A little slice of Paris just arrived in Downtown Houston. 🇫🇷✨

I stopped by the grand opening of Petite Lucie yesterday, and it was such a fun evening! The Bastille Day celebration brought together live entertainment, a ribbon cutting, and even a FIFA watch party in Market Square Park.

The celebration had a really fun, lively vibe; it felt like a little escape to a Parisian café right in the heart of downtown Houston.

Congratulations to the Petite Lucie team on a wonderful grand opening! Excited to come back and try more of the menu!

10/10 date night. Been a min since we’ve been back. Loved it then and still love it now. We ordered the masa cornbread à la carte from their tasting menu, and it’s still just as amazing as the first time we had it last year. Thank you to our server, Jenny, for taking great care of us and for the best service!

It’s #nationalhotdogday and my favorite hotdog in philly right now is at @dancerobot.phl 🌭
•
It’s simple, different, and somehow one of the most satisfying bites in the city. If you’re looking for a unique Philadelphia food spot put Dancerobot on your list.

Have you tried this dog yet?

The Slea Head Drive on the #Dingle peninsula has no shortage of breathtaking views, and finally it has a fittingly fantastic and frankly unmissable lunch stop in the form of @ealuatthestonehouse, led by couple @kallam_m_chef & @cliona.walker 💫

We write in our recent Sunday Times Ireland restaurant rveiew: “this is levelled up lunch, classic and traditional in certain ways, appropriately reflecting the historic stone building setting, but bold and challenging in others — lobster bisque, bouillabaisse and seafood chowder sit beside tonkatsu chicken, dahl makhani and Thai-style mussels.”

The desserts from the pastry section are particularly masterful and shine a light on the technical skill of the chocolatier background, particularly the impressively lifelike lemon, which we write “close your eyes and you could be in a two star restaurant in any European capital eating this. Open them, you’re in a stone house on the edge of the Atlantic, beside fairy forts and beehive huts, past free-roaming sheep, serving dishes that put most other visitor centres to shame”.

This week’s Sunday Times Ireland restaurant review is the hottest opening of 2026 up north: @regencyhouse_, the hyped homecoming of Chris McClurg and Alice Stewart that more than lives up to expectation 💫

McClurg’s short menu is like a love letter to local produce but isn’t afraid to emulsify with international inspiration and ingredients. His cooking is technical and detail-driven, but the menu is meant to be eaten conversationally with everything shared.

The pork rib is emotional eating, the signature potato cake lavished in caviar and the sticky toffee fattened fabulously with beef dripping. This is more is more dining; Belfast has been blessed.
