Fabulous food, nice, quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Had the evening special which consisted of a lamb chop, pork medallions, and bacon-wrapped quail. All were delicious, the pig especially. Wife and I split the smoked salmon salad - amazing. No room for the key lime pie, will have to go back.
Hosted my sister’s engagement party here in beautiful a private room, and was a huge success! Carla was incredibly welcoming and helpful during the whole planning process. The food was excellent and I can’t wait to come back soon :)
Went here for my birthday dinner. I had a small group or 6 and we reserved ahead of time. The staff was very accommodating for one of the guests visiting who brought a baby. They sat us at a square table which allowed for intimate conversations and fellowship without feeling overcrowded. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly about the dishes offered and I chose to get the special of the day. I got an appetizer of escargots to start and we all dined on the bread and paté offered. Then came the main course and everyone enjoyed what they had, my mother even left saying the portions left her full but not too full and we talked about the wonderful culinary experience for hours after. Highly recommend. It is a must visit for Houstonians.
Very traditional and cozy set up. Atmosphere was very quiet with patrons able to enjoy soft conversations. Limited menu options and priced a little more than what i expected. Professional and experienced servers with good service.
A Houston institution I had been meaning to get to for years, I finally made the trip over for Houston Restaurant Weeks. The wild boar was the appetizer, which was surprisingly delicious and tender, my first time having it. My chicken and pasta was bland, but all of the desserts the table ordered were amazing. My friend's commented on how good the escargot was. The decor is outdated and a bit stuffy. Not sure I would go back without some updates to the decor and menu, but glad I tried it. The key lime pie was delicious!
The restaurant seems like it was a really nice french country place 20 years ago.... now, it definitely needs renovations, painting, cleaning, etc!!! The food is really good, but you can see that the presentation and quality it's missing that extra enough for me to give them 5 stars.
The place smells funny, the ceiling fans are dirty, the wines have lots of dust, the curtains smell old. You have a great chef and location, you need to invest some in bringing the nice touch!
Absolutely explicit eating establishment. I was very much impressed with the ambience, the atmosphere, the music, our food, and especially the service. The three course meal with the wild boar was absolutely exceptional and our waiter was excellent. A great homey environment along with all the essentials of fine dining really make you forget about the busy city for a moment. Excellent restaurant!
Cozy, nice French restaurant. I absolutely love the ambience, service and the food. The escargots were incredible, especially with the toasted bread. Lamb chops were stunning. Escargot and lamb chops are my favourites here. Pate was alright. Wild boar was good but the plum sauce was a bit too sweet for me and side veggies stole the show for me. And it was nice to end the lunch with a cup of tea and cream brulee.
Cozy place with good French cuisine. Service is good but a bit slow. Highly recommend escargots, roasted duck, cheese cake. Super tasty....Love it! Wish Google has 4 and a half stars....
This place is a must! If you are looking for a good authentic French cuisine this is the place. I highly recommend the boar appetizer and the escargot. Aswell the wine choices are top tier. The staff was very friendly and attentive. To top it all of they have an amazing selection for dessert. I highly recommend and will be coming back to Bistro Le Cep.
Bistro Le Cep is a culinary gem that captures the essence of French cuisine. It's the ideal destination for a romantic dinner or any special occasion. The restaurant's commitment to delivering an authentic French dining experience is evident in every aspect of the meal. Dining here is not just a meal; it's a journey through the flavors and traditions of France."
I can't wait for them to reopen so I can go again.
It was our first time going to bistro le cep, I have passed by it many times as well as gone to the daido Japanese market and genji next door. Finally decided to give a try, it was totally worth it. The complementary patê they had provided before our meal opened our palette. We had ordered that day's special, which was either red snapper or veal dinner. As we were not too hungry we decided to only order one portion of the veal meal and clam chowder as a small appetizer. The clam chowder was delicious. For our meal they had taken the courtesy to actually separate the portion onto two plates for us. The flavor was great, especially the green pepper demi glaze like sauce.
Stopped by for HRW lunch with a friend and we both loved it. Escargot is a must! It’s so buttery, herby and delicious. It’s a perfect mix of oyster/marrow IMO. The next course was the chicken piccata. It was perfectly fried and the lemon caper sauce was incredible. The dessert was creme brulee and it was thick and creamy and burnt to perfection on top. Really enjoyed their HRW lunch menu it’s definitely a place you’ll want to try!
Superb service and food. Made me feel like I was in France. Everyone was French that waited on us. Quite the experience coming from Seattle I needed some escargot!!
My folks picked this restaurant to take me to on my birthday. Great pick. This is now my favorite restaurant for French cuisine. Everything tasted great; and the servers were quick and attentive. Start with the snails!
Charming French country restaurant with really good food and service. We took my mom there for her 82nd birthday and were welcomed with confetti on our table (cute touch) and ended by then giving her a slice of chocolate mouse cake and candle. Im attaching pictures of our entrees.... I had the pork chop and husband and mom had the salmon, everyone enjoyed their meal. Would recommend.
Had dinner with one of my best friends here about a month ago.
We LOVED the food!!!
