Here, Nomad serves up the Texas craft BBQ you know and love but with a distinct Houston edge. In May 2022, the restaurant’s owner, Houston pitmaster James McFarland (formerly of Reveille Barbecue Co.) settled down at Cypress’s Misfit Outpost, a five-acre property complete with a taproom, outdoor seating, and a playground. Nomad Barbecue started out as a pop-up concept, serving up smoke-and-fire creations across the Lone Star State and beyond. Those who prefer Tex-Mex can indulge in guacamole, nachos, or Flora’s parrillada (a fajita-style mixed grill).

Dishes like the ceviche negro or tuna tostada take cues from Baja, while heartier dishes like the beef short rib in red mole or the pescado a la talla draw inspiration from Oaxaca and the Yucatán.

Flora’s contemporary Mexican menu blends a variety of regional cuisines. By night, glimmering crystal chandeliers imbue the space with a dreamy ambience befitting a fairy tale. By day, floor-to-ceiling windows serve as a canvas for the natural landscape of Buffalo Bayou Park. Whether you’re in the mood for some life-changing West African fare by way of a highly Instagrammable food hall or some classic Italian comfort food so good it will have you calling up your Nonna, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for- and more -on this list.īuffalo Bayou Park / Cypress / Downtown / East End / Fourth Ward / Galleria/Uptown / Heights / Independence Heights / Midtown / Montrose / Multiple Locations / Museum District / Rice Village / River Oaks / Sixth Ward / Upper Kirby / Warehouse Districtįlora, the latest incarnation of the former The Kitchen at the Dunlavy, is a scene stealer.
