Michelin-starred Le Jardinier is a unique and refined restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli located in The Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Rooted in timeless French approach, Chef Verzeroli has created a menu where plants play a prominent role: seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, and greens are complemented by wild and sustainable fish with local Texas meats. All our breads are gluten-free and baked in house.

Le Jardinier's light-filled space will evoke a feeling of relaxed-luxury and incorporate custom art pieces with outdoor dining set within an Isamu Noguchi-designed sculpture garden. In 2024, Le Jardinier was awarded one Michelin Star at Texas' Inaugural Michelin Guide.

    We had our anniversary dinner here at Le Jardinier. The experience was very nice and relaxing after walking through the museum. Our server was Robin and she was amazing! She was very kind and added to the great atmosphere. We will be returning soon!

    The overall good rating is based on a comparison to numerous other one star Michelin restaurants. It was a pleasant meal, but unfortunately it did not come up to my expectations. The food presentation was nice and most everything was prepared properly. The service was rather spotty. Would prefer dark color napkins, so I would not have walked away with white lint on my black attire.
    Le Jardinier - HoustonResponded on February 10, 2025
    Dear Julius, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience overall!

As a token of our apology, I just reached out to you via email to make amends however please let me now if you did not receive it. We value your feedback and hope to regain your trust. Sincerely, Thurston Woods General Manager of Le Jardinier-MFAH
