Bistro 555 is under new ownership by a group of long-time friends including the owners of former Le Mistral and Cafe Rabelais, established French institutions in Houston. With a joint-experience of over 5 decades, Bistro 555 will transport you to the different regions of France with traditional bistro fares. Our specialties include Escargot in sizzling garlic butter, onion soup topped with melted gruyere cheese, Moules-Frites, Cassoulet, and profiteroles. We also serve wood-oven fired pizzas. Bon appetit!

Made reservation specifically asking for a table by the window. Unfortunately, we were delayed because of a wreck on the freeway, and I called to let them know that we were going to be late. When we arrive not only was our table taken, but the only table that was available was a table by the front door and every time the door opened a gust of wind would just come blowing to our table. Very uncomfortable I asked to be seated at an empty table close to us and she told me that table was taken! The part I ordered was an edible, and by the way, when we left, the table was never occupied! We go there quite often and one would think they would take care of their regular guest Better than that!

What we always ask each other is, Would you eat it again? And, Would you come back again? The answer to both Questions is a resounding Yes and absolutely Yes.
