Business Summary what's this?
Le Mistral in Houston is a two star French restaurant. This is a moderately priced restaurant. This place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice an elegant atmosphere. This restaurant features brunch and lunch.
Le Mistral Restaurant has carved a niche for itself on the West side of Houston with some of the finest French cuisine the greater Houston area has to offer. While customers may detect a hint of Provencal flair on the menu, authentically derived from Chef and Co-owner David Denis' background, Le Mistral clearly represents all regions of France.Le Mistral's offerings boast an upscale bar with a flat screen television; wine cellar off the main dining area that seats up to 10; a chef's table in the kitchen for those with impeccable taste who would like a completely individualized meal; banquet room for special occasions and business functions; and soon-to-be specialty foods store, called Foody's Gourmet, which will offer Le Mistral signature items, French specialty foods, cheese and wine as well as cooking and wine classes.
5.0 of 5 stars.

Start with the seared foie gras, then have the lamb chops with gnochi for dinner and the souffle for dessert, you won't be dissapointed! Big portions, friendly owner walks around the tables.
