Avondale Food & Wine
Avondale Food & Wine is a point of interest in Houston, Texas, located at 240 Westheimer Rd, Houston, Houston, TX.
Avondale Food & Wine was a celebrated Montrose neighborhood institution — a wine bar, farm-to-table restaurant, and retail wine shop rolled into one. Originally opened as L'Olivier in 2012 by Chef Olivier Ciesielski and owner Mary Clarkson, it rebranded in 2018 with a more approachable, market-driven menu while keeping its French soul intact. The atmosphere was modern and elegant yet cozy and unpretentious, with vinyl records spinning and Chef Olivier greeting guests with warmth and humor. The restaurant earned Houston Press Best Wine Shop (2020) and multiple CultureMap Tastemaker nominations for Best Wine Program, and was beloved for dishes like its famous hot fried chicken — ranked Top 5 in Houston by Chronicle critic Alison Cook — alongside a curated retail cellar of 600+ family-owned wines emphasizing the Loire Valley.
