Doris Metropolitan traces its origins to Tel Aviv, where the concept of merging the bold herbaceous flavors of Middle Eastern cooking with the precision of a classic steakhouse took shape. The brand expanded to the United States with its Houston flagship in the Montrose district, followed by a stunning location in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter — both destinations recognized for their serious culinary cultures.
What distinguishes Doris Metropolitan from conventional steakhouses is its in-house dry-aging program. All beef is USDA Prime and aged on-premises for a minimum of 25 days, with certain cuts reaching 27 days for intensified flavor and tenderness. Alongside the dry-aged beef program, the kitchen sources Japanese Wagyu A5 and Australian wagyu for guests seeking the most intensely marbled cuts available. The menu is rounded out by Levantine-influenced starters — dishes like Baladi Eggplant with tahini and pomegranate, Lamb Kebab with schug, and Beef Shawarma with charred eggplant cream — that give the steakhouse a distinct culinary personality.
The beverage program matches the kitchen's ambition. The cocktail list centers on a "Luxe List" of elevated originals priced at $18–$22, alongside seasonal specials and a curated wine list accessible via digital wine sommelier. Doris Metropolitan has earned consistent recognition from local and national food media as one of the standout fine-dining steakhouses on the Gulf Coast.
