Bravery Chef Hall is Houston's first Chef Hall. A platform for talented chefs and bartenders to develop concepts in our hospitality incubator, Bravery offers unique and innovative dining experiences for Houstonians and travelers from around the globe.
"This chef-led food court is on the street level of Aris Market Square Tower and is home to six original dining concepts worth visiting. Get your fill of seafood gems at Margaux’s Oyster Bar or Kokoro Sushi, or go for something heartier like a plate of sausage radiatore at Figo Sugo. Just thirsty? Bravery houses two bars, including Soho Garden, in the hall’s picturesque open-air courtyard." - Eater Staff

"Chef Sam Mangkalee and owner Steve Weng are set to open Banh Banh Thai Food in August, serving comforting Thai classics such as Pad Thai, coconut shrimp salad, and drunken noodles." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Fitting for a group that cannot decide on what to eat, this food hall eliminates the worry of splitting checks or deciding on one cuisine that satisfies everyone. Various stalls include diverse options like Vietnamese gastropub The Blind Goat’s spin on traditional dishes like tofu bibimbap and dry chicken pho, Kororo’s daily crudo specials and super fresh nigiri, and Marguax’s oysters. Check out Secret Garden for a cocktail or cup of coffee." - Katie Holtman, Brittany Britto Garley
"A new restaurant serving ceviche, Mexican-style grilled meats, and housemade chorizo is set to open later this month at Downtown’s Bravery Chef food hall. Ixim is the work of rising chef Tim Reading, who previously worked for James Beard Award-winner Michael Schlow in Boston before heading to Houston to work under another James Beard winner, Hugo Ortega, at Caracol. Under Ortega, Reading fell in love with Mexican cuisine, the chef tells Culturemap, and was inspired to start his own restaurant after being laid off during the pandemic. No word yet on an exact opening date for Ixim, but stay tuned for more details." - Brittanie Shey
