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.

My husband is not a fan of french food, but he changed his mind after his visit to Bistro Provence. The food is simply amazing and it's a cozy & romantic place to bring a date!

I surprised my husband and took him here for our anniversary. I was hoping it would be close to our favorite little place we found in Paris-and it did. The ambience is similar, very cute, little and romantic. The chef is amazing. I am so glad I read the reviews here! It is fabulous! The creme brulee was perfect, and we highly recommend the mango duck. Be prepared to be wowed.
Pros: Very France like
Cons: does not take reservations
