    Fruit tart, almond pear tart, and vanilla coconut frappe w two added shots
    Monique T.

    This place was so unassuming, and delicious!!! We got the fruit tart- it was so fresh and not too sweet (I fell in love!) and the almond pear tart was so good too!!!! Incredibly fragrant and not too sweet. Their coffee selection was also great- I got the vanilla coconut frappe and it was so refreshing. I added 2 shots and it was perfection!

    What a discovery ! Yelp has (or had) this suggestion like thing which started with, ' I was passing by and saw this hole in the wall'.... that Sunday it felt like Deja Vu, its a little french corner in Rice Village- so adorably cute. The interiors and furniture all reflect a vintage look. They have coffee, croissants, pastries, cakes, quiche, soup and more. (Although soup is available for lunch and after only ....after 11am) Got 2 croissants 1 plain 1 with almonds and chocolate Both were very soft and buttery. It was obvious that it was not made that morning , but that did not matter to me , the softness and taste confirmed it was not old either. It was a Sunday morning around 7 am! Oh... they carry eggs which they will boil for you. The place was swarming with people, - yes, even that early - so it must be popular place in the neighborhood. Also got coffee- A latte A cappuccino They were both great. You need to add your own sugar. I ordered mine extra hot so the taste lingered on for a while. What I especially liked- the newspapers and magazines lying around in wicker baskets. Coffee , Croissants, a beautiful Sunday morning, and current newspaper ! I can't think of a more relaxed way to start the morning before a long week.....

    I believe this is a pear bourdaloue? It was fun to try!

    I visited here back when I was in high school and felt like visiting again recently because I was craving french cafe vibes. We tried lots of different foods including the chocolate ganache cake, a pear tart that I believe is called pear bourdaloue, croque monsieur, ham quiche, provençal salad, spinach salad, iced mocha, and an iced milky way. In terms of quality of food, it was on par with most cafes. The quiches were nice and filled my body with warmth as I took my first bites. Out of all the foods we tried, I'd recommend the croque monsieur and the iced mocha! My cousin had the iced milky way and rated it a 10/10. The waiters were also very friendly and helpful when trying to decide what to order. One downside of this place is it pretty cramped as it is a small cafe, but I think that just adds to the aesthetic and I didn't really mind. I also wish the drinks didn't come with so much ice, I drink my beverages pretty slowly but even I finished mine very quickly. I wonder if you can ask for less ice in your drinks? Overall, it's a fun experience and there's lots of fun pastries & desserts to try! Perfect for a foodie looking to explore more places

    Stopped here as another spot was closed on Mondays. Cozy indoor space with some outdoor seating. Semi -busy around 10 in the morning. Ordered a few items to try. Apricot Danish-stood out as you don't see this everywhere-delicious, Mushroom Quiche-just the right amount of mushrooms and savory-we enjoyed it, Croissant-flaky and buttery, and enjoyed my Cappuccino also. A nice selection of pastries and desserts as well Quiche (6 varieties) and sandwiches (Croque Monsieur) to name a few. Service was friendly and quick. Now added to my Cafe stops when visiting Rice Village.

    Red pepper soup
    Kyla F.

    Have been driving by this place and wanting to try it for years, and finally made it in! It was delicious and sooooo reasonably priced! It was also super cozy inside, had newspapers everywhere, and just felt super nostalgic and wholesome. I loved my red pepper chili soup and then we split the black and white cake which was light and great. Will 100% be back!

    This place was popping when we went! Cozy on the inside with lots of tables and seats. The French onion soup was one of better ones I've had - good flavors and not too salty. Their spinach quiche... also good! Vanilla eclair was okay, next time I'd op for the chocolate one. Their sign also says "fresh squeezed lemonade" which I tried - there was no sign of pulp so not sure I believe that anymore lol. Their chai latte was delicious. Overall, good experience with the food and would go back. They don't have much of a system for when food is ready - so pretty sure 2 people after me got the French onion soup ahead of me - so definitely recommend waiting by the counter so you don't get passed up on!

    Mushroom quiche
    Taylor Y.

    Such a cute place for a quick brunch! The locals frequent this shop, as it was completely packed on a Saturday morning. I personally tried the oat mile latte and a slice of mushroom quiche. Both were delicious. I had no trouble finding a seat for myself, but I imagine it would be a little bit more difficult to find seating for a larger group. Overall, the vibes were immaculate.

    Almond croissant and a flat white coffee
    Vett C.

    Today I stopped in for my favorite Flat White coffee and an Apple croissant. It was a little bit on the dry side and very dense, the customer service always impeccable and I enjoy sitting in the restaurant it's peaceful.

    Love Croissant Brioche for our weekly coffee catch up with friends! There are limited tables outdoors and a cozy interior. The service is simple and efficient. Don't worry if the line is long, it moves quickly and you never know who you may share a communal table with. ;)

    Almond Croissant
    Mohsin S.

    Counter service was good quick. Almond croissant was a couple of days old. Cappuccino not quite up to par. Place has some tables outside. Nice inside as well. Not a happy visit for me overall

    Got the French onion soup in a cup. Hit the spot just right. Old style cafe friendly.

    Right is carrot cake and the left is white and black chocolate cake
    Suelynn N.

    My friend and I came here for a coffee and cake lunch. The cakes were super delicious and soft, and not too overpowering. The coffee on the other hand taste very weak and watery. Maybe we came on a bad day. Other ladies at the desk were helpful and quick. The café was busy at this time so it was kinda hard to hear the staff. There was a lot of people here working on their laptops or studying. The tables and chairs are decent their waiter was constantly cleaning because it was super busy. Some of the chairs are a little bit wobbly, but that's fine. They do have an outdoor tables and chairs area if you want to bring your dog. There is street parking or parking lots paid by meter. Or the parking garage where the first two hours are free. You do not want to park in the lot next to the café because they will tow you.

    Quiche, soup, hot chocolate, chai
    Taryn H.

    Super cute cafe/restaurant in rice village area! So so many selection of cakes, soups, pastries etc. amazing quiche, soup and drinks! I got 6 flavors of the cake and I highly recommend the carrot cake.

    If I would like to pick up a full tiramisu cake do I need to order ahead?

    Yes, otherwise you are risking that they will not have a whole one available.

    Excellent experience. I came for HRW brunch & to celebrate my birthday…read more Food: - chilled zucchini veloute (+$10)- creamy and refreshing - tuna tartare (+18) - the touch of lime with creamy avocado made each bite delectable, portioned well w the bread - branzino - crispy skin, lightly flavored to let the fish shine, highly recommend - steak & eggs (+$25) - the steak was cooked perfectly however it wasn't too special, I'd recommend branzino instead - cremeux - star of the show, highly recommend if you are a chocolate lover!!!!! The caramel foam was not really sweet if you are concerned about it - la fraiser - a bit too sweet for me but still good Service: Very very slow. It took so long to get the menu, get our order placed, and to get the check. The only con. Parking: Validated in the garage (at least 4 hours because we perused the museum after and still had validated parking once we left)

    Extremely disappointing experience with the reservation process…read more We made a reservation through Resy on July 25, 2026, for August 15 2026, more than three weeks before my planned arrival in Houston. I will be visiting Houston for only two days and specifically planned this trip around experiencing Houston Restaurant Weeks. Today, we received an email informing me that I would have needed a separate reservation specifically for the Restaurant Week menu. Unfortunately, by the time I found this out, those reservations were already sold out. We also reached out directly to the restaurant and spoke with Catherine Park from the Hostess Team. We were told there was nothing she could do, and I requested that she escalate this issue to management, as this situation is extremely frustrating and disappointing. The biggest issue is that this requirement was not clearly communicated on the Resy reservation page when I made my reservation. There was no clear indication that a separate Restaurant Week reservation was required, nor was there an option presented during the booking process. I have participated in Restaurant Week events in many cities across the United States, and I have never encountered a system where guests must make a completely separate reservation just to access the Restaurant Week menu. Typically, guests make a reservation and can decide between available menus when they arrive. Since Restaurant Week was the reason I chose this restaurant, this has been extremely disappointing. I will now be looking for a different restaurant for my Houston visit.

    Parfait! From beginning to the bittersweet end…read more I was craving one thing, foie gras. Apparently super hard to find around Houston. They nailed it for me! Just savory heaven. Had the charity chef menu. Every dish was exquisite. No complaints or adjustments. Coming from me that's a huge feat :) They even allowed me to switch to the poele instead of the torchon. So grateful and was plenty filling the 4 courses. The redfish de jour was fantastic. The filet de beof was tenderly delicious with all the comfort sides. The pastilla chocolat was decadent bliss. Almost like a melted brownie inside a crisp thin pastry with the right accent of sorbet and lychee. The service was accommodating and prompt. The only thing I could add to this is I wish they were more informative when the dishes came out. That's my only suggestion but the food didn't really need description as it was a novel in taste. Well done Etoile. Merci beaucoup

We had an older gentleman server and asked him to take a picture of us. He said he was busy and ignored us. Then later when it was time to order we told him that my wife has never eaten here so what he would recommend or what's the most popular. He said "just choose what you like". Then we asked for Houston Restaurant week what has been the most popular options yesterday. He replied "I didn't work yesterday". So we had no idea what to order, no recommendations, and no service.

    TLDR: Worth a visit if you're in the area?…read more Wow! Hidden gem? Forgotten favorite? I don't know, but after tasting the food, we have to get the word out about this spot. Arriving around lunchtime on a weekday, I had the place to myself which allowed me a unique opportunity to take the place in. That being said, this spot is not overly French cafe themed, but instead a classic suburban strip mall spot with nods to the French peppered throughout the menu and decor. The booth area is well-designed, the spot was clean and the table touched by light so after a great experience chatting with the cashier I was crossing my fingers, hoping the food matched the vibe. I had a crepe Mexicana (because who has ever heard of that?!), a croque monsieur with tomato soup, and a dessert crepe because y'all know I always save room for dessert. It took a minute to be prepared, but I'm willing to wait for a fresh made meal. Everything, was delicious. Crepe texture was on point, and each crepe was stuffed to the Gods. Positive experience all around. My tip: Order the tomato soup and finish your meal with the following combo- a dessert Crepe Almonds with strawberries. Trust me on that one!

Such a lovely restaurant, with two slightly different vibes depending on the day. Sundays are more lively with a live band, while Saturdays are a bit more relaxed--but still busy. I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. My only small note from my most recent visit was that it felt a little warm inside. I get it, it's Texas and it was a hot day, but I wouldn't have minded the AC being turned up a bit more . Now for the good stuff, food! I've tried a variety of items and have yet to be disappointed. Some standouts: French Toast (5/5): One of the best I've had. Thick slices, no eggy taste, and the crème anglaise with fresh berries are the perfect adds. Lobster Tacos (5/5): More like a lobster salad packed into crispy mini taco shells, the perfect little bites. Shrimp Tempura & Caviar 4/5: Tried this most recently and loved it. The batter had the perfect crunch. I also recommend the Rosé all day punch (not on the menu, but ask your server - it's a frozen berry ball with sparkling champagne and rosé) breakfast potatoes and sausage, salmon entrée, and even the french fries. The service has always been great. On my most recent visit, our server was especially awesome. They were very attentive, polite, and gave great recommendations (especially for mocktails). There are several options for parking including valet, street parking, and a garage. Valet runs around $6-$10, street parking is metered (I paid about $6 for two hours), and the garage was free and really easy the last time I went. Overall, this is a spot I'll keep coming back to and recommending again and again. Looking forward to trying even more of the menu next time!

Four basic drinks - Tito's & club soda - came to $97 before tip. Nothing about the experience justifies paying nearly $25 a drink. It certainly feels like Toulouse used the World Cup as an excuse to jack up prices, and if that's the case, it's a pretty shitty way to treat your regular customers. Houston locals are the people who kept this place busy long before the tourists arrived. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium experience. I do mind feeling like I'm being gouged. There are too many great bars and restaurants in Houston to justify coming back here.
