Menus
Brennan's of Houston is situated in a historic building that was designed by architect John Staub in the 1920s for the Junior League of Houston. Staub designed the building with Latin colonial style, drawing inspiration from the Don José Faurie mansion, a Spanish Creole house built in 1795 in the New Orleans French Quarter. Interestingly, this same mansion later became the home of Brennan’s of New Orleans.
