cspwal Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Noticed this last night on the way home from the game. They have a contractor's sign in the side window, so it's not just the sidewalk - it's restaurant time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Couldn't find the tread where it was mentioned previously, so I started another one. It looks like they re putting in a patio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nole23 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Nice. I drive by it everyday and can tell they are working hard to get this up and running. Can't wait to see how vibrant this area will be once all of the restaurants at GRB and the Marriott Marquis are complete as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 New steel framing looks structural, but it is not (yet?) tied in to the tower itself. Definitely more than the patio I had assumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Wow! That looks big! I need to walk by this and try to understand what they are doing here. That is a bunch of steel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I walked by this the other day. Wow, that is a lot of steel! When this was announced, I assumed that the restaraunt would be inside the building with some kind of "covered patio" outside. It now looks like it will be a huge indoor space with maybe "sliding doors" that might open to the outside? wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nole23 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 CNN has an article and video about Brasserie du Parc and the exploding Houston restaurant scene. The nation is taking notice! "Do yourself a favor and, for a moment, put aside what you think you know about Houston. Despite what may come to mind -- cowboys, oil tycoons, urban sprawl -- Houston has emerged as a culinary powerhouse, attracting top kitchen talent from around the world. And with 140,000 out-of-towners expected for the Super Bowl in February, the city is ready to impress. Critics have already taken notice: The New York Times last year called Houston "one of the great eating capitals of America," The Washington Post listed the area as one of the nation's best food cities and the Bayou City recently welcomed Anthony Bourdain and his film crew for an episode of CNN's "Parts Unknown."" http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/17/foodanddrink/houston-restaurants-philippe-verpiand-brasserie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is furniture inside and the bar looks about finished. There is still much to do but I'll bet that they will be open in a couple of weeks.

Nole23 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 "That's because Brasserie du Parc – a new French bistro from the owners of Etoile Cuisine et Bar – is due to open in a tres chic outpost on the northern lip of Discovery Green at the base of One Park Place tower. Monday Jan. 30 is the day chef Philippe Verpiand and his wife and business partner, Monica Bui, plan to open their restaurant with its walk-up window for crepes called Creperie du Parc. And just in time to catch the hordes of out-of-towners expected to take in all the Super Bowl action at Discovery Green and George R. Brown Convention Center." http://www.chron.com/entertainment/restaurants-bars/article/First-look-Brasserie-du-Parc-10887314.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as Discovery Green removes its fences, the patio views will be top tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Tried it tonight, enjoyed the escargot and the mussels. Good sized crowd from all the people from the NAPE convention in town, all the restaurants around Disco Green were full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this a private park? I assume if it was public it would have been included with Discovery Green. Also, you can see the Medical Arts Building in one photo. What a loss.

I think it was a private park for Houston Center and then they sold the land to Finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yes, it was a little park. When they built Discovery Green and One Park Place, the park space "moved" a block east to cover up parking lots that used to be where Discovery Green is now. That's why the Shops at Houston Center used to be called the Park Shops because the balcony overlooked the park (now it overlooks Phoenicia).

This was before One Park Place. It was nice, but things IMO, are much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonecia alone was worth losing that park, having DG nearby would have made it a poor option anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
