La Balance Cuisine is located on Westheimer Pkwy and S. Fry Road in Katy, Texas. I was very pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful French restaurant in Katy. La Balance Cuisine is offering locals a contemporary twist on classic French favorites and that puts a smile on my face!Owner Manuel Atencos knowledge of fine dining derives from his 25 years of experience in the food and wine industry. He has been working in the business at locations that span from across the United States to his hometown of Puebla, Mexico. With the assistance of a master sommelier, La Balance offers a plethora of quality wines originating from California and France.I am always looking for unique and cool restaurants to visit over the holidays. As you walk through the doors of La Balance, you see a very elegant and open restaurant. Every glass is in its place and the lighting was just perfect. I cant wait for my French experience to begin!We started things off with Le Bloc du Boucher, the Chefs selection of meats and pickled vegetables. The variety of items in this dish allowed us try different flavors while we enjoyed a great conversation and checked out the menu a bit. This appetizer is a must and it paired well with a Ros. I highly recommend you start your evening out with this.You cant ever visit a French restaurant without enjoying the Foie Gras. Here at La Balance Cuisine, it is just as delightful as it looks. The Foie Gras Pol is a serving of mouth-watering liver pat topped with a delectable mix of orange marmalade and chocolate served alongside a light, sweet brioche. The marmalade and chocalate combination was very tasty and the texture and thickness of the Foie Gras were just right. The crunch of the brioche just knocked me out. I have to admit the Foie Gras here sits in my top 5.And now for the main attraction. We ordered the Salmon, Boeuf Bourguignon, Duck Breast and of course the fabulous Filet Mignon.The Saumon was a perfectly-grilled portion of salmon served with asparagus and topped with a tantalizing mushroom cream. It was paired with a Patient Cottat Sancerre Anciennes Vignes 2015. This medium-bodied French wine had a beautiful golden-green reflection and went just swimmingly with the salmon.The salmon was perched beautifully atop the asparagus and carrots. I was a bit hesitant to take my first bite and destroy this wonderful piece of art. But I did. Ha! And what a bite it was! So much flavor and the mushroom cream sauce was simply incredible! It was one of my two favorite dishes of the night.The Filet Mignon was served up with mashed potatoes, asparagus, Green Peppercorn Sauce and paired with an amazing Chteau Larose Trintaudon 2009. Every bite of this perfectly-cooked steak was better than the last! The Green Peppercorn Sauce along with the full-bodied wine made for a powerful statement SOMETHING SPECIAL! As you might have guessed, it was my other favorite dish of the night.If you have been following me for any length of time, I am sure you are aware of my dessert fetish. Should I be ashamed? I think not! So, at La Balance Cuisine I decided on a little mnage trois. Ha!The very sexy Creme Brule was first up and ooh la la! The raspberry gel and meringues added a very nice touch. What a sweet, sweet dessert!The Tarte Tatin was strategically hand crafted with Crme fraiche and Caramel Sauce. This fluffy pastry was just perfect. The apples tasted of caramelized butter. Does it get any better?My favorite dessert of the night was the sensual Souffl au Chocolat. Not only was this decedent dessert delightful, but the presentation was designed to entertain the whole dining room. Take a look at the photography and youll see exactly what I mean. The Hazelnut Sauce was slowly poured into the opened souffl. I can just taste it now. Amazing.All three of our desserts were paired with Dows 10-Year-Old Tawny Port. Dows has been a favorite of mine for years and I highly recommend you enjoy it with your dessert. This Port has amazing fruit flavors embodied in deep smokey notes which play in perfect harmony as you savor your fabulous French experience.La Balance Cuisine hosts monthly fine dining events such as wine dinners and special holiday occasions including New Years, Valentines Day, Mothers Day and many others!Its no surprise why La Balance Cuisine was voted the Best French Restaurant in Katy in 2015 and 2016. This is one of the best French restaurants I have tried in Houston, never mind Katy! I cant emphasize it enough. If you live in the area, be sure to give it a try. You wont ever leave the neighborhood again.
Valentine’s evening and a special menu was my first visit. Lobster bisque was low on lobster and high on shell fragments. Remaining food was excellent – especially the filet and duck. No complaints about service but on Valentines day, I put a premium on not being rushed.
Plan to get there soon and support this restaurant.. There are few places like La Balance in the western suburbs and we should support them. This is a wonderful restaurant. Classy, elegant without being fussy. The service is professional yet friendly. The food is, in a word, excellent. The menu has enough choices and variety for a wide variety of appetites. You could make a dinner out of one of the starters and salads or satisfy a hearty appetite with well executed steak frites. Again a lovely restaurant of the kind we need.
Our experience at Le Balance was wonderful. Both the food and service were beyond what we expected. The trout was the best I have ever had and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the filet. We highly recommend this restaurant.
This place is wonderful! Great escargot, foie gras, and filet! We drive all the way from 290 and Hollister to come eat here! Best French restaurant in Houston
Absolutely amazing! Very authentic and great vibe.
