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"
Carol Barrington for Texas Highways
"Chowing Down Near Houston - Forks in the Backroads"
"located in an old general store with antique oak
tables, the restaurant is a cozy setting for a chic
country menu worthy of Provence"

"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"

"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"
