    Hot Houston spots serve up seconds in the suburbs, plus more restaurant news

    The world of Houston bars and restaurants moves pretty fast. Those who don't stop to look around might miss something. With that in mind, here's three news items to know about recent opening announcements.

    Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café opened its third Houston-area location in Katy's La Centerra shopping district. The restaurant serves sweet and savory crepes, waffles, salads, and panini for breakfast, lunch and dinner. La Centerra has proven to be a popular destination for Houston restaurants heading west; Bernie's Burger Bus, Dish Society, and Peli Peli also have locations there.

    True Food Kitchen, the healthy-eating restaurant with a menu guided by the principles of alternative health guru Dr. Andrew Weil's anti-inflammatory diet, will open its second Houston-area location in The Woodlands on May 16. The restaurant caters to gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diners with its seasonally-inspired menu of bowls, salads, sandwiches, and more. With over 7,000-square-feet of space, the restaurant will be able to seat approximately 170 people inside and 100 on its patio.

    Food halls aren't the only new restaurants coming downtown. Market Square Tower — the apartment building with the pool on the 42nd floor — will soon be home to Coterie, a new restaurant from Southside Espresso owner Sean Marshall and business partner Charles Lusk. No details on what kind of food the restaurant will serve when it opens this summer, but the space will feature an interior with furniture and furnishings imported from Italy and a walk-in wine room.

    True Food Kitchen will bring its Ancient Grain Bowl to The Woodlands in May.

    Bon Appetit Best New Restaurants

    Bon Appetit showers praise on Aaron Bludorn's bistro in Houston hotel

    Aaron Bludorn’s newest restaurant is basking in the national spotlight. Bon Appetit named Perseid, the chef’s French restaurant in the Hotel Saint Augustine, to its list of The 20 Best New Restaurants of 2025.

    Published Friday, September 12, the list includes restaurants from 18 cities across America, as both Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles earned two entries each. Perseid is the only Texas restaurant to make the list.

    Writer Sam Stone praises both Perseid’s setting within the boutique hotel, described as “an airy, modernist space brimming with sagebrush,” and hails it as serving “a menu you won’t find at another hotel in America.”

    Credit for the unique menu goes to Bludorn and Perseid’s executive chef Michael Le. Together, they’ve created dishes that Stone notes blend Cajun and Vietnamese flavors into classic French fare, including a burger dressed with banh mi toppings and a crawfish sausage.

    “What might be a cacophony of notes in less skilled hands blends into a delicious harmony as dinner unfolds,” Stone writes.

    “We’re thrilled to bring more attention to the amazing culinary scene here in Houston,” Bludorn tells CultureMap. “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating this restaurant at Hotel Saint Augustine as a reflection of what our city has to offer.”

    “Another proud moment for our city,” adds Bludorn’s business partner Cherif Mbodji. “Grateful for this recognition and so proud of our incredible team. Thrilled to see Houston’s vibrant culinary scene continue to shine.”

    Bon Appetit has been generous in its praise of Houston’s culinary community. Last month, Casaema earned a spot on the magazine’s list of America’s 14 best new breakfast joints. In June, Rice Village cocktail bar Lee’s earned the only Texas spot on the 9 best new bars of 2025.
