Aaron Bludorn s restaurant in the Fourth Ward section of Houston s
Montrose neighborhood. Following a decade working for legendary
French chef Daniel Boulud in New York City, Aaron was lured to
Houston (his wife, Victoria s hometown) by the welcoming spirit of
Houstonians who embrace newcomers, especially in the culinary
community. At Bludorn, diners experience Aaron s fine dining
sensibility with the feeling of a timeless neighborhood restaurant.
The food is familial but thoughtful, the hospitality warm yet
polished, and the scene vibrant, spirited, and a fit for any
occasion. Aaron embraces the restaurant s close proximity to
seafood from the Gulf, meat from Texas ranches, incredible produce
being grown by local farmers, and ingredients from around the world
in a hat tip to 807 Taft s first life as a global import outpost
for the city of Houston.
