The Sad, Slow Decline of IMDbBackstreet Cafe – Highly Recommended
Backstreet Cafe is located on the Shepherd curve just south of W. Dallas St. Prices are a bit upscale, but the ambience is unbeatable. We usually try to go in the spring or fall, when the moderate temperatures make their patio a nearly magical place to dine. We actually just went this past weekend (10/11/2002), but were sadly disappointed to find that our *favorite* soup (sherried mushroom) was no longer on the menu. We tried their new asparagus soup, but it was extraordinarily ordinary.
As for the rest of the menu, I had the duck spring roll appetizer, which was fantastic. We also love the coffee-crusted steak and the meatloaf tower. They also have a good wine list.
In summary, we still love Backstreet, but given the large selection of quality dining in Houston, we may go less frequently now that our favorite soup is no longer available. It’s still a beautiful dining experience in temperate weather, and the food is certainly above average, so keep Backstreet in mind.
