Incroyable! Magnifique! Without question the best meal I have had since I moved to Texas 2 years ago. And being an ex-chef I am extra picky. Here you will find the sort of meal so richly delicious that you feel a little drunk afterward, even if you haven't touched a drop of alcohol. I mean that literally. If you have never been here you are doing yourself a disservice. This is not fussy French food, nor nouvelle cuisine in impossible arrangements on huge plates...what I call silly food...so tiny you have to get a burger afterward...oh no...THIS is the real thing.
I had the Chicken with Wild Mushrooms (I won't attempt the french spelling) and my wife had the Wild Boar with Plum Sauce. My first bite made my eyes roll up in my head. It was that good. Succulent, moist but with a crispness to the outside that few places seem to be able to accomplish. My tablemate moaned when she tasted the boar. I rather expected it to be somewhere in the pork family flavorwise but it was really more of a beef flavor profile. In fact both dishes were so delicious that we kept grabbing bites off each other's plates throughout the meal. My mouth is watering just writing this. For dessert they brought a sort of chocolate mousse pie (maybe it was french silk) with a candle in it, free of charge. The plate drizzled with raspberry and if I'm not mistaken, passionfruit sauces (maybe mango) no matter, the chocolate is the important thing...creamy, decadently smooth and thick in texture...I can only describe it as a choco-gasm. The wife had her heart set on Creme Brulee so we ordered that as well. Without a doubt the creamiest and most decadent I have had, in a word - superb. And to make it even better, this isn't one of those a la carte places like certain other high end restaurants in Houston where you have to pay $10 for a potato. In fact according to my research, BISTRO LE CEP IS ON AVERAGE $10 CHEAPER PER MENU ITEM THAN HOUSTON'S OTHER FINE DINING ESTABLISHMENTS, ACROSS THE BOARD
I was searching for a special spot for my anniversary and after a great deal of research I found Bistro Le Cep right down the street from my home. Quaint, warm ambiance and unlike most places in Houston the acoustics are fabulous so you don't have to listen to the conversation of every other diner in the place.
We arrived to find we had been given a corner table scattered with confetti and streamers in honor of our anniversary and best of all, not a single member of the staff, including the owner who came to our table to give his best wishes, did so much as blink an eye at the discovery that the anniversary couple was two women. We were treated with the utmost respect.
Service was impeccable, with delicious fresh bread brought to the table at intervals throughout the meal, very attentive without being obtrusive or obsequious. Cute boys with French accents too...if that's your thing. We have already decided that we will be regulars at Bistro Le Cep and have told pretty much everyone we know that they HAVE to try it. You should too.
According to clippings and awards posted around the restaurant Chef Mannke has been working in fine dining establishments all over the world since the '60s. It shows...believe me...it shows.
I only have one issue with the place...nothing major really just a question...Why is the cow out front anatomically correct?
