Noted as the city’s best Lord of the Rings fans can enjoy a simple meal here. The café is located amongst the branches of a large oak tree and inside you will find beautiful wooden furnishings with maps of Middle Earth dressing the walls to create a lively and suitable family location. The meals are basic but well created and given very interesting names, if you wish to stop off at the café then there is something for vegetarians and meat eaters alike to enjoy. For example one speciality sandwich named Bilbo the Magnificent comprises of guacamole, tomato, cucumber and sprouts or you prefer then you could choose one of the half pound buffalo burgers and Jamaican jerk chicken. There is a choice of vegetarian and vegan meals but this does change daily so for more details on the pick of the day you would need to contact the café direct. You will find the café is open from Monday – Thursday 11am – 9.30pn, Friday 11am – 10.30pm, Saturday 10.30am – 10.30pm and Sunday 10.30am – 9pm.
2) It is said that “you can’t swing a burrito in Houston without hitting a Latin American restaurant”, one that comes highly recommended is Chuys Comida Deluxe located on Kirby Drive where you can enjoy a great tex-mex meal and it is said that you won’t find the best margaritas anywhere else. There is something here for adults and children with two different menus and for adults you can enjoy anything from tacos to enchiladas but if this is too daring for younger children then they could settle with a simple burger and fries if they prefer. The restaurant is open Sunday to Thursday from 11am to 11pm and Friday and Saturday 11am – 12am. Prices are quite reasonable with the children’s menu ranging from about $4 and for adults you could expect to fork out anything from $7 to about $20 but you are getting excellent portions and good quality cuisine.
3) One benefit of dining out in Houston is that there are some restaurants that can offer great cuisine with a view of the city to match. The Skyline Bar and Grill can offer just this, located on the 24th Floor of Hilton Americas hotel, you can enjoy a meal whilst taking in the skyline of Houston. It was voted as “Best View” by H Texas Magazine and until you visit, you won’t know how breathtaking it is. When you arrive you will receive an excellent service and if possible ask for a table along the windowed wall for the best view. The menu offers a selection of cuisine which consists of a French, Asian and Mediterranean mixture. You can enjoy dishes such as wild mushroom ravioli or rock lobster salad. After the main course then why not finish off your meal with a tasty chocolate hazelnut mousse which is full of flavour. The best time to visit is at dusk when you watch the sun setting over the city bringing the skyline to life once the first night time lights are lit. Reservations are allowed and if you want to book a table or you have any queries on the menu then you can contact the restaurant on (713) 739-8000.
