1. Cecelia Creole Bistro

Located at 421 North 3rd Street, this OpenTable Diners’ Choice pick serves traditional Creole food in a warm, welcoming environment. Start your meal off with pork belly and andouille egg rolls or try the Parisian gnocchi with Louisiana crawfish tails. Dinner selections include New Orleans-style shrimp and grits, jerk fried chicken breast, and short ribs.

The lunch menu features tempting sandwich selections like a fried green tomato BLT. If you prefer something heartier, treat yourself to the Wagyu steak frites, served with hand-cut fries and garlic aioli. If you’re 21 or older, don’t miss the selection of traditional and specialty cocktails. Please drink responsibly and in moderation, and never drink and drive. Before you leave, enjoy a decadent crème brûlée or white chocolate and blueberry bread pudding for dessert.

For a stylish combination of classic and modern eats, visit Rouj Creole at 7601 Bluebonnet Boulevard. In addition to lunch and dinner, Rouj Creole offers an impressive weekend brunch menu. Try the smoked brisket and hash, served with tasso, onion gravy, and fried eggs, or the sweet and savory French toast sliders stuffed with egg and bacon.

With a children’s menu that includes kid-friendly selections like fried shrimp, chicken tenders, and brisket and gravy, Rouj Creole is a great place to enjoy a family meal. There’s also a private event room that can accommodate up to 40 people for parties and meetings.

3. Parrain’s Seafood

This eatery at 3225 Perkins Road serves up Creole dishes for seafood lovers. Mouth-watering appetizer selections include bacon-wrapped shrimp, fried crab fingers, and seafood au gratin.

On a cool evening, you can warm up with a delicious bowl of crab and corn bisque or seafood gumbo before climbing back into the heated seats in your Genesis G80.

While seafood is Parrain’s specialty, there are plenty of delicious non-seafood items on the menu as well. Start with crispy eggplant Ponchartrain or mozzarella sticks and enjoy a fried cornish hen or a juicy ribeye steak.
