Houston Chronicle Features Aaron Bludorn’s New Bistro at Hotel Saint Augustine

In a detailed feature by the Houston Chronicle, renowned chef Aaron Bludorn unveils his latest venture: Perseid, a French-meets-Gulf Coast bistro nestled inside the new Hotel Saint Augustine in Montrose. Known for redefining fine dining in Houston, Bludorn returns to his classical roots—this time with a fresh lens shaped by the city’s diverse culinary culture and Southern sensibility.
The Chronicle explores how Perseid, Bludorn Hospitality’s fourth concept, blends French technique with Texas Gulf Coast ingredients—offering dishes like duck and foie gras terrine, crawfish sausage, and a blackened grouper that speaks directly to Houston’s palate. With Michael Le as executive chef and Cherif Mbodji directing operations, Perseid also showcases Vietnamese influences, modern interiors, and deep ties to the city’s art and architecture.
