Houston, a large metropolitan area near the Texas Gulf coast, is a diverse area. More than two million people live in Houston. The city was named for Sam Houston, who was the "President" of Texas in the early 19th century when the area was briefly regarded as an independent country. Houston offers major cultural attractions in every area of the arts and is home to many Fortune 500 companies. Houston hosts restaurants in many styles and tastes. Russian cuisine is available in Houston.
Cafe Europe serves foods of Russia and Europe. Entrees include Russian favorites such as pirogues and borscht. Less adventurous diners can instead enjoy American food including steaks or the salad bar. Cafe Europe offers a dance floor and DJ music most nights of the week, and sometimes features live performers, including belly dancers. The restaurant can get a bit loud and is not ideal for families looking for a casual setting. Cafe Europe is decorated in a Russian style and is a popular attraction for Houston singles seeking an entertaining nightlife.
