Local culinary virtuosos Alain and Marie LeNôtre, the masterminds behind the Culinary Institute LeNôtre, are closing the chapter on Kris Bistro and bringing their latest concept to the forefront – Le Bistro – a premier restaurant and training facility. Located in the heart of the Culinary Institute, Le Bistro is an exquisite fine-dining experience aimed at enhancing the education and future career of the chef-in-training students.

True to the teaching atmosphere, Le Bistro gives diners the unique opportunity to interact with and view LeNôtre's students in action through the dining room’s wrap-around windows. The menu boasts a delectable array of modern takes on French classics and offers salads, petits plats and main courses along with dessert selections that are made fresh from scratch daily. With items ranging from the standard Croque Monsieur to the Gulf Snapper Coubion, Le Bistro offers an exciting perspective on French cuisine. Other enticing entrées include Sweet Tea Brined Pork Chop, Buffalo Striploin Au Poivre and French Green Lentils. The well-rounded wine list consists of 60 world-class wines and a few hand-selected beers. Le Bistro is also a certified Green Restaurant allowing students to master their skills with primarily Texas grown and locally sustainable ingredients.
