What We're About

For over 30 years, Café Piquet has been bringing the heart and soul of Cuba to Houston, one delicious meal at a time. Family-owned and operated since 1996, we take pride in sharing the flavors, traditions, and recipes that have been passed down through generations, while introducing exciting new dishes inspired by our Cuban roots.

From comforting classics like Ropa Vieja, Picadillo, and Pernil Asado to our popular whole Red Snapper, every dish is prepared with care, fresh ingredients, and a whole lot of Cuban love.

Whether you've been dining with us for decades or are discovering our little neighborhood gem for the first time, we invite you to pull up a chair, explore something different, and enjoy a taste of Cuba.

Three generations, over 30 years of tradition, and a passion for bringing people together through great food. Welcome to Café Piquet!

Welcome to your new favorite spot!

At Café Piquet, we believe great food is even better when shared with family and friends! Tucked away in the heart of Bellaire, our family-owned Cuban restaurant is a welcoming neighborhood gem where everyone feels right at home. Whether it’s generations of family gathering around the table, friends catching up over homemade empanadas and crispy mariquitas, or a relaxing afternoon enjoying mojitos and our award-winning sangria on our beautiful patio, there’s always a reason to come together.

With a laid-back atmosphere, warm hospitality, and a little taste of Cuba, Café Piquet is the perfect place to slow down, share a laugh, and make new memories. Come as you are, bring your favorite people, and let us take care of the rest!
