  • Tango & Malbec

    2800 Sage Galleria

    713-629-8646

    This large, well-appointed Galleria-area restaurant features the cuisine and wines of Argentina, which means lots of meats grilled on a wood-burning fire. Tango & Malbec's extensive menu has some Italian influences - items like the carpaccio, provoleta (grilled provolone) and various pizzas and pasta dishes are all expertly prepared. Meat lovers will adore the bife de lomo (filet steak) and the bife de chorizo (rib eye) as well as the Kobe beef short ribs. Whatever you do, leave room for the magnificent desserts, such as the torta rogel (dulce de leche cake with meringue), the chocolate soufflé and the profiteroles.
