If you are a fan of oysters the baked oysters were probably the best i've had in a long time. The ponzu crab, prime filet mignon, spinach ricotta ravioli and poblano mac & cheese are also amazing! Read more
Don't miss: Goat-cheese wraps with salad of pear, hazelnut, arugula and fennel; foie gras "po-boy"; Lamb Rack & Navarin; Grand Marnier Crepe Soufflé. Look up at the ceiling of the main dining room. Read more
The marriage of France + Texas produces what chef Philippe Schmit is now nicknamed: The French Cowboy: tuna tartare with tequila, the Texas Caesar & more. A very good sommelier, too. [Eater 38 Member]
The eponymous Philippe belongs to one of Houston's most enduringly popular chefs, the French-born Philippe Schmit, who chose the glitzy Galleria area for his upscale French-esque brasserie. Read more
The goat cheese wraps were amazing, as was everything else. The beef cheeks melt in your mouth & the scallops were perfectly balanced by the okra and purée it was served with. Service is impeccable.
We were celebrating a birthday. First timers in this great restaurant. Worth to have a drink in the lounge, dinner upstairs and while singing happy birthday a French voice joined us: Phillippe himself
A relatively new French restaurant in the Galleria area. Nice place to have a drink or to enjoy their selection of interesting soups and dishes. Their unusual pizza is particularly recommended.

The bar on the ground floor of Philippe Restaurant has one of the best selections of rosés in town. Hit up happy hour to take advantage of 50% off open bottles. Read more
For an even more relaxed evening, camp out in the downstairs lounge (open 'til 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday), where seating is plush and specials are written on the chalkboard walls.

Tuna tartare w/ tequila tastes like some classic Tex-Mex dish. Burgundy beef cheeks looks like beef bourguignon, but taste like a juicy barbecue brisket? High-end French cuisine with Texas flavors.
Great French cuisine, excellent service, highly recommended. at the end of the meal Chef Philippe came to ask how was everything, spot on... Full review... Read more
$5 for valet parking, and then they're expectant of a tip. Most Houston restaurants, valet is free. But once you're inside, try the Blessing. Delicious!!
