The highly anticipated Autry Park restaurant experience has begun, promising an unparalleled culinary journey. Annabelle Brasserie opened its doors October 18, the first of several atmospheric restaurants located in Autry Park, which is set to become the most sought-after dining and shopping destination in the city.

Brought to life by the esteemed Berg Hospitality Group, Annabelle Brasserie promises French sophistication with a hint of “y’all.” Overlooking the lush Buffalo Bayou, diners can enjoy a delectable breakfast, lunch or dinner in a lively atmosphere reminiscent of a Parisian café.

Next to open will be Auden, a new concept from chefs Kirthan and Kripa Shenoy that will focus on the seasonality and sustainability of ingredients. Plus, Auden will have a thoughtful and carefully crafted wine and cocktail program that is not to be missed. Auden opens Friday, October 27.

From the beginning, Autry Park developers had a vision to showcase the rich tapestry of Houston’s culinary creativity. All but one of the restaurants are home-grown Houston concepts of Texas-based operators and chefs. The exception is Lick Honest Ice Creams, an Austin-based purveyor.

Autry Park beckons food aficionados and adventurers alike to experiment with an eclectic array of dining experiences, with more restaurants opening through the end of 2023 and into 2024. The aim is to embrace Houston’s diverse culture through a meticulously hand-picked selection of restaurants.
