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.

    Great restaurant with wonderful aesthetics. The service was absolutely impeccable. Bread surface was good… The wheat roll was fantastic, but the other two were a little bit lacking with the breadsticks being a bit overdone and the other roll not being very flavorful at all. We had the soufflé as an appetizer and it was wonderful however, just a bit small to share even for two people. We had two pasta selections and they were absolutely fantastic. The coffee service and dessert were very good as we really enjoyed the citrus and the dessert. I still cannot say enough for the attention to detail in the plating and in the service. We were given excellent wine suggestions to go with our food and that was a huge benefit! We look forward to return returning.

    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!
