Great for breakfast. Nothing fancy but some interesting menu items. Fresh OJ. It's just a couple of blocks away. The outside patio is dog friendly.

Hugo Ortega is a James Beard Award winner. Hugo's is one of several of his restaurants in Houston. The margaritas are the best in town.
If you are dining by yourself, just go sit at the bar. You will make friends quickly.
They also have an outdoor patio and Pups are welcome!

Great to stop in and pick up food to take home. Or, eat in. It's BYOB.
The pita bread is cooked onsite.

One of the few places that can truly handle an international menu and do justice to the flavors of different regions. The bar has top notch cocktails. My favorite is the Shogun.

Eclectic at its best. Some of the best food I've had in a very long time. Highly recommend any and all of the ceviche dishes. And totally walking distance in the new Montrose Collective.

We go here for breakfast and brunch. But lunch and dinner are pretty good as well. This is not TexMex....it's much more authentic. Highly recommend. And killer margs.

Some of the best views of Houston are only 15 minutes away at East River 9. Play a quick round of gold, a few sets of pickelball, or just enjoy the sunset and a cocktail. The menu is basic bar food. Cocktails are good. Usually live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunsets are amazing.

Some of the best Texas music comes to the Mucky Duck. Live performances almost every night of the week. The menu is pretty good as well. Very small, intimate location. You are pretty much within arms reach of the band. Make reservations.

Local Breweries
Even though Karbach was recently purchased by a large brewery, they are still a great place to spend a little time. They have a more than decent restaurant, dog-friendly outdoor place and often have live music.
St. Arnold's is one of the first local craft breweries. The founder was a student at Rice University when he got started. The business has flourished and now has a very large tasting room, sponsors lots of local events and has a great pet-friendly outdoor pavilion.
