The Champagne experience was very enjoyable. The food was delicious and in very generous portions. The Champagne tastings were small portions and not so generous but still very interesting. The pairings of the Champagne to the food was very good and each mouthful of food bought out more sparkle in each sip of Champagne. Service could have been better. We were missed out and had to chase for bread, and for two entrees, aswell as the first serving of Champagne, it may have been the location of the table, although disappointing, it did not distract from a wonderful evening by Christophe Paul and his team.

We did high tea and had a wonderful time. The service was a little slow the day we were there but the manager offered us an extra glass of champagne and comp’d s few of the teas. The place is beautiful and the high tea and sandwiches and sweets were excellent. Would definitely return.

Musaafer has earned its Michelin star! My wife and I went two weeks before they received their star. We loved everything from the cocktails to the appetizers, especially the entrees. I took five men with me last night, and they were blown away.

Beef is flank steak but prepared Parisian style unlike anywhere else in TX. Sole for 2 is the main of choice. Butterfly desert not to be missed, take photo of it. Order wine by the bottle, by glass is 4oz paring pour instead of typical 6. Well worth the wait for a reservation. Ignore sticker shock when the tab comes. A dining experience not to be missed. Don’t have to travel to France.
