The Lymbar—a Latin-Mediterranean restaurant, bar and lounge project by chef David Cordúa—opened in December in the Ion building at 4201 Main St., Houston.
The eatery is named after Lymbar Drive, a street in Meyerland where Cordúa’s grandparents settled in Houston after moving to the city from Nicaragua, according to a press release. Cordua said his grandmother's house was where he was introduced to the Latin flavors on display at his new restaurant, first popularized by his father Michael Cordúa at Churrascos and Americas restaurants.
“The Lymbar is my grandmother’s house,” Cordúa said in a statement. “It’s a tribute to all grandmothers. ... The Lymbar is the distillation of our heritage.”
Cordúa is joined by executive chef Adolfo Lopez, Jr., who past credits include Brenner’s on the Bayou, Uchi and Churrascos.
