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.
Seared Ahi Tuna Salad
Arugula, Mixed Greens, Dried Mango, Apples, Cashews, Sweet Chili Vinaigrette
Fried Oysters with Caviar & Brussel Sprouts
Roasted Beet and Pork Belly Salad
The Ruggles Black Burger
Paleo Fried Rice with Snapper
Thomas’ Vietnamese Pho
Their dessert menu is lavish and abundantly stocked with all your favorite treats. I couldn’t escape with out diving into their warm and perfectly sweet creme brulee, it’s a favorite of mine! Not into desserts so much? Go with a cup of Joe and a scone!
