Credence
american, fine_dining
$$$$
It may be ranch-inspired but Credence is firmly planted in Houston. Large and airy, the dining room is anchored by an open kitchen with a live fire.Credence is Chef/owner Levi Goode’s first brick-and-mortar, and it perfectly showcases his background as a fifth-generation Texan and classically trained chef. From fresh seafood towers and smoked tuna dip to hearty, live-fire options like whole duck and ribeye, there is plenty to like on this menu. Deviled crab meat tossed in a smoky tomato butter is even better when accompanied by monkey bread to soak up every last trace. Look to the flame to gui

Tatemó
Mexican, Contemporary · ★ Michelin
$$$$
The famous idiom about not judging a book by its cover couldn’t be more applicable than to this tortilleria-turned-tasting menu. In an empty strip mall with little around except for a brewery and a doughnut shop, Chef Emmanuel Chavez delivers a beautifully pitched and portioned experience that celebrates heirloom corn from across Mexico. Start with a crisp tostada topped with tuna and a luxurious scoop of caviar, then a fine Tlacoyo de suadero comes with a multi-layered and tasty Mexican XO sauce. The most original and striking effort might be the black-as-night mole negro, which comes blanket

Musaafer
Indian, Contemporary · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Dinner in a shopping mall doesn’t sound promising, unless you’re headed to Musaafer. The sheer scale of this grand hall, with its arches, towering windows, labyrinth-like layout and elaborate patterns, feels like a palace of its own. The setting is as thrilling as the food, with different menus reflecting the chef's travels around India. A crisp, delicate achappam is a lovely opener before scallop ceviche with green apple cilantro water. A short rib taco adds a little fun but do order the Malabari fish curry with a light and fluffy paratha. Desserts are delicate, subtle and skillful. The atten

Bar Bludorn
American
$$$
How many beignets is too many? In what feels like an easygoing tavern, these light pillows land on the table warm, filled with ricotta cheese, and topped with thin slivers of Benton’s ham. One could nearly make a meal out of them. Such is the appeal of this confident neighborhood spot from the ever-busy Chef Aaron Bludorn. Wrapped in dark wood lit under keen spotlights, the dining room has clear views of a gleaming open kitchen. Just as service is both approachable and attentive, the menu too deals in hearty, comfort fare that’s short on fuss and long on flavor. From pasta to steaks, everythin

Mala Sichuan Bistro
Chinese, Sichuan · Bib
$$
From Katy to Sugarland to Montrose, this Sichuan restaurant has spread its wings across the Houston area and beyond. The story begins at the original location, which opened in 2011 in Bellaire’s Chinatown. Whereas many Sichuan restaurants submerge everything in pools of chili oil, this kitchen takes a more measured approach. And true to its name, dishes boast a distinct thread of tangy bitterness and tongue-numbing heat but never so much that you’ll sweat. Don't ignore the classics like wonderfully balanced kung pao with soft juicy chicken, pork belly with broccoli or lotus root with a truly d

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse
Steakhouse, American
$$$$
Even after more than two decades of service, this Houston institution is as sharp as ever. The menu is focused, offering just a limited number of appetizers and salads to keep all eyes and appetites on the prime, in-house dry-aged steaks. Seasoned and seared properly, the cuts are complemented by generous, finely tuned sides like creamed spinach with ham or oversized onion rings (ask for extra crispy). Part of the genius here is the service: Veteran waiters and friendly sommeliers are effortlessly hospitable regardless of whether you order 1947 Petrus. Altogether, with white tablecloths, gloss

Hidden Omakase
Sushi, Contemporary
$$$$
Note: Temporarily closedTrue to its name, this dark, intimate space is sealed off from the strip mall outside—but when it comes to its reputation for a showy, immersive experience, the secret is certainly out. In the care of Chef Marcos Juarez, this 18-seat counter features a wide array of premium seafood prepared with a unique approach that bucks tradition. Chefs happily engage with diners, explaining each of the courses. Nigiri is at the heart of this meal, featuring fish aged in-house, and may include toro, uni and plump mussels. Come with high expectations and do bring liquor, if you're so
