Hobbit Cafe

Owner

The Hobbit Cafe has been serving Houstonians for over 32 years. We have a unique restaurant which serves some of the best cuisine in town. Try our black bean nachos, monterey jack cheese, pico de hallo, jalapenos and sour cream. Amazing salads like the tropical chicken salad-fresh Spring mix, fruit, toasted almonds tossed in a tropical yogurt dressing topped with jerk chicken and toasted coconut. The Gandalf sandwich (avocado and mushrooms under melted cheese), avocado burger, buffalo burger and black bean burger are very tasty. Try the Caribbbean Salmon, grilled with spices and topped with jerk sauce, mango salsa and toasted coconut, valinor-steamed vegies piled high over brown rice and beans.

The Scene
Don't let the white picket fence that surrounds Hobbit's quaint, Tudor-style exterior fool you. The snug interiors, dotted with mystical artwork and washed in terra-cotta and mossy colors, are as earthy as the former site, which opened 26 years ago. The whimsical driftwood chair at the entrance and branch-handled doors take you back to the forest.

The Food
If you're not a health nut, don't despair--you'll still be able to please your palate. There are strong vegetarian choices, soothing homemade soups, enchanting sandwiches and bountiful salads (note the Greek with blackened chicken or ambrosial fruit salad tossed in yogurt, honey, almonds and coconut). Wrap up this bewitching tale with the moist, towering carrot cake. Key lime pie and white-and-dark chocolate mousse cake are also on the menu. Parched? Try the fruit smoothies and fresh juices and a limited selection of beer and wine.
