Mediterranean Cuisine
March
If you want to sit down and enjoy a great Mediterranean meal in Houston, we can’t think of a place that’s any better than March. Always exploring new ways to take their unique ingredients and turn them into a delicacy that’s even more spectacular than what’s already on the menu, the folks at March will make your dining experience one to remember. Under the guidance of chef Felipe Riccio, the March staff brings Mediterranean food to a whole new level of fine dining. As for what to eat, we suggest March’s Lamb Consomme and Tuna Ventresca.

Portuguese Cuisine
Oporto
If you haven’t had much Portuguese cuisine in your lifetime, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. To find out, make plans to visit Oporto. Considered one of the best international restaurants in Houston, it even features a kid’s menu. But for us adults, we suggest trying the Portuguese Power Lunch, which offers three courses for only $25. If you want to try this, we recommend the Caldo Verde, which is a classic potato and kale soup, followed by Portuguese Squid Fried Rice and a helping of house-made gelato.

Combining everything that makes Chinese food special, Mala Sichuan features a little bit of everything for those who love Chinese cooking. In our opinion, we suggest you try such dishes as Mala Beef Tendon, Original Wontons, and the Brown Sugar Sticky Rice Cake.

Indian Cuisine
Biryani Pot
While we don’t eat Indian cuisine that often, when we do we remember why it is considered to be so delicious. We’re going to be like more and more Houstonians and make more frequent trips to Biryani Pot. Featuring nearly 100 a la carte lunch and dinner options as well as plenty of vegetarian meals, you’ll find something great with each visit. Also, the restaurant is noted for its extremely friendly service, so expect to get plenty of attention and see plenty of smiles from your servers.

Ethiopian Cuisine
Blue Nile
When we first heard of the Blue Nile, we had to give this Ethiopian restaurant a try right away, and we are glad we did. In Houston since 1994, the Blue Nile has lots of great selections, some of which include Fitfit, Yemissir Wot, Chicken Tibs, and Shrimp Wot. For dessert, we suggest the delightful Pistachio Cake.

German Cuisine
King’s Bierhaus
Finally, King’s Bierhaus brings the very best German food and beverages to us here in Houston. Growing in popularity by the day, we suggest trying The Texan, a gourmet hotdog filled with guacamole, pickled jalapenos, and much more. Also, have a BBQ Schnitzel along the way, which has pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and melted cheese among its ingredients.
