Cafe Azur

I had never been to Cafe Azur but wanted a French restaurant with a good atmosphere for my birthday dinner. We booked a large party reservation on a leap of faith. This place completely exceeded our expectations. The GM was extremely hospitable and flexible in helping us coordinate our party down to every last detail. The upstairs was reserved for us and all set up by the time we arrived and the service was excellent. The food was divine, I've had lobster ravioli in Paris and Cafe Azur's lobster ravioli was just as delicious. I was shocked! The chef brought me a gorgeous dessert with my name written in chocolate and the GM even gave me a handwritten birthday card. I would highly recommend this place, as they had the best service I've had in Houston but also really made the extra effort to make my birthday special. The food and drinks were also excellent. This is a fabulous restaurant and I'd highly recommend it for a special event.

The food was very tasty and well presented. We went on Mother's Day so the menu was limited. The tab was pretty high for this special day. The only gripe was they charged for the plain French Bread for the table. We will try some other day, but right now I am not ready to go back any time too soon even though I gave them a 4 star.

A very welcome replacement to Brasserie Max and Julie, the new owners have imported the wonderful feeling and culture from the Cote d'Azur to create a light and airy but very "foody" atmosphere. The four of us tried the special menu for Mothers Day and relished the well considered flavors and combinations. The "perfect egg" starter was a big hit. Service was friendly and attentive. The chef's wife is the restaurant manager and was keen to hear about our experience. "Bon Chance" to Cafe Azur.

The food was amazing. The perfect egg is incomparable. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable (we had to ask a lot of questions because of unfamiliarity). And we don't drink but the wine was very much enjoyed by the rest of the company. Somewhat expensive but that's to be expected with such high quality food.

The old Max & Julies was taken over by Azur. The atmosphere is nice, but if the weather is good,... ask for a patio table. We had dinner outside on the patio, and it was very romantic. Service was 5 stars, our waiter was prompt and very helpful. The food was really good to my surprise. We had muscles and steak tartare for an appetizer, they were both fantastic. We also ordered some chickpeas fries, it was recommended by our waiter. Wowwwwww!! It was my favorite dish,... Amazing!! Dinner was duck and fresh vegetables,... it was seasoned well and at the perfect temperature! I would definitely recommend this place! Thank you.

Excellent in all dimensions. The perfect egg is amazing in flavour, aroma, palate and consistency. The linguine really truffled (see pics) and top with another perfectly paired egg. The duck, medium rare, is juicy, tasty, along with a crispy balance of skin. Will come back again... and again. Friendly service too.
