Brasserie Max & Julie is a perfect weekend brunch spot where diners satisfy their cravings for crepes and gaufres (thin, crispy waffles). There are sweet and savory examples of each, such as gaufres topped with creamy spinach, lardons, and a poached egg, or a crepe with local honey and lemon zest. At dinnertime, you can delve deeper into hardcore classics like steak tartare et frites (beef filet ground and served raw with fries) and boeuf Bourguignon (traditional Burgundy beef stew). It would be a shame to not order wine, as Brasserie Max & Julie sports one of the finest lists of French vin in Houston.
