 Cafe Rabelais Restaurant Review: In name, this Rice Village bistro honors the sixteenth-century philosopher of food and wine; but it's also a tribute to strong family ties. Owners Laurence and Chris Paul are daughter and son-in-law of Houston’s own reigning French royalty, veteran chef Georges Guy of Bistro Provence. Café Rabelais’s small interior is warm and charming with a genuine European air, and there are both lingering and daily-changing menu selections scribbled on a chalkboard. At lunch, if available, we go for the pâté de campagne but will settle for the tuna salad sandwich on crunchy French bread. Dinner might start with escargots before moving on to duck breast with a pear and brandy sauce. Don’t pass up the tart du jour and feel free to enjoy one of the hundreds of affordable wines and the many cheeses on offer. |
