Restaurant  Reviews
"located in an old general store with antique oak
tables, the restaurant is a cozy setting for a chic
country menu worthy of Provence"
Houston Sidewalk - Sunday Drive


"for the culinary surprise of your life . . . you
should visit the small town of Burton any
week-end and enjoy a meal at the Brazos Belle.
The promised surprise is a quaint French
Country bistro in a little Texas town . . .
both authentic to the hilt"
Linda Gillian Griffin
Houston Chronicle

This innovative restaurant (since 1993) is
housed in the old Steiner-Dallmeyer General
Store; a place where you could buy a spool of
thread or a three horse middle-buster, or most
anything in between!  A careful renovation of
this wonderful National Historic Register
Building (1875) has proven to be the perfect
setting for the Brazos Belle.


"owned by noted chef Andre' Delacroix, the
unpretentious Belle holds it's own with any
fine-dining spot in the state"

Bienvenue  .  .  .  .
Welcome to the Brazos Belle!

"Picturesque La Bahia Road, also known
as Highway 390, is practically paved with
Texas history.  Stephen F. Austin led his
original colonists over it in the early 19th
Century, and Sam Houston rode its
rolling curves when he took command of
his army of Texians in 1836.
So, it is fitting that Houstonians often
drive the old La Bahia Road.  Today it
links the small farming communities of
Washington, Independence, Gay Hill and
Burton to the county seat of Brenham.  
The road is often awash in wildflowers
and antique shops brimming with vintage
goods.  The Brazos Belle is located on
the Bahia Road, at the point where it
travels through Burton"
