“Philippe Restaurant & Lounge”

Posted on February 20, 2011 by DILSAT BAYSAL

New, exciting, casual but very hip, excellent food and great location!!! It is definitely all of the above at this new exciting location “Philippe Restaurant & Lounge” on Post Oak Lane that just has been opened by great chef “Philippe Schmit”. It is featuring an interesting french menu in a stylish setting in this new restaurant. I have visited this great restaurant on Saturday and had a great experience. It looks like it is going to make a new style setting among Houston Restaurants. I loved the exciting menu and the accessible prices on their food menu and wine list. I have tried several items and they all came with great presentation. All were freshly prepared.

From my choices I highly recommend…Starter..French cheeses with green apple jelly, fig-Banylus compote, green olive mousse, excellent dish to …or…SOUP…The French Onion Soup was also perfectly done…MAIN..But if you are a Seafood lover, then don’t miss the Fish and Shellfish bouillabaisse with fennel, saffron, tomato broth. It was filled with fresh seafood…Dessert Menu...was amazing! I have tried and will recommend especially jasmine crème brulée with banana ice cream and sesame butter cookie …Great selection!

A great restaurant to visit!

Congratulations Chef “Philippe Schmit”…

Arturo’s Uptown Park/ Houston

Posted on February 20, 2011 by DILSAT BAYSAL

It is not just the food that makes a restaurant special, it is also the atmosphere that sets the great will to go back over and over again to a restaurant like “Arturo’s”. Especially on a sunny beautiful day, the terrace of Arturo’s Italian Restaurant in Uptown Park is always inviting. Lunch time is always filled with business people or friends meeting for lunch. Last week, I have enjoyed my lunch with the great setting, perfect service, and had the same great dish “Insalata Di Manzo” that I usually have for lunch.

This dish is a very light and healthy combination of sliced beef tenderloin over mixed greens with tomatoes, mozzarella and Gorgonzola cheeses, apples, walnuts and with a very light olive oil dressing. It was perfectly prepared as always!

I highly recommend “Arturo’s” for lunch or dinner with it’s great location in Uptown Park it is one of the great Italian restaurants to visit in Houston.
