A community-style French cuisine bistro is opening March 21 in Rice Village, according to a news release.
Eau Tour, French for "water journey," will take over the former Thai Spice restaurant space at 5117 Kelvin Drive, Houston. Owner Benjy Levit also operates the adjoining restaurant Local Foods, Local Foods Market and the speakeasy-style wine bar Lees Den.
“Our goal is to open an intimate space with a refined but not too serious dinner party atmosphere with food meant to be passed around accompanied with fun tunes. Eau Tour is a spot for the community to hang and enjoy happy habits,” Levit said in a statement.
The 2,000-square-foot concept, with bar and booth seating, will focus on bringing guests a relaxing atmosphere that serves chef-driven, shareable plates, that are meant to be shared with friends and family, according to the news release. Design inside Eau Tour boasts art deco with bright pops of color and vintage light fixtures.
