HRW: Brasserie du Parc

Continual of my Restaurant Week recap.  Again, a lot of the restaurants have extended the Restaurant Week in order to help the Houston Food Bank after the hurricane impacted the city.  Please take a moment to check out the restaurants that are participating and go out and eat!

This time we went to Brasserie du Parc.
For the first course, I got the Oeufs Mimosa.  That's the fancy way of saying deviled eggs with a small salad.  The eggs didn't have paprika, in case you're wondering.  Instead, they have bacon bits, the real thing.  How can it be bad?
For main course, I got the Boeuf Bourgingnon.  It has a bed of pasta, with the stew on top.  It has a decent size brisket with veggie.  The brisket is super soft, you pull on it and it falls apart.  Super soft, super tender, super perfect for a cold winter day.
For dessert, I got the Pot au Chocolat, it came with a little mini muffin, pot au chocolat (chocolate custard) with a scoop of ice cream with these fancy crispers.  It went very well with a coffee, highly recommend it to any chocoholic.

I love the service, the staff, and the whole dining experience.  Was it the best I've ever had?  No, but for a sizable group like ours, they were super attentive, made sure everyone get what we ordered, checks were separated properly.  Those little things are very much appreciated for a dinning experience.

I will say this: if you made a reservation, prepare extra time to fight the downtown traffic or find parking on the street.  I chose to valet, which is not complementary, so bring cash.
