  • Bistro Lancaster is a cozy, genteel restaurant. It's located in the elegant Lancaster Hotel, a downtown landmark. Situated in the heart of the theater district, Bistro Lancaster is a prime spot to dine before an evening of the arts. The intimate dining room has the look of a room in an English manor with deep green walls, botanical prints and a handsome bar. Chef Mark Riley menu features creative American Bistro with touches of the Mediterranean flair.

    Appetizers include a delicious Grilled Lamb Meatballs with taziki sauce; a Carpaccio of Serrano Ham; and Blue Lip Mussels. Main course choices include Seared Blue Crab Cake, Rosemary Pork Loin and Tomato and Fennel Stuffed Trout. Those are good, but the Medallions of Black Angus Tenderloin in a masala sauce is a stand-out. For dessert, we recommend the bread pudding, a warm, dreamy mass covered in a crème fraîche and caramel sauce studded with dried candied cherries with a fig coulis underneath. The service is sharp, making Bistro Lancaster a fine choice for a quiet breakfast meeting, a pleasant midday respite from the office as well as pre-theater dining.

    A local favorite bistro in Houston, our Bistro Lancaster is ideal for a power breakfast, business lunch, or social evening. Sophisticated and intimate, the Bistro allows for highly attentive personal service with a maximum seating capacity of only 62 guests. Feast on our sumptuous regional American bistro cuisine, and enjoy the best flavors the season has to offer at our Houston Restaurant.

    The hugely popular Bistro Bar, located alongside the restaurant, has been rated one of the top ten bars in the country by Food and Wine Magazine. Its unique atmosphere is often imitated but never duplicated, making this cozy Houston bar a favorite among theatergoers and savvy locals. The Bistro Bar is the perfect place to enjoy relaxed conversation, after-theatre cocktails, delicious desserts, and nightlife in Houston TX.

    Our Houston Bistro is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Reservations are recommended.
