Restaurant Claudine resides in a remodeled home on a quiet side-street, just steps away from the repurposed Pearl brewery complex in the heart of San Antonio. Join correspondent Tom Wilmer for a delightful visit with the vibrant and effusive Cassie Ramsey, Chef de Cuisine.
Restaurant Claudine offers snug tables surrounded by elegant hand-painted wallpaper, vintage chandeliers, and sentimental pictures of the namesake, the diner’s founder, Houston Carpenter’s grandmother, Claudine.
Cassie Ramsay crafts truly magical and delectable culinary treats in her kitchen. Inspired by grandma’s southern-comfort style cuisine with an elevated French influence, menu items include: fried chicken with fermented hot honey and pommes puree, as well as duck confit made with butternut squash puree, glazed rainbow carrots, and pecans.
On weekends Restaurant Claudine offers a special brunch menu that includes shrimp and grits and hotcakes with a seasonal berry-compote.
