Editorial Review for Bistro Provence – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Owned by Monique and Georges Guy (of the well-established Chez Georges that attracted Francophiles out West), and run by his sons, Provence is warm and cozy, with eyelet covered lamps and blue and yellow dressed tables that keep you cheerful even if you rub elbows with neighbors on both sides.
The Food
It excels with saucy chicken, beef stews and grilled items. They tend to be dry, but all is forgiven after adding surely the most authentic bearnaise in Houston. Purists may be quick to order the confit de lapin, a simmered red rabbit confit with candied onions and prunes. But the fearful will be comforted with four different pizzas and several soups. The wines are French and desserts include natural citrus sorbets, rice pudding with caramel and baba au rhum, a grainy sponge cake smothered in rhum syrup with a poached apricot and whipped cream.

After a long weekend with out power , me and my family decided to go eat , our friends have told us about this place outside of wilcrest. The bread was not hot and they served us some spices that where bittter and tasteless.They also said they didnt have the full menu and was limited to a special chalk board that to me was not readable after that we ordered the specials but for us it was not to our satatisfaction we wont be going back.
Pros: sat outside
Cons: tasteless spices and no full menu

We have been there twice and the food and service is beyond expectations of the finest restaurants in Houston. The food is superb; prepared with a flair and skill far beyond what I would have expected from a small restaurant in Houston. This is in my humble opinion the best dining value in Houston. For anyone who enjoys French cuisine at it’s best you can not afford to miss this opportunity to delight your taste buds.
Pros: Chef, wait staff, food preparation, escarot!!!, bread
