Houston Chronicle Recommends Perseid for Houston Restaurant Weeks
In a curated guide to Houston Restaurant Weeks 2025, the Houston Chronicle food team spotlighted Perseid among their top dining recommendations for the charity event. Food critic Aviva Bechky praised the restaurant's offerings for capturing a "perfectly summery feel" through dishes like white gazpacho, smoked salmon dip, tomato risotto, and a trio of fruity sorbets.
The Chronicle article highlights how chef Aaron Bludorn—the talent behind Navy Blue and his namesake restaurants Bludorn and Bar Bludorn—opened the French bistro at Hotel Saint Augustine in January. Bechky notes that Perseid draws influence from both the Texas Gulf Coast and Bludorn's classic training, creating a unique dining experience in Montrose.
The recommendation emphasizes that Perseid's HRW menus, particularly the lunch offering, provide diners the chance to experience Bludorn's newest culinary ideas at a significant discount. Houston Restaurant Weeks runs from August 1 through September 1, offering multi-course meals at set price points while raising funds for the Houston Food Bank.
SULLTRAIN, as the communications partner for Hotel Saint Augustine and Perseid, is proud to see the restaurant earn a recommendation from the Houston Chronicle's food team among hundreds of participating establishments.
