire
Newly added!
This chic Chinatown sushi spot is unique in its focus on temaki (hand rolls). Order one of the sets, or build your own combo using quality Japanese fish and ingredients like uni, foie gras, and caviar. But don’t neglect other menu items, either, like scallop crudo, foie gras chawanmushi, and a selection of pristine nigiri.
Azumi Houston River Oaks
Newly added!
This River Oaks knockout (from the same group behind Loch Bar) stars sushi and other seafood offerings sourced almost exclusively from Japan. But carnivores need not worry, for Azumi also features A5 Japanese Wagyu, plus a house signature to share: a gochujang-marinated bone-in short rib, inspired by Texas barbecue.
CRU Lounge North Houston Jersey Village
Newly added!
Following up on the success of its Galleria location, the Jersey Village outpost of this mighty hookah bar chain offers everything you need for an evening of fun and delicious indulgence. Think bright “Crutails,” almost every flavor of shisha you can imagine, and a menu of just-what-you-want small plates, from wings and mac & cheese to tacos.
Osha Thai Kitchen Westside

Newly added!
If you like Nua Thai, you’ll love Osha. Saranya Danvetnukroh’s Westchase District gem is a tribute to Thailand’s dazzling street food culture. In other words, get ready to make this a regular spot, so you may work your way through the extensive menu of papaya salads, curries, and dishes centered on housemade noodles.

Norigami West University
Originally a pop-up, this sibling to Hidden Omakase and Sushi by Hidden is now an ornate brick-and-mortar sushi bar where hand rolls with a twist (toro with jicama and fried leeks; foie gras with sour cherries) play the starring role. Before or after dinner, find your way to the hideaway speakeasy for a Thai chile ginger margarita or a rum-based Paper Crane.
Moca HTX Greater Third Ward
Because the Third Ward’s popular Café 4212 evolved into this more upscale destination (“Moca” stands for “Men of Color Achieving“), and you can expect innovative cocktails and an eclectic crawfish-toast-to-lamb-meatballs menu curated by “Next Level Chef“ competitor Mariah Scott.
Ciel Houston
You’ll want to dress to impress at this elegant-cool 8,000-square-foot showplace, where the cuisine references both France and Japan, the décor is sheer over-the-top fun, the live performances by DJs and dancers will supercharge your evening, and the clientèle is big-night-out stylish.
MAD Houston River Oaks/Galleria
Ignacio Torras and Luis Roger brought real-deal Spanish food to town in 2014 with their BCN Taste & Tradition, but they’ve definitely upped the ante with this vividly colorful, art-filled restaurant showcasing Spain’s best — from el Bulli-influenced modernist dishes to wood-fired seafood and meats, to an encyclopedia of authentic paellas.
Pondicheri River Oaks
If you like Indian food so much you sometimes wish you could have it three times a day, this one’s for you. Award-winning chef Anita Jaisinghani (of Indika) opens at 9 a.m. for masala eggs and coconut pancakes, then keeps going well into the evening with her perfectly crafted menu of rich curries and thalis, which are largely vegetarian and gluten-free.
Zutro Downtown

You’ll definitely want to join the crowd of happy diners at this spectacular all-day establishment at Le Méridien Downtown, where the skillfully curated Italian menu toggles between the traditional and the contemporary, and the cocktails are perfection. (Don’t miss the Cowboy Bellini — Angel’s Envy bourbon, peach purée, and La Marca prosecco.)

Monarca Modern Mexican Cocina Creekside
Come to this upscale establishment for stylish Mexican fare that sidesteps the clichés from chef Sebastian Royo. Steaks and fish from the Josper oven, imported from Barcelona, really stand out — and after dinner, sneak into GUS, the restaurant’s hidden speakeasy, for a shot of rare mezcal.
Triola’s Kitchen Greater Heights
You’ll definitely want a seat at this come-hungry Italian spot from chef Frank Triola of Azzarelli’s fame. House specialties like veal-stuffed Papa’s mushrooms, lasagna with the chef’s special red sauce, and chicken Triola (stuffed with sausage and mozzarella) anchor the menu — and wine lovers, do take note: Triola’s is BYOB, and there’s no corkage fee.
Sal y Pimienta Kitchen CityCentre
There can’t be many better guides to the rich food and wine landscape of South America than Uruguayan-born restaurateur Gianfranco Percovich (of the late Tango & Malbec), and this “Salt & Pepper” restaurant proves the point with Peruvian-style ceviche, Argentine-style pastas, and a grilled grass-fed Uruguayan filet mignon that puts Wagyu to shame.
Oporto Fooding House & Wine Houston Midtown

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.
