Cafe Piquet Cuban Cuisine – Authentic Cuban Flavors in Bellaire, TX

Atmosphere: From the outside, it stands out from other establishments in the area due the greenery and architecture of the building. Making your way to the entrance of the building there is a covered patio that has seating for those wanting to eat outdoors. The decor was really neat to see and blends with the architecture outside. Service: Upon entry we were seated quickly. The server was helpful in providing recommendations as well providing insight for our food selection. The fact we were assisted by multiple servers was a plus because they were always on top of everything. Quality: All of the food we had was so flavorful but unique in their own way. To start off, we had the Beef Empanadas. The amount of crispiness was just right and packed so much flavor. They had two sauces that were to compliment the dish, one tasted like a cilantro based sauce and the other a habanero style. For the main entree, I ordered the Media Noche with the seasoned fries. The sandwich was a great portion and amount of mustard did not over whelm the sandwich, yet complimented it. The fries were seasoned and crisped to perfection. The Ropa Vieja was by far the star of the show. So much flavor in beef and it didnt stop there, the sauce was the perfect pairing for the residual rice. Fili's Fave: Although I did not order the Ropa Vieja, after sampling a portion of it, I knew I found my favorite entree on the menu....so far.

A coworker suggested this place and since then, I’ve returned like 4-times. Always do eager to eat my food, I forget to take pics. Everything I’ve had has been authentic and outstanding-staff treats you very well (like family). Highly recommend!!

Even though I have lived within a mile of this place for over a decade today was my first time visiting. It did not disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing. Our server Richard was too notch and everything was perfect. It was priced very well with my Family of five eating for about $80 including an appetizer. It will definitely become one of my regular spots.

The best Cuban restaurant in Houston. As Miami natives who love Cuban food we have pretty high standards for what it’s supposed to taste like. But this place always delivers. We’ve been coming here for years and absolutely love it. And the service is the best — they always make us feel like home. Highly recommend the Cuban, the tops vieja, and the pan con bistec. Oh and don’t sleep on the croquetas. Super authentic!

This is a cool Cuban spot, there food was delicious and the staff were very friendly!!! Me and my husband had the fried whole red fish and the margaritas and the coconut mojito were delicious!!!! Felt like we were back in Miami! Patrons for Life!

Had a great dinner here tonight! The building is very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere and music are good with lots of interesting decor. Service was fast and accurate with orders, drink refills, etc. Our server was fast and attentive, but not necessarily friendly nor talkative, but that's fine as she was great in all the other areas. The food was good. I had wanted two steak dishes that they were apparently out of. Instead I ordered basically the same dish but with chicken. It was cooked well and delicious, but the steak option was what my heart was set on, so it was a little disappointing. Overall good experience and would recommend!

My wife and I used to live near here and would eat here at least once or twice a month, but it's been years since I've been in the area. We really enjoyed the food. I always ordered the ropa vieja, and it was always outstanding. I happened to be back in the area today and decided to give it a try again. The ropa vieja is just as good as I remembered. Truly excellent Cuban cuisine.
