Houston is home to several memorable restaurants and these eateries stand out for a variety of characteristics, from creatively chosen locations to unexpected menu selections to exquisitely prepared dishes. Visiting one of Houston’s standout, critically acclaimed and unusual restaurant is best done with a bus, charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charter Houston.
Even though you may not always agree with food critics’ assessments, certain Houston restaurants receive consistently high reviews. "The Houston Chronicle,” says that Feast, a short charter bus ride away in downtown Houston, serves the “most interesting food in Houston, Texas, maybe even in America.” "The New York Times” states that the eatery has no American peer for epicurean adventurousness. Feast’s menu changes daily and focuses on sustainably raised meat, using as much of the animal as possible, served family style. El Real Tex Mex, set in a restored movie theater, is led by a James Beard award-winning chef. "The New York Times” describes the eatery as an artful blend of past and present, while the “Houston Press” called it “the culinary equivalent of gasoline and a match.” The eatery serves made-from-scratch Tex Mex at affordable prices.
Take your charter bus and pay a visit to Mark’s American Cuisine, featured on the Most Unusual Restaurants in the World website Set in a deconsecrated 1920s church, the dining area features and-painted walls, a dramatic golden ceiling and striking architectural details. The menu and wine lists have received awards from "Wine Enthusiast and “Gourmet Magazine.” Reef, a seafood restaurant led by one of “Food & Wine" magazine's top 10 best chefs for 2009, is set in a space that “The New York Times” describes as “refreshingly unusual,” a “soothing underwater reverie” and a “giant, theatrical stage.” The Spindletop, a favorite with charter bus visitors to Houston, offers revolving views from the 34th story of the Hyatt Regency and a menu featuring steak and seafood. Houston.com describes Spindletop as one of the city’s “most unique fine-dining restaurants.”
Although they may not be so unusual when served on their own, when two, or more, styles of cuisine come together in a fusion, it creates a memorable meal. Charter bus visitors to Houston in search of the unusual should drop in at Bombay Pizza, which fuses the tastes of Indian and Italy to create pizzas topped with Indian favorites such as tandoori chicken, saag paneer and chutney made with mint and cilantro. Peli Peli combines South African, European and American cuisine with an emphasis on spicy food flavored with bird’s-eye chilies. Stella Sola brings together Tuscan and Texan cuisine, a style that "The New York Times” describes complementarity as not as “bizarre as it sounds.” The eatery’s weekly brunch menu features dishes that use local Texas ingredients paired with Italian flavors.
