Paleo Friendly Eats at Ruggles Black

Ruggles Black has become one of Houston’s favorite Paleo-friendly restaurants.

The Paleo Diet, also know as the “caveman diet” is one of the most nutritionally sound diets around because it consists of fresh fruits, vegetables and animal protein, while eliminating the intake of grains, dairy, processed foods, and sugars from your routine. Given that the latter seem to be in EVERYTHING we consume, it’s nice to have a place where you can enjoy your meal without compromising your goals.

Ruggles Black offers a combination of Indian, French and American fare in a eclectically-chic setting. Under the direction of chef Bruce Molzan and his partner, Neera Patidar this trendy spot offers alluring dishes fit to suite the palates of  both the conscious eater and the eater-eater’s, like me. I sampled a few items from their various menus (some Paleo, some not) and have highlighted my recommendations below.
