Drexel House is a welcomed addition to the Houston food scene. Since discovering it, everyone that visits me in Houston gets treated to what has become my favorite cafe and restaurant. The lunch menu offers a delicious range of Italian inspired fare “from unique panini’s and sandwiches to kraft nepolitana pizzas. The dinner menu provides a contrast to their daytime menu, from braised lamb shanks, to charred octopus, to a mole accented filet”. Drexel recently added a brunch menu for the weekend and other than the mimosas, their “three little pigs” breakfast sandwich has become a favorite.
Decor wise I love the neutral white, beige and light grey tones. The entirety of the dining area is surrounded by windows allowing a great light to flow in and the feel that you are dining outside on the patio while still enjoying the cool AC inside [when summer hits Houston, thats a big plus]. One wall is is a giant chalkboard displaying the entire menu and the marble counter bar is perfect for grabbing one of their delicious Illy coffees and almond croissant.
