Below, I share my delicious experience at a French restaurant in the Museum District. Plus, which popular barbecue restaurant opened a new location at Memorial City?

My Le Jardinier Experience

Have you all tried Le Jardinier? If not, definitely add this one-of-a-kind French restaurant inside the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston to your list. Last month, Le Jardinier hosted a two-day “A Taste of Spring” event, where they served delectable three-course lunches and five-course dinners crafted by Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli. I’m still thinking about my dessert from dinner! If you’re in need of Mother’s Day plans, make a reservation for their three-course Mother’s Day brunch on Sunday, May 12.
