University courses are devoted to Rabelais, a 15th century writer, doctor, philosopher, and humanist. Such passion for life is felt in Cafe Rabelais' cuisine!
Cafe Rabelais is in the Rice Village area and often fills fast at lunch! It is a lovely little bistro so come early if you can!
There is an eclectic mix of those in the know who frequent this hot spot! Everyone from medical doctors, Rice University professors, students from all universities and Francophiles all come here to enjoy in the French lifestyle. The wine list and wines on the wall are all impressive!
The mussels are a must! They really excel in this and their frites are some of the best in Houston!
The French invented ...well....most all great foods....so a baguette sandwich is a foregone conclusion. The mayonnaise is house made - and easy to do at home as well - except they include parsley and garlic in theirs, which provides a most delectable addition to any sandwich or fries.
If you start wondering about existentialism after the meal, it just means you're meant to come back for more - but better hurry, life is short!
