This week in Houston food reviews has Robb Walsh visiting Saffron, a new Moroccan restaurant on Lexington just off Shepherd. After a review that foodies should appreciate, Walsh concludes:
Belly dancers, exotic cocktails and an assortment of delicacies make Saffron one of the most exciting new restaurants to open in the city this year. With a few logistical adjustments to the silverware and seating, it could also become one of the most popular.
Great stuff from the most compelling writer at the Press.
Alison Cook pays a visit to Katy to the new Original Marini’s Empanada House (which is obviously not quite original, since it’s located some 30 miles from what was the original in the heart of Montrose). Cook’s happy with the old favorite, which is great for folks in Katy one supposes. It would be nice, however, if Houston’s only newspaper might devote at least one food review per week to a Houston restaurant.
They do go exploring bars this week, though. Gracie Ochoa devotes five paragraphs to the Indigo Lounge, and leaves the reader wondering if three wouldn’t have been enough. And R.J. Middleton visits a few English-themed pubs, but not the Stag’s Head Pub (unfortunately), which offers patrons wireless internet access in addition to a great selection of brews on tap.
And after a bit of a hiatus, Trivial Pursuits returns to food blogging, with a review of Kenny & Ziggy’s Delicatessen in the Galleria area. blogHOUSTON readers should encourage TP to keep these great reviews coming. And if readers know of any other bloggers posting on Houston restaurants, please let us know, as it’s an area where the local print publications are coming up a little short.
