Cafe Rabelais serves French bistro classics in Houston's University Place neighborhood — mussels, beef bourguignon, and warm bread among the dishes regulars come back for. The wine list runs deep, giving the room as much of a reputation for what's poured as what's plated.
The dining room leans romantic and low-lit, suited to a slow dinner rather than a quick stop. Diners consistently point to the wine selection and the authenticity of the cooking as the draws, though the kitchen's consistency on entrees draws mixed notes.
