Le Jardinier
HOUSTON
Le Jardinier at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston is beautifully situated on the west side of the Kinder Building, where its floor-to-ceiling windows provide a breathtaking view of the lush and shaded Isamu Noguchi-designed Cullen Sculpture Garden.
Taking inspiration from nature, Steven Harris and Lucien Rees-Roberts of Steven Harris Architects designed a space using plush, sage carpet; veneer walls of vintage limba wood; and a ceiling installation of Noguchi’s Akari lanterns.
Le Jardinier is rooted in the refined elegance of French culinary technique, with Executive Chef Felipe Botero at the helm.
