CultureMap Spotlights Perseid: Bludorn’s French-Gulf Bistro Anchors Hotel Saint Augustine
In its latest feature, CultureMap profiles the launch of Perseid, a neighborhood bistro by chef Aaron Bludorn and Cherif Mbodji, now open inside Montrose’s boutique Hotel Saint Augustine. Blending French culinary tradition with bold Gulf Coast flavors, Perseid represents a new era of hotel dining in Houston—approachable, chef-driven, and distinctly local.
CultureMap outlines how Perseid stands apart by offering all-day service, refined breakfast options, and a menu deeply inspired by both Houston’s global influences and the legacy of the de Menil family, whose French roots and love for art helped shape the neighborhood. Signature dishes like duck and foie gras terrine, escargot, and crawfish sausage offer a creative nod to the overlap between French and Southern cuisine.
The article also highlights Bludorn’s rare decision to partner with Bunkhouse Hotels, emphasizing the alignment of values and the opportunity to create a truly Houston-centric dining experience. From early morning pastries and pancakes to evening cocktails in the Augustine Lounge, Perseid is designed to serve locals as much as guests—an ambitious vision for hotel hospitality in a city that rarely embraces it.
