Cafe Benedicte - New American restaurant in Houston - 15455 Memorial Dr, USA

Came here for a brunch after a meetup at nearby dog park. We were able to sit outside patio, enjoy fresh air and served by friendly staff. They were so nice to bring water for my fur baby. Great food, nice atmosphere, highly recommended.

We were looking for a restaurant near where we were, and found this one on Google Maps. It didn’t disappoint. The menu has several options. I had the Chicken Tartine, which was delightful. My wife enjoyed the lamb burger. The service was great and our server was attentive without being over the top. This is a repeat when we’re in the area.

I wish I had more stars to give this restaurant! The live pianist, beautiful decor, and friendly staff set an excellent atmosphere for the delicious brunch my husband and I enjoyed here. This is the kind of place you go to eat and fall in love. The spinach omelet was so flavorful and the creamy cheeses inside kept it so moist and delicious that I didn’t need any sauce on top. I also enjoyed the bagels with smoked salmon, capers, shallots, and cream cheese! I was pleasantly surprised by how light the meal felt. Thank you, Cafe Benedicte, for a lovely, memorable brunch!

Came here for lunch and was not disappointed by the food. The paella was fragrant, flavorful, and there were threads of saffron in the dish. The ingredients were fresh. The mussels, shrimps, calamari, chorizo, and chicken were perfectly cooked. The whole dish was delicious. The lamb shank was big, and super tender. The mash potato and green bean sides were good too. Baklava for dessert was the perfect ending. The phyllo pastry was crispy, thin, and flaky. The ground walnuts added extra texture, and the honey brought the dessert together. Scrumptious! The baklava was served with a small scoop of ice cream on the side. I have never eaten a baklava with ice cream so it was new to me. However, I found the ice cream to be unnecessary as the baklava was already a sweet dessert. I couldn’t taste the sweetness from the ice cream after eating just one small spoon of baklava. I received great service today and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant has an olden but modern look, and there are plenty of seats for small and big groups. There is plenty of parking too. I will be back for sure.

This place is fantastic. The cocktail, a vodka martini, was perfect. The calamari was very good. I had the blackened redfish Pontchartrain and my wife had the lamb shank; both entrees were absolutely fantastic. Service very good and unrushed. We have to go back.

First visit but we'll be back. I ordered the 5oz filet and my husband ordered the pork chop with cream sauce. Both meals were absolutely perfect! I liked that I could sub the mashed potatoes for more veggies to stay low carb. Very calm peaceful setting.

Excellent service and great prices. And the food is exquisite. The piano bar is a nice touch. The Staff will recall your name after you visit them a time or two.

First time here, my wife and I were amazed at how great the food was. She ordered an Angus Burger and I ordered a Gyro plate. The staff was amazing too, especially our waiter Eric who was very informative and attentive to us. Will definitely tell my family and friends about this gem! Definitely coming back.
