9 Houston Restaurants Serving Impressive Charcuterie Boards (2024)

1. Montrose Cheese & Wine

Perusing the current selection of meats and cheeses prominently displayed in glass cases inside Montrose Cheese & Wine is almost as fun as indulging in them. The quaint shop focuses on small producers with its revolving selections. Choose something to sip on while journeying through flights with enhancements like Texas honeycomb, marcona almonds or house-pickled fennel. Cured meats and salamis are available for adding to a board, but may be ordered by the pound as well, should you want to experiment with crafting at home.

2. Mutiny Wine Room

Like the well-appointed tasting room, Mutiny Wine Bar offers attractive dining choices for pairing with wine, including a picture-perfect charcuterie and cheese board. Along with two selections of cheese and meat, the board is adorned with fruit, olives, roasted almonds, jam and fresh, house-made bread. On the vegan wave? Mutiny makes available a shareable vegan harvest board which reveals hummus, peppers, mushroom ceviche and other appropriate enticements.

3. Postino

This Phoenix-based wine bar, which recently expanded its Houston is favored for its all-encompassing wine program and hearty snack boards. While its customizable bruschetta boards are legendary, Postino’s chef’s charcuterie is equally as impressive. A colorful display of Spanish chorizo, prosciutto di parma and truffle burrata is accompanied with thin, crisp lavash, charred artichokes, olives, and blistered peppers.

Multiple locations.

4. Camerata

This Montrose hideout, quietly neighboring Paulie’s on Westheimer Road is a comfortable place to savor snacks and vino. Boasting to be one of the best charcuterie boards in town, the beloved wine bar offers four meats and four cheeses available to customize a board, from traditional Calabrian salami to a brie-style buffalo milk cheese. Guests can choose as little as one, or a nice spread of four, but we recommend splurging for all eight for $45. Offerings are enhanced with Camerata’s spiced honey, house-made pickles, almonds and olives.

5. Sixty Vines

At this lively two-story wine bar and restaurant in Rice Village, popular for its wide variety of wines on tap, guests can create their own cheese and charcuterie boards to indulge. Choices include garlic and clove soppressata, 18-month aged prosciutto di parma, and Spanish style salame. And, in the way of cheeses, there is smoked cheddar and house-made ricotta.

6. 13 Celsius

Wine may star at this Midtown hideout, but 13 Celsius makes available excellent snacky things for patrons as well. Build a charcuterie board with up to four varieties of meat and cheese, and save room for the wildly popular s’mores dessert board which arrives lit by a flame and accompanied with chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows.

7. North Italia

This BLVD Place hot spot draws in the crowds with its slew of shareable plates, including the Chef’s charcuterie board, large enough to feed up to four people. The Texas-sized board combines generous portions of prosciutto di parma and coppa with pecorino stagionato. Try it as a precursor to a meal of cacio e pepe pizza or housemade bolognese, or visit during happy hour and take advantage of the bottle and board special which pairs the Chef’s charcuterie with a featured vino for $26.

Dimly lit and moody, this hidden Rice Village gem is a cozy place to pair cheese and charcuterie with wines from around the globe. Here, charcuterie boards are available in two sizes, small or large, and feature the chef’s choice of cheeses and meats, along with traditional accoutrements like nuts, honey and fresh fruit. Grab a puzzle or game off the shelf, and settle in for the evening with a full-bodied California cab.
