PaperCity Reviews Perseid: Bludorn’s French-Gulf Bistro Impresses at Hotel Saint Augustine
In a glowing first look from PaperCity Magazine, Houston’s Hotel Saint Augustine and its in-house restaurant Perseid are hailed as stunning new additions to Montrose’s cultural and culinary landscape. With interiors that nod to the Menil Collection and a menu that blends French bistro tradition with bold Gulf Coast flavor, chef Aaron Bludorn and Cherif Mbodji have created a destination that delivers on every detail—from design to dessert.
The article highlights standout dishes like the smoked salmon dip with house-made chips, escargot en vol au vent, and duck frites with a chili mango glaze—alongside Perseid’s acclaimed pastry program led by Marie Riddle, whose chocolate entremet and raspberry-pistachio éclair have already gained buzz. The wine list favors boutique French producers, and cocktails nod to Houston legends, including one named after architect Howard Barnstone.
Describing the ambiance as “soigné” and the food as “a French bistro seen through the eyes of Houston,” the review makes it clear: Perseid isn’t just another hotel restaurant—it’s a defining moment in Houston’s culinary evolution.
