Deliciousness In Training

These three assets are rarely grouped together when describing fine dining. But that's what you'll experience at Kris Bistro, the new student and chef-certified, alumni-run restaurant in the Culinary Institute LeNôtre. Expect carefully prepared modern French bistro fare showcasing local ingredients, house-cured meats, and modestly priced French wines and microbreweries in a warm and contemporary space fashioned with works by Houston artists. Recent highlights: Terrific salads almost too pretty to eat; plump steamed mussels in herbs and white wine served with artisan bread; and pork tenderloin with bourbon glazed Fredericksburg peaches over polenta cakes. Bravo!
