T'afia

3701 Travis
Houston, TX 77002

Here's a foodie paradise where every dish on the menu has an exotic name. Don't miss the outrageous cocktails like the namesake "ratafias," which are cordials made with white wine, vodka and fresh seasonal fruits. The food isn't cheap, but Monica Pope isn't in it for the money. She's a passionate advocate for people who make (and grow) great food. While she is bowling you over with her dreamy flavor combinations, she's also single-handedly creating a market for organic farmers, artisanal cheese makers, specialty ranchers and local chocolate makers.

    Come To Daddy: It’s a delicious tequila concoction that is quite pleasing to the eye as well. It’s a refreshing choice for our hot (and humid) days. Slightly tart yet slightly sweet, it felt delicious sliding down my throat. T’afia has a 3 course menu available for lunch on Friday’s. I started off my 1st course with the Lentil soup and the first spoonful in my mouth was a creamy concoction of spices and legumes. It had a hint of cumin in it as well which I always love. Trio of Pomegranate Lamb Chop, Jolie Vue Veal Liver and Braised Pork Belly with a Golden Raisin-Pinenut Chutney: I was hesitant to get this trio due to liver not being even close to my like list, but I wanted to try the lamb out. The lamb was cooked perfectly and each succulent bite made me praise my decision. I also liked the fact there was no mint, I am not a big fan of minty lamb. The pork belly was crispy on the outside and fatty on the inside, it other words, perfect. And just as I suspected, I didn’t care for the liver. The bite at first was decent enough, but I don’t like the somewhat grainy texture and aftertaste that liver gives. For those of you liver lovers, I’m sure you would have loved it.
