About Le Jardinier
With locations in Houston, New York, Miami, and Geneva, Le Jardinier is a collaborative culinary experience conceptualized by the Bastion Collection and chef Alain Verzeroli. Rooted in the refined elegance of French culinary technique, Le Jardinier celebrates seasonality with dishes that encapsulate the land’s rich offerings on every plate, reflecting and paying tribute to the rhythm of nature. Le Jardinier earned a Michelin star in the inaugural Michelin Guide for Texas in 2024, making the MFAH only the second American museum to house a Michelin-starred restaurant.
