First and foremost, this was an amazing amount and quality of food for the price. 70 bucks and some change doesn't usually ensure a good dinner, but Houston Restaurant Weeks continues to giveth. The lack of valet parking isn't a total loss because there's a lot across the street and a garage around the corner, also free event parking at the curb. With a party of 4 adults and 2 kiddos, we were able to have a comfortable meal with plenty of space for wiggling feet. The menu itself offers so much, it was honestly difficult to choose! Everything sounded worth having on a plate, but HRW is best enjoyed with indulgence in mind. One can never go wrong with a salad as a starter, and the Filet Wellington was so tender. The pastry case was so light and flaky, really tied each bite together. And that sauce, bottle it. Lastly, dessert. This apple tart was indeed fine. The ice cream brought sweetness to the tart without overpowering the apples, and not a crumb was left. Service really allowed for the meal to be enjoyed. I felt like I could've sat for hours, and a glass of Rosé certainly helped. Also a reservation, avoided a wait time entirely! read more

I had the 2 course lunch here during Houston Restaurant Weeks. I got the duck confit and the steak tartare and both were amazing. I was genuinely shocked at the portion sizes for the price and quality of the food. The dining room sunroom made the experience even better. It almost transports you out of Houston entirely. It felt more like France or even a bit like New York instead of Texas. I love the big glass windows and views to the greenery of the park. The service was also five star. Be prepared to ask for whatever type of water suits you (or your budget) best! Excellent food, excellent value, highly recommend during Restaurant Weeks. read more

My group went for Sunday brunch during houston's restaurant week. Off the rip, the hostess was extremely rude to me when we asked for a table, she said "what." and asked if we had a reservation. We did not, but the restaurant was damn near half empty and still was by the time we left, so I don't know why she was so hostile. On top of that we were sat in a dimly lit area across from the restrooms, even though there were plenty of tables in the nicely lit side. (Those tables were empty when we left). The food overall was mid at best. Duck confit was dry. I would never go back here purely on the service. read more

We had an awesome experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious as we enjoyed the waiter-recommended short ribs. We also had foie gras which was very nice. This is a lovely location near Toyota Center. The decor is welcoming and the noise level is just right. Appreciate our server recommending the short ribs. read more

I've never encountered a restaurant that went from a 5-star experience to a 1-star experience from a first visit to a second visit, but this place managed to pull it off. I took my wife here last year and she loved the place so much that she couldn't wait to come back. She literally called the restaurant "perfection" in her own Yelp Review. Of course, that meant we were going to make repeat trips here, even though with all the restaurants we have around Houston, I prefer to continue trying new venues. This year was a complete 180 from last year. They seemed to be either overbooked or understaffed, probably both. We were waiting a while for our table, but a trendy place during Houston Restaurant Weeks having delays isn't surprising, even if we had a reservation. The waiter apologized for the delay, saw we were looking at the HRW menu, and took all three course orders at once. We really thought that it would speed things up, but the exact opposite thing happened. It took well over 30 minutes to get our first course, which was the berries parfait. It's literally just yogurt, berries, granola, and honey in a bowl. Unlike last year, where the ingredients were carefully portioned, it seemed like this year they were all just hastily dumped into a bowl and brought out to the table. Regardless, it still tasted pretty good. About 50 minutes after we ordered, we asked the waiter about the status of our entrees. He let us know that the kitchen was behind. He sounded frustrated. We never saw him again; he completely disappeared and while we thought we saw him around, he never stopped by our table. We proceeded to see random people running items from the kitchen out to various tables. They weren't the waiters covering those tables. I'm not sure if they were kitchen staff, managers, dishwashers, or what. They all seemed frazzled and rushed. Of course, none of the food was coming to our table, but we clearly won't the only ones encountering delays and poor service. At about 70 minutes, and now no waiter, we gave up and went to the host table. We asked to cancel the rest of our order and offered to pay for what we'd already received. The host went to get a manager, but another lady came out letting us know that the manager was tied up facilitating in the kitchen and was trying to offer alternatives to us leaving. My wife was ready to leave, but I saw one of the random employees drop two plates at the table we'd abandoned. I suggested to her that it might be better to just finish our already-delayed meal rather than waste another hour going to another restaurant, ordering, and waiting for food. The lady at the front said she'd "take care of the bill." The food that was brought out was a disappointed. The duck confit was clearly rushed through the cooking process, but was still pretty good. The shrimp and grits were a complete miss, though. They clearly didn't have time to get the flavors they wanted, so they just dumped a bunch of garlic butter into the dish and called it a day. My wife couldn't finish her meal so we swapped entrees midway since the excess butter was making her miserable. The same lady (I'm guessing an assistant manager) kept offering us drinks. We made it clear we didn't want mimosas, so they started offering coffee. I don't think they were intending to come off pushy, but after a miserable 80+ minutes, it felt that way. Finally, we agreed to a couple of coffees with dessert just so they'd stop suggesting stuff and let us enjoy our food. The desserts were... okay. Just like the appetizers and entree, they seemed to be hastily assembled and lacking the flavors we'd expect. My wife seemed suitably happy with the Strawberries Melba for dessert, but my chocolate pot de creme was... bland. I've worked in hospitality before and I know that "I'll take care of the bill" means different things at different places, but this is the first time I've ever encountered-- as an employee or as a customer-- where that meant we were issued a bill for the full amount of the food we ordered, despite the fact that we nearly walked out due to the horrendous service. The only items that were "comped" were the coffees that we didn't even want. My wife had previously made it clear to me that she wanted to come back here regularly, so as we were walking back to our car, I suggested this was just an extreme off day and next time would be better. This time, she made it clear that she'd be okay if we never came back again. Honestly, I can't blame her. I'm leaving the second star on here because the first experience was so good. All I can say is that this place is no longer the amazing location that we experienced in 2024. read more

My friends and I made a reservation for the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu for 10:45am. We were seated upon arrival and were given the HRWs menu with the appetizer, main course and dessert. I ordered the parfait for appetizer, duck confit for main course and creme brûlée for dessert. They also provided bread at the table. Our waiter was pretty good, though once the restaurant got busy, we had some trouble flagging him down in between main course and dessert. The first two courses came outs relatively quickly with enough time in between each to enjoy and chat. The dessert took some time, and the waiter did apologize for the wait. The food was delicious, specifically the main course and dessert. The granola to yogurt ratio was very off; it was a sprinkle of granola to like 1/3 cup of unsweetened, plain yogurt. The set price for the menu was $25 and I think the value is more than worth it. I'd love to come back here to try more menu items! read more

Stopped in primarily because of a dessert photo I saw on here but they didn't have it on the menu Friday night around 8, not busy at all. Sat at the bar. Bartender was very friendly and helpful. Ordered two desserts and a glass of wine. Apple tart and chocolate mousse. Nice spot centrally located in downtown. Rest of the menu looked good; would visit again! read more

I must say, and you must forgive me, that this was tres bon! Honestly though, this entire experience was excellent. The interior was crowded, and yet didn't feel that way, which was a feat. The decor was elegant, with the magnificent chandeliers being a nice added touch. I came here for HRW and the menu was impressive to say the least. I was also pleasantly surprised by the selection of delicious complementary pastries we were given prior to the actual courses. Though the restaurant was busy, our servers were very attentive and communicated about wait times and delays, which I found thoughtful. I had the escargot, duck and pot de chocolate and every course was amazing! The escargot was cooked and seasoned perfectly and paired well with the bread, while the duck was succulent and substantial. The creamy and rick chocolatey dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. 10/10! read more

We went for HRW and I really enjoyed it. It's right across from Discovery Green, so you get a nice view, and the inside is cute, with chandeliers all over. Our server was really friendly and professional. I started with the bagel and lox, and really enjoyed the presentation. I then had the seafood omelette, it was served with a nicely dressed salad. We finished with a chocolate mousse dessert. It was all really good. It was a great experience all around, and I would definitely go back. read more

This restaurant is perfection. I mean beautiful, elegant, rich, and everything else you could think of when thinking of a wonderful fancy restaurant. Well, we went there, and our waiter was a French gentleman, and he had a perfect mix of refinement and French antics, which I adored. He was great, explaining things I didn't understand with the patience of a well-trained royal staff member. He looked somewhat offended at me when I asked for spicy sauce, but I hadn't tasted the food yet. The food here is real. What I mean is that when you taste the food you realize how fake the yogurt is from your grocery store, how much depth and flavor things like tomatoes, eggs, and berries have. The way they combined things such as yogurt with berries and honey created a perfect mix of taste and pleasure. I felt like the girl in romance novels who moaned when they ate a dish because, before that, I thought that was stupid. No, man, this was Mmmmmmm good. I had never tasted so much good food in my life. And did I tell you how beautiful and refined this place was? It's not like a formal gown restaurant, but man, you gotta wear your Sunday best or your cutest date outfit because that place is too cute to be boring in weekend yoga pants and t-shirts. Even the prices made sense. The only terrible part is that it's deep in Houston and not nearby me. Take the woman you love or want to impress here. And I gotta bug my husband now to take me back, because this place was too perfect to not return. read more

We were greeted promptly. Our waitress was very friendly. It's a very cute place restaurant. I like that the tables are spaced apart so it doesn't feel cramped. There's complimentary bread, they come out hot and served with butter. I really liked the braised beef but the vegetables that came with the dish was the unexpected star. The steak and frites, we ordered with the peppercorn sauce. The sauce was very tasty and made the perfectly cooked steak even better. We enjoyed our dinner here. read more

French restaurant. Might not be good with little kids. Steak frites and short ribs were perfect. We order medium rare to appreciate the steaks freshness. Short ribs were not too sweet. We didnt care for the escargot because it tasted like its missing salt. Service was attentive and friendly. Ambiance can be a mid level bar scene or a romantic dinner with chandelier. Really decent french restaurant. read more

Came here for Houston Restaurant Weeks for the first time ever and did not even realize at this restaurant was here because we are always at Discovery Green or the Toyota Center. My friend wanted to try French food and this had good reviews so we showed up for lunch with a reservation around 11 and there really wasn't anybody there but at 12 it started filling up quickly. She had a service animal and they're very accommodating, but they also put us in the back room so that there wasn't as much movement to disturb the animal. Our waiter was fantastic and made great recommendations. The rolls that came out for appetizers and before the main course were hot and fresh and that perfectly crisp outside. For appetizers, my friend got the crabcakes which were delicious and I got the escargot which were super tender and so flavorful. For lunch, my friend got the mushroom risotto which had so many mushrooms in it and I feel like a lot of places fall short when they say mushroom anything because it's just regular creamy mushroom mushrooms, and then whatever the dishes, but this had at least four different varieties of mushrooms and it was pretty much mostly mushrooms with risotto, which was amazing. I had the linguine Alfredo with the meat and it was so rich that I couldn't finish it, but it was also incredibly tasty. I brought it for lunch the next day and it pretty much burned a hole in the paper plate because all of the sauces are made from scratch and French style is with pure butter, but it was just as good heated back up. Had crème brûlée for dessert and they hit the mark with that too. Parking can be tricky and you should park on the street close to it if that's what you want. We parked at Phoenicia , but we were actually going to go shopping at Phoenicia after so we didn't violate any of the honor system. I cannot wait to go back because it was so good. read more

My first thought regarding Brasserie du Parc is: this café is perhaps cosplaying as a French dining establishment, and kind of misses the mark authenticity-wise. Nonetheless, I had a good experience dining here with a friend one afternoon. Étoile Cuisine et Bar is my favorite French restaurant in Houston thus far...I remember ordering vichyssoise and escargot from Étoile. The chef there, Philippe Verpiand, also was once affiliated with Brasserie du Parc. Maybe that's what's missing at Brasserie: a real French person running the kitchen. Haha. I thought the dining room was much smaller than I thought it would be. The posters in the bar were cool, but to me, that doesn't quite establish ambience. Elsewhere throughout the restaurant, I didn't think the decor was memorable. In fact, it was rather basic. The lunch and cocktail, in my opinion, were quite good. Parking is more of a challenge. There are areas for improvement, but I enjoyed my time at Brasserie du Parc. For more details: 5/5 Lychee Symphony Cocktail. This was a delicious, sophisticated cocktail. Made with: Lychee liquer, vodka, passionfruit, ginger and simple syrup. 5/5 Bread with Butter. The bread here is so good. 5/5 San Pellegrino water. Of course. 5/5 Crepe Soufflé - Grand Marnier Creme Anglaise with Raspberries. A great dessert. 4/5 Crab Cake with Remoulade sauce and Arugula salad, with radish and avocado. 3/5 Ambience 3/5 Did it seem like an authentic French culinary experience? Not really 2/5 Service 2/5 Wait Times read more

I came here for a lunch with a few vendors and it was during restaurant week. We sat down immediately as we had reservations. The restaurant's atmosphere was very nice and you can definitely tell it was French inspired. My only issue was that it was hot in there. I don't know if the ac was out that day but it was rather humid. I loved the Crab Cake. I would just order that if I could. The salmon was okay, I just wasn't a fan of the tomato based soup at the bottom. But overall nice place to dine read more

Downtown parking is either street meter or super expensive lots. We had to drive around for a while to find a street parking. The restaurant was cute, felt like you stepped into a cafe in Paris. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. And the food was yummy! I liked the avocado with the tuna tartare, and it came with little crostinis. I tasted my friend's soup and that was rich, creamy and delicious! The duck Confit! OMG it was so good. The skin was crispy. The sauce, divine. I loved everything about that dish. I went with a simple dessert of strawberry and ice cream. I really enjoyed that brunch and it definitely was worth it with HRW. read more

Hi- I came to this restaurant happy to get an authentic French brasserie experience. I ordered a ribeye steak with a sauce poivre. Very basic for a French brasserie. They served me a totally different sauce that tasted sour and horrible. I was shocked that this would be their version of sauce poivre. By the time I was able to get their attention, and something closer to a proper French pepper sauce, I was done eating that ribeye. Under those circumstances I was still charged a petty $2 extra for a bit of chopped garlic on the side. I paid the bill, quietly told them about the disappointing experience and left. Now, do customers out thee in the area, there are many options in Houston, don't make the same mistake I made. Avoid this place. read more

We came here for the 3-course Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner (now $55 as opposed to another reviewer from 2019 saying it was $35...oh the good ol days). Price feels steep for what is on offer these days. I started with their French Onion Soup (delicious), then had their Beef Bourguignon (beef was tender, the veggies were meh), and then finished with their Apple Tart (quite yummy). Service was friendly but at times sparse; picky on my part but they give you a tiny water glass in the middle of the summer and then don't keep it full as often as I would like (a me issue, but still).

Brunch at Brasserie du Parc is the quintessential Houston Restaurant Weeks experience: 3 full-sized courses for $25, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance...and maybe a big crowd. No matter - you're here for a leisurely, slow-paced meal, not to fill up and run out! :) I've had the pleasure of trying several items on their menu but always find myself returning to the herbaceous, buttery escargots, the tender, saucy duck confit, and the classic, perfectly shattering crème brûlée. I'm a fan of their complimentary bread service, most recently consisting of a blueberry muffin, a petite palmier, and a mini concha, though nothing beats their warm housemade crusty bread (especially when dipped into the aforementioned escargot butter). They are accommodating for small and large groups alike, and reservations are not too hard to come by as long as you plan ahead. Now that I think about it, I really should come here more often outside the month of August - the expansive menu and gorgeous windowed dining room easily make this a Downtown classic. read more

I feel like there are very few French places in Houston and the other ones are such a scene. Almost too extra and flashy. brasserie du parc does a great job of showcasing classic french dishes (in a really yummy way), keeping their experience casual but still elevated The layout of the restaurant is still odd to me, you aren't too sure which door to go through LOL. The bar side of the restaurant seemed more updated and brighter. We had a lovely night here, they kept the wine and water refills coming and the food courses timed out perfectly. No complaints on the food, seasoned well and very tasty all around. I love all the natural light before the sun sets, after that the ambiance is a little bright lights. Parking - Valet is $10. Street parking is free after 6pm in most of the city just check the signs. There's also a paid lot across the street I love to use yelp as a memory reference, looks like the last time I was here was over 2 years ago. read more

Service was great but the food was mediocre at best. My wife had the lemon sole - barely edible. I had the steak frites and it was ok but not very hot. Our guests tried to order a beer - sold out of the brand he wanted. Then for desert vanilla ice cream was sold out - walk around the corner to the grocery store and buy some vanilla cream.

We stopped here for restaurant week. The location is beautiful and the views of the park were quite nice. I had the lobster bisque, it was creamy but the herbs used over took the flavor and the experience.

It was our friend's birthday. They asked who it was before everyone arrived. They dropped off a dessert with no explanation or happy birthday at the end of the meal. It felt more like a mistake. A very lackluster birthday dinner for our friend. We don't plan to go back. read more

This was a delightful Houston Restaurant Weeks experience! I stopped by on a Saturday for brunch with a few friends. Fellow Yelper Chris W. had tried this spot before and had rave reviews, so I figured we should check it out. First off, this restaurant is in the heart of Downtown Houston, which means confusing one way roads and parking. I had trouble finding street parking and had to go a bit further away. Parking is probably an issue on weekends especially. We made a reservation in advance and found the restaurant modestly full. The interior is beautifully decorated for a nice brunch with friends, a more romantic setting, or a work meal. Our server quickly greeted us with the HRW menu and had several recommendations which we appreciated. I opted for the burrata as my first course, followed by the duck confit, and the profiteroles for dessert. The burrata was a solidly tasty dish which I quite enjoyed. The salad included a delicious dressing and strawberries which paired together very well. I also sampled my friends' lox and bagels and scargots which were also tasty. The lox in particular was a rather large dish as a first course, with excellent flavors. Next came the duck, which was wonderful. So wonderful, that our whole table opted for it as the main course! The crispiness of the duck was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed the potatoes. I found the sauce underneath a bit on the salty side, however, overall the dish was a home run for me. Not so much so with the profiteroles, unfortunately. While I enjoyed the pistachio flavor of the ice cream, it melted very quickly with the warm chocolate sauce and became a soupy mixture midway into eating it. I did not finish the dessert. I sampled my friends' crème brûlée which was excellent with a lovely crunchy exterior and creaminess underneath. I would opt for the crème brûlée next time. I would very much like to check this place out again in the future! I would probably carpool though, given the parking situation. All in all, a great HRW experience! read more

I liked it. I got mussels, and my partner got the steak frites. We were in a rush, and the waiters were accommodating. The portion of mussels was perfect for me, and the steak was pretty big for my partner who eats a lot. Both tasted pretty good. I would get them both again. Prices are fair for a nice French restaurant. The ambiance was nice. It was quiet and peaceful. The service was also great. Everyone was nice and helpful. There is no parking as it is downtown. However, you can do street parking nearby for cheap. 8/10, would go here again. read more

Food was average. We came here for Houston restaurant week so it was a good deal, but would not recommend coming here otherwise. We came for brunch. The bread that they served included muffins which was very cute, except that they were all pretty dry. I enjoyed the etouffee crepe a lot, that was pretty unique and flavorful. The chicken and waffles were average. Crème brûlée was not bad but also tasted just like any other crème brûlée I can buy at grocery stores. The cream puff was really dry again.

Amazing food! Been here quite often and have been extremely happy with the food, service and ambiance. Every dish is beautifully served!

We had an amazing brunch experience here. Atmosphere is superb on a sunny Sunday morning after strolling through Discovery Green, it's relaxing and lovely, quiet and peaceful. We sat next to the window, so we were able to enjoy a sunbath while doing some people watching. Parking is free on Sundays for downtown street parking. Service is impeccable, staff are welcoming, thoughtful and attentive. Location is so central, we also went to Phoenicia afterwards to have a nice walk in the store and grab some unique items. Every dish from appetizers, main entrees, desserts and drinks + coffee is just perfect, flavor is great and presentation is excellent! We did the HRW menu, loved everything we ordered. They also give you complimentary bread as soon as you sit down, such a nice little touch. We will definitely come back! read more

Brasserie du Parc is an upscale French restaurant in the heart of downtown located directly across from Discovery Green park. I came for dinner here with my mom during Houston Restaurants Week. We both selected options from a set menu. Overall the food was decent but not outstanding. I got the French onion soup to start. The broth was lacking in flavor in my opinion. I prefer the beef broth taste whereas this was lighter in flavor. My mom got the mushroom ravioli which were great. For the main, I had the beef bourguignon which was a bit disappointing. I've had it before and enjoy the meal but this version had an overwhelming sweet flavor. My mom got the coq au vin which was much better. To finish, we got a crepe and creme brûlée. They forgot the bananas in my mom's crepe and the service became slower and slower as the meal went on. I would most likely not go back but the mushroom ravioli was our favorite of the night. read more
