Cafe Piquet in Bellaire
Eat here for excellent Cuban cuisine. This is about as close as one can come to Havana without leaving Houston. The restaurant is decorated with lovely photos, artwork, and curios depicting Cuba, which gives the restaurant an authentic atmosphere. The menu offers a very wide variety of dishes. We like to start with an off-menu item--a basket of warm plaintain chips topped with chopped roasted garlic. I like the grilled chicken breast (Pollo a la Plancha) or thin-cut sirloin (Palomilla), both of which come with grilled onions on top and black beans, white rice, and sweet plantains on the side. There are plenty of typical Cuban dishes too, such as Ropa Vieja (shredded beef in tomato and wine sauce) and Cuban sandwiches, if you are more adventurous. Service is excellent and prices are very reasonable. Cafe Piquet is definitely worth a visit.
