Downtown Houston
Six spots worth knowing in Downtown Houston. One clears our top tier.
ChòpnBlọk is the standout — Delicious as F*ck, with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a James Beard Finalist nod, and a spot on the NYT Restaurant List. Three more land at Delicious: Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Theodore Rex, and Xochi, each carrying their own Michelin or Beard recognition. Papalo Taqueria and Zaranda round it out at Damn Good. Small list, but nothing on it is filler.
