European Restaurants in Houston, TX

“During the last ten years there has been a lot of changes in the Rice Village but unfortunately not for the good! However Salento Bistrot remains one of the shining stars of the Rice Village! I have been in and out of this nice restaurant for about 18 years. The food is delicious and the selection of wines is more than just decent. I love the beautiful atmosphere with nice music and the staff is always helpful. I need to add that the staff is bilingual and courteous. My last experience confirmed me that this is one of the few places I feel confortable to eat in the Rice Village. The prices are moderate and for the quality of the food is worth it. Please try the delicious paella and do not miss the flavorful sangria. They also have a patio but I prefer to eat inside. In my last visit I didn't eat dessert because apparently they're not offering the traditional "torta de Santiago" (used to be my favorite ).“

“A leisurely early dinner after a matinee was outstanding . Our server Alex provided excellent service with perfect timing. He was attentive without being overbearing. Food was very good and included starters from the Happy Hour menu: eggplant fries and crab cake balls. Menu offers a variety of choices. Generous pours of bubbly served in 7 oz coupes, as well as numerous choices of wine by glass. Great dessert choices as well. Highly recommend.“
