To experience French cuisine, you don’t have to venture very far from 7 Seventy. Nearby Bistro Provence serves gourmet French dishes that are simple, but loaded with flavor.
Once you walk into this Houston eatery, you’ll immediately get a sense for the laid-back atmosphere. The dining room has a rustic feel, thanks to the heavy wood finishes, exposed brick, and aged plaster. Once you’ve finished looking around, turn your attention to the menu. Don’t be intimidated by many of the selections that are written in French — just look at the item descriptions so you can decide on a dish.
Start with an appetizer such as the salade du soleil, which consists of seared scallops, pesto, avocados, and heirloom tomatoes. You could also opt for a soup or salad and follow it up with some pizza or a main course. A variety of entrees feature pasta, steak, beef, pork, and roasted duck. If you’re in the mood for fish, order the filet de truite almondine, a dish that features fresh rainbow trout sautéed in brown butter and almonds.
