Houston Top Restaurants

Introduction

Claudia and Alec like to eat food. The food near us is good. We made top restaurant lists!

Each time we visit a restaurant we fit it into the list. We try to make the lists show the order of our favorites. Our criteria for favoritism is entirely subjective: we aren't top chefs, just food-enjoyers.

Enjoy!

The Lists

Notes:

• An asterisk (*) indicates someone hasn't yet visited the restaurant. We've entered these into the list to keep the numbers the same. The position, however, defaults to last! That's not yet a rating, just a placeholder.

Do you agree?

Did we miss any great restaurants? Are there any we should revisit? What is the best order at each of these places?

Let us know! We want to know your list for the Midtown Houston area. It's all delicious, but it's also fun to argue over our favorites lists!
