Recently went here for HRW. This place is really unique and has some cool decor. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I went during lunch, and it wasn't too busy, which was a plus. We made a reservation because I had heard this place gets packed. I got the potato croquette, the steak frites (which was +$24), and the chocolate dome. The potato croquette was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed it. It was crispy with a soft interior, and the sauce tasted like a tomato bisque, which paired really well with it. The steak frites, on the other hand, was not good. I'm used to steak frites being cut already, which isn't a big deal, but this steak was WELL DONE when I ordered medium rare. The waitress did offer to make me another one since I only ate two bites, but I don't like sending food back. So, I just kept it, didn't eat it, and still paid for it. :( The chocolate dome was good. The flavors were decent, and I liked the texture. The cappuccino was bland and boring. I don't think I'll be going back here. read more

We came here today for lunch for their special promotion of seafood platter on (Wednesday and Sunday ) but very disappointed that they missed 2 items on their fix menu which are clams and mussels. They offer to replace as shrimps but we don't like shrimps. If you decide to have promotion on certain items then you should have stock thẹn accordingly. Missing 1 item in the menu is bad but 2 is worse. We felt like we got trick to come because of the promotion. Again very disappointing read more

Server dropped a bowl at the next table, and shards and some white stuff hit my leg. The half-off wine specials were very over priced, even after the half off. East coast oysters were very small, we we not offered crackers or horseradish, and more than half had shell bits in the oysters. I eat oysters a lot, and I found that to be quite unusual. Chicken sliders were OK - a little overcooked, truffle fries were bland, gazpacho was strange and tasted funny, but the empanadas were delicious. The fried shrimp was overcooked Drinks were good. read more

My friends and I saw an advertisement about their Friday paella special, so to celebrate my birthday, they treated me here. The ambiance and atmosphere was very high-scaled. Great concept. Our waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of each dish. We order drinks and appetizers, they were good and served in very cute containers. Service was a bit slow... our drinks and appetizers were served very close to the main dish: PAELLA. About the paella, it was ok. It wasn't authentic, but just ok. (We had better). As I mentioned, we went to celebrate my birthday and very often other restaurants, comparable to the high standards of this one, would provide a complementary dessert ( a minimized version of the menu one); what they gave me was, was.... How can I put it, unacceptable, an insult? I think they shouldn't have bothered. Is was a plate, yes just a plate with a happy birthday message ( i think with chocolate frosting) and half a strawberry with a candle on it. See images. Not sure if I will go back. Btw, heads up: valet parking only. read more

We first tried this restaurant years ago during Houston Restaurant Week, and it quickly became one of our go-to brunch apots. Before we moved away, we would visit a few times a year, especially for their soufflés. Now that we're back in town, it felt natural to return. My professor and his wife are also fans, so we decided to meet here for brunch and to celebrate my husband's birthday! They currently offer a fairly affordable brunch menu: French Frugal Feast.We ordered the pork carnitas dish, which was unfortunately very dry and lacked flavor. The only standout on my plate was the potatoes. The ceviche was just okay. We ended the meal with a soufflé, while my professor opted for a cheesecake. Service, however, was excellent. Our server was very attentive, refilling water, tea, and Diet Coke every 10 minutes or so. That said, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday around noon. I remember it being packed during weekend brunch in the past. Of course, a lot has changed since the pandemic, and the cold, rainy weather that day may have played a role. Overall, while the service and ambience remain good, the food quality--unfortunately have declined significantly compared to our previous visits. Free parking is a plus. read more

The restaurant is lovely, inside is beautiful, outdoor seating on the patio was perfect for the weather yesterday, the staff was great. Server was great as well. Not sure if I expected too much or if my expectations were off . So keep that in mind. The food was not by any means bad but it was not exceptional. The escargot was beautiful and delicious, empanadas were great, we had the $39 special 2 items ; app and entree or entree and dessert Duck Steak Creme brûlée read more

The food, waitstaff and service were all excellent. The reason for 3 rating was the area everyone was seated was hot. It was brought to the staff's attention by several people but it remained hot. The other side of the restaurant past the bar area was cool. Also, flies are disgusting and unsanitary and the restaurant had just opened. Took away from the ambiance. read more

My friends and I visited Maison Pucha Bistro for Houston Restaurant Week, and while we had high hopes, the experience turned out to be hit-or-miss. We started with the Cucumber & Watermelon Gazpacho, Shrimp Ceviche, and Wagyu Beef Empanadas--and this was by far the best part of the meal. The gazpacho and ceviche were refreshing, well-balanced, and flavorful. The beef empanadas were rich, savory, and packed with flavor. We were genuinely excited for what was to come. Unfortunately, the main courses didn't live up to the appetizers. -Eggs Benedict: A classic dish done... a bit too plainly. It wasn't bad, but the "seasonal vegetables" on the plate felt like an afterthought--more garnish than actual side. -Trout Almondine: The fish itself lacked seasoning and felt underwhelming overall. -Chicken & Waffle: One of the most disappointing dishes. The waffle was forgettable and the chicken was dry, with a presentation that felt flat. -Duck Confit à L'Orange: This had potential, but sadly the duck leg was overcooked and ended up dry. As for the dessert we tried the Crêpe à L'Orange, Chocolate Moelleux, and Vanilla Crème Caramel. The desserts were passable, but not memorable. The Chocolate Moelleux, which we expected to be a lava cake, had no molten center--which was a letdown. The service was generally good, but the host stand was disorganized. Even though we had a reservation and arrived early, we weren't seated until five minutes after our reserved time with no communication as to why we weren't being seated. The ambiance had a charming French bistro vibe, we even noticed French music playing outside. Inside, the music was likely the same, but difficult to hear over the general noise--not overwhelming, but enough to lose the mood. Lastly, 2 out of 3 bathroom stalls were out of order, which felt like a detail that shouldn't be overlooked in a nice restaurant. Overall, this place has potential, especially based on the appetizers--but the entrées and desserts need refinement to match the ambiance and concept. I'd consider returning if the menu is reworked, but for now, it feels more style than substance. read more

Deviled eggs were served with small chunks of crispy bread with smudges of mustard and balsamic vinegar. The bread itself was topped with some cream cheese and capers, and I really liked dipping one chunk of bread in the mustard, then dipping another chunk in balsamic, etc. The steak frites (the steak was a bit unsalted, but I asked for a salt shaker to remedy this) was served with some buttery sauce and ketchup. The fries are just the right amount of crispy, and the steak is juicy. And I was able to get both the appetizer and the entree for $29. Considering that the steak frites by itself was listed as $36, this is an amazing deal. This is a great place to stop especially during a weekday afternoon. At the time I was seated, I was literally the only customer in the building. You probably don't need to reserve at this time, but weekends may be a different story. read more

Great flavors! I came here to try the HRW lunch with my friends on a weekday. Parking: Some other reviews mentioned valet parking, but no one else was out front to help us park. The lot in the back was full and we spent a lot of time trying to park, but eventually found some street parking a few blocks away. I do think the streets near the restaurant also allow parking during the daytime which we didn't realize. Service: The wait for our order to be taken and dishes to come out took a long time but otherwise no complaints. Ambiance: A bit too loud for my liking and everyone was clustered in one area. Food (HRW $25 lunch): - shrimp ceviche appetizer - delicious, nothing too unique, I wish bigger portion (2.5 shrimps, only 3 plantain chips) - duck confit a l'orange entree - duck was tender and skin perfectly crispy, good size of leg, the sauce was perfectly sweet and savory - Trout almondine entree - decent size, enjoyed the refreshing flavors, firm meat - steak frites (+18) - this was not worth it, tiny portion, the outer part of the steak too well done, and I'm not a fan of precut steak because it cools too fast - lemon pie - best dessert we had, lightweight and not too sweet - chocolate lava cake - very very decadent, only for dark chocolate lovers - vanilla flan - had a lovely citrus flavor (not described in the menu) read more

We came here a year ago for Restaurant Week and it was so good that we decided to come back this year. It did not disappoint! We have a group of eight people, and they sat in the beautiful private dining room, which was a nice surprise! I ordered their shrimp ceviche, classic eggs Benedict and crepes a l'orange. Everything was perfect! They have some really great mimosa options so I chose the Guava Mimosa which I had not seen anywhere else. Our server was fantastic, he checked in on us multiple times without being pushy and had a great attitude! It is important to note that it you have a group larger than 5 people, they will not split the bill but this is clearly listed on their menu. Needless to say, I will be back! read more

We dropped in for dinner on Wednesday. I was craving French food and had been wanting to give it a try. We arrived at 7:30 PM and was seated after a few minutes of waiting, without reservations. I love the decor, warm earth tones with crystal chandeliers throughout. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Houston Restaurant Week menu priced at $39 so decided to order from that set. We ordered: * cocktail oysters - very heavily dressed with shrimp and octopus, almost thought they forgot to include the oyster until I got to the bottom of the shell. Felt this combination of dressing and oyster didn't go well together. I would have liked it separately, like as a ceviche and oysters on a half shell. * escargots - well presented, very good. The bread was too chewy, didn't go well with this dish. * steak frites - tastes great with the bearnaise sauce. Steak was smaller than preference but cooked to the right temperature at medium rare. Love the French fries, crispy. * short ribs - very tender and so delicious with the wine demi-glace. All the accompaniments were paired well. * chocolate molleaux - didn't know what to expect and happy it was like a lava cake. Served warm and not too sweet, one of my favorite desserts that I've had lately. * vanilla crème caramel - tastes less sweet than most flan I have had but still very good. The bar is pretty small, not sure I would attempt to come here for happy hour since it's only accommodated at the bar. Valet is $8 and the area lacks parking otherwise. So unless you take a rideshare, your only option is to valet as I could not spot any other free self-parking lot. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other food from the menu. read more

Maison Pucha Bistro - Dining room - French Near Me - Houston, Texas

Another challenging review. Most of the food was good, but the service and penny pinching were not. Went with a friend for Houston Restaurants Week 2024 on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. Made a reservation, but that was not really necessary. The restaurant was empty. Just a couple of groups besides ours. We started with the baked mushroom timbale. Thought that it would be warm as it was baked, but it was cold. Quite cold. Like maybe it had been sitting around for a while. Took a few bites and that was it. We both left most of it on our plate. Our waiter asked if we liked it, but then he didn't even ask for our full response. He did bring us what we thought was a complimentary basket of bread. It was not. For the main course, the trout almondine was a classic French dish that was executed well. Half of an Idaho trout with seasonal vegetables and a caper almond lemon butter sauce. Delicious. My friend asked for hot sauce which was brought to the table after we finished this course. For dessert, the crepes a l'orange were very good. My friend got the soufflé which, you guessed it, had an upcharge of $9. The perfect finish to a very odd meal. Should have read the reviews and would have been less surprised at the lack of service and the unexpected upcharges. Had to keep asking for water. Was charged for the bread, extra for the dessert (which was on the menu) but was also charged extra for a small amount of hot sauce that came after we basically finished our meal. Did the waiter think that we wanted hot sauce with our soufflé?? A few hours later, my stomach was quite upset. I think that it was the mushroom timbale that we had tried express to the waiter seemed to be a bit off that day. And even odder, he followed us to our parked car to ask us more questions after we left the restaurant. Where was he during the meal? Since I wanted to respond to his questions, I did call back and spoke to a hostess a few days later to voice my concerns. Left a message with hostess. The manager never called me back. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful. Parking is available behind the restaurant, but was not clearly marked. The music did not match the ambiance of a French restaurant, but definitely fit the vibe of an unusual afternoon for lunch. read more

Went to Maison Pucha Bistro on a Saturday as we wanted raw oysters at a good price. Problem occurred as they had no gulf coast oysters so we got 2 dozen of the oysters in stock which they were fine but they are smaller. We sat in the bar area so that we could get HH prices. Our waiter was a bit pushy and was trying hard to get us to up purchase items. Overall it's a nice place to go get a few drinks and some oysters. Not thrilled with other items on HH menu. read more

So I came in Valentine's Day so my assessment may not be the most accurate. But I had a really great time with food that was very good. Crab fingers was my favorite with a beurreblanc type sauce that absolutely was impressive. So creamy and yet light. Flavorful and elegant. Escargot was light and buttery. Hint of garlic and herbs enough to make you go for another. No lingering snail flavor . Great job. Steak and frites and bouillabaisse was great. Steak was soft and cooked perfectly. Fries weren't the meatiest fries but crunchy. Bouillabase was light and refreshing with loads of seafoood. I loved the sear on the scallops, shrimp, etc. it was definitely needed with a light based soup. Great dinner. Great service. read more

We adored our HRW brunch here. We stopped by in August to make avail of their delicious brunch menu while also supporting the Houston Food Bank! Our waiter was kind and attentive, and explained some of his favorites on the menu. We ordered similarly and were glad we did! We decided on the shrimp ceviche and beef empanadas (which cost extra) to start off. The ceviche was light, tangy and tasty! I enjoyed the pairing with the plantain chips. The beef empanadas were one of the highlights of our morning. The flakiness of the crust was perfect, and the meat inside was so well seasoned! Next, we opted for the croque madame and chicken & waffle. The croque madame was also a winner - the egg pairing with the sandwich was so delicious, and the textures were amazing! We also enjoyed the side salad. I had ordered the chicken & waffle to get something on the sweet side and was not as enthused by this one. It was a bit bland in presentation, especially compared to the croque madame. I only wish they could have had a few more sweet offerings for entrees as part of the HRW menu. Our desserts were lovely - we both opted for the chocolate moelleux as we could not bear sharing! It's a good thing we did that, as they were so rich and chocolatey that we promptly polished them off. I loved how beautiful the restaurant was, with such pleasant ambient lighting. It is certainly popular - we were glad we made a reservation as it filled up quickly. Our server was also wonderful. I would love to come back and try their dinner menu! read more

Cozy ambiance and decent service, but the food (HRW menu) and drinks were disappointing. Management - 1* Poorly run. The host stand was barely staffed, with the host running around cleaning and rearranging tables while guests waited in line. Bar - 0* No bartender in sight - just staff drying glasses. When the bartender finally showed up, they had little to say about the drinks and didn't even offer water, which should be basic. The drink Over the Moon looked nice, but honestly, you'd be better off with a Fanta over ice. Food (HRW menu): * Burrata Salad - 2*: Nice texture, but it needed more citrus and sweetness to balance the flavors. * Blackened Salmon - 2*: Just average, nothing memorable. * Crepe - negative: Awful. Overloaded with sugar and no real flavor. * Lemon Pie: As Stewie would say, might as well just eat the "Cool Whip." read more

I am so grateful for a great introduction to Maison Pucha through HRW! The menu is so well balanced and diverse. My friend and I tried the lunch offerings and they were just exquisite. The Hummus and Olive appetizer was perfect portioned, though I was sorry to have missed out on the Watermelon gazpacho.... the shrimp ceviche was equally as tasty. The chicken fricasse was just good, but the trout almondine was my favorite. So flavorful and I enjoy a good caper and lemon sauce. I had the savory Figs and cheese dessert and my friend the Crepes a l' orange. They have a selection of Agua frescas as well refreshing but kinda small serving. Service was fabulous. The gentleman helping us made sure our dishes came out in a perfectly timed manner. The restaurant decor gave a hint of modernized old school French restaurant. So calm and very conversation inviting. read more

We went here for Houston Restaraunt Week, and I can only attest to 4 items on the menu, but this place was pretty good. Its huge on the inside (vs how it appears on the outside) and since it was Friday night, it was pretty noisy. Nothing too bad, but beware if you are sensitive to it. The food was good, but some of the pairings left me somewhat confused or wanting a slight variation. Food: The items I had: 1. Oysters This was a specialty item with chunks of vegetables and seafood in the oyster. They were pretty large and did not come with a fork, so I had to separate them myself. It was a very good flavor in the bite, but it was a two phase chew from the briney oyster and the chunky vegetables. Good, but more of a seafood app vs. oysters. 2. Duck Confit This was incredible, the skin was so crispy and thin, unlike a peking style duck where you can taste the fat. The meat on the inside was perfectly cooked and it shredded with a fork. There is some cheesey potatoes and green beans as well that are drenched in butter. For all the work they put in to make the duck so light, I was somewhat thrown off that the sides were just butter vehicles. 3. Short Rib I was allowed to try a couple bites of this, and it is essentially a beef stew that has been deconstructed. The potatoes and sauce were very rustic, and the short rib had mostly beef flavor (vs. fat from many cuts). The carrots could have been cooked more. 4. Chocolate Dessert This was a very standard chocolate cake, the sauce was like a flourless chocolate cake sauce. I could skip it for some ice cream or a cookie at home, honestly. Service: We did have a pretty long wait between dishes, but I attribute that to it being HRW and a Friday night. We did not get drinks, but I think if we had, it would have passed the time more as we would have been preoccupied. That said, for only 3 courses, we were here for 90 minutes, which felt just on the longer side. Ambiance: There are lots of showcases of wine in the back area and a large interior dining room. The lights are quite bright and feel almost jarring once the sun goes down, which made it feel even more loud with the rebounding noise from inside the room. I didn't mind a ton, but it was very noticeable once we left and the lighting+sound changed. read more

Friends enjoyed a lovely birthday lunch at Maison Pucha recently. I've dined here several times, mostly at lunch, and it's always excellent. This time our small group ate outside with such fine weather. We enjoyed the 2 course lunch; some opted for starter and main, others had the main, followed by dessert. Everything is presented beautifully! The mussels I had were very good and I loved the toast to soak up that decadent broth! For my main, I had a yummy mushroom risotto. Because it was so rich, I took half home. Since it was my special day, they also brought me a sweet dessert plate of small fruit and a little madeliene cookie. I also had the small cheese, fig and sweet cracker dessert (shared with a friend). That too was excellent, and thankfully, light. Looking forward to our next meal here. A shout out to our main server, Israel; he's always so caring! read more

Came in for restaurant week on Saturday with a reservation, was seated immediately Recommended Dress code: business casual Food 4/5: we ordered the salmon gravlax and the shrimp ceviche for apps, duck pithivier and Ecuadorian stew for mains and the soufflé and mousse for dessert. We also got their caipirinha and gin & tonic. Shrimp ceviche had a kick which I loved but my partner felt was too hot. The duck had very little foie gras but was tasty. The stew was too salty for me and I have a fairly heavy palate. Desserts and drinks were amazing. Saw the table over get the cosmo with the smoke bubble which was a nice touch. Service 4.5/5: forgot one of our orders but comped it so no issues there. Generally good service, friendly but slow at times although was quite busy. Forgot to get us knives which made the duck pastry difficult to eat. Ambiance 4/5: generally quite beautiful but very tightly packed. Hard to have coversations without neighbors basically being in them Value 4.5/5: pretty good value for restaurant week at 39$ per person and portion sizes were decent Overall 4.4/5: generally a good experience for restaurant week. Would come back. Parking: valet parking for 8$ read more

Guys. I just had the loveliest date night here! That's because my husband is an absolute delight, though - and only because of that. Well and the wine. Which, even that couldn't numb the pain of how bad this food was. Brace yourselves. We ordered wagyu empanadas (at a French restaurant!??!). They were delish. Perhaps they should stick with their strengths. Dug excitedly into boiling French onion soup. Only for it to taste burned. And I'm not talking just the cheese on top. Literally the only flavor in the broth was burn taste. Which in retrospect set us up well for our entrees... I had the filet mignon, rare. It came out a hammered well done. My hubby had the ($86!!!! That was a fun surprise in the check - they were on special) lamb chops. Half were cooked properly. Half were raw. Raw - not rare. The waiter (who was lovely by the way) took them back. He soon returned with overcooked lamb chops and a CHARRED filet. Like super burned on the outside and raw in the inside. Even the gelatinous sauce couldn't cover the char. For some reason - maybe because I was on my second glass of wine - we decided to give them a chance to redeem themselves and ordered a soufflé. I know, I know, we're nuts. That soufflé tasted exactly like...one of those microwave cakes you make in 60 seconds. It was served with (melted) ice cream that tasted...sour??? Allegedly it was French vanilla but I would never disgrace the French by calling it that. This place is beautiful. And...sadly that's about it! Hate to do it Yelpers, but $300 for charred meat and sour ice cream? I'm not the classiest of ladies, but I literally. Just. Can. Not. read more

Came in for Mother's Day meal; my mom has an affinity for French food. I think it's okay at best in general. For this price point, I have high expectations so I will judge harshly. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated. Parking is $8 valet. Some of the tables had tablecloths while others didn't which I found odd. There were some flies around us inside the restaurant. Onto the food: French onion soup - worst version I've ever had. La madeleines is genuinely better. It should have a strong beef broth taste which was not present at all. It tasted bland and strongly of uncooked wine. Steak frites - steak was cooked well but overall bland and overpriced. The fries are weird to me because usually they're thin crispy fries for this dish. They also weren't particularly hot. Coq au vin - My sister enjoyed the crispy leg. The rest of the chicken was tender but the sauce was too strong and reduced. Crab cake - generally liked, comes with 1 crab cake that has jalapeño in it. Gruyère bread rolls - half a dozen for $9, burnt and hollow with a slightly sweet taste Overall the food was lackluster, overpriced, and not worth it. We ordered a la carte but the preset menu was $125 per person! Ridiculous! If you want French food, I recommend Cafe Rabelais in rice village. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! Valet is required which my boyfriend hates so we ubered. You could park in the neighborhood and walk. We went with another foodie couple visiting us and we got a bunch of plates and split it. Houston Restaurant weeks were going on when we were there, but since we wanted to try so much we did not want to be limited by the HRW menu. The presentation of food was amazing, and certain dishes really stood out, the Brie, empanadas and oysters especially. I even had a bite of the steak tartare which is not something I would ever eat, and I did really enjoy it to by surprise. Our waiter was a little all over the place but it was a busy Friday night. We enjoyed some good cocktails and wine, and exploring the restaurant too as the decor was very interesting and fun. read more

I come to Maison Pucha almost every year we have lived in Houston for Houston Restaurant Weeks. I usually give it five stars because everything is so superb but this time it dropped half a star so I rounded down. The service was great and we made reservations on Open Table so we were good to go. I think it felt as though the portions were halved for HRW like the shrimp in the ceviche were sliced in half but we used to get the whole shrimp. The steak was also 6oz and I'm very sure it used to be larger. Overall the flavor and quality are still there but the portions are half the size and I get it because of food costs and it's HRW. The kid's meal was solid with tequenos and cornmeal crusted chicken strips. Our two year old ate it up. Dessert was very good also. read more
