San Antonio Chef Steve McHugh’s Hotel Restaurant and Bar Luminaire and Las Bis Are Open - Eater Austin

"Acclaimed San Antonio chef Steve McHugh opened his first Austin restaurant this week. New Texan restaurant Luminaire, along with new bar Las Bis, both opened in downtown Austin in the Hyatt Centric Congress Avenue Austin hotel at 721 Congress Avenue on February 1. McHugh’s general cooking ethos is using and showcasing genuine Texas ingredients with heavy meat components — approaches he employed with his critically acclaimed San Antonio restaurant Cured as well as San Antonio hotel restaurant Landrace. And Luminaire and Las Bis are no exceptions. In Austin, this means lots of Texan meats (yes, tons of charcuterie) and vegetables that are thoughtfully prepared." - Nadia Chaudhury
