Chef Bryan Caswell, renowned for his long-standing Midtown restaurant Reef, has returned to Houston with a new venture in the Memorial neighborhood called Latuli. Emphasizing the flavors of the Gulf Coast and his passion for Texan culture, Caswell curates a menu that showcases the best of local ingredients sourced from nearby farms and ranches.
The offerings at Latuli are distinctly Texan, featuring dishes such as smoked redfish paired with pimento cheese dips, Wagyu barbacoa served alongside sunchoke purée, and a hearty field pea posole topped with pickled serrano. Each plate reflects a polished yet authentic approach to regional cuisine.
No visit would be complete without indulging in dessert; the seven-layer Texas sheet cake stands out as a delightful highlight, sure to impress any sweet tooth.
For those interested in experiencing this culinary gem, Latuli is located at 8900 Gaylord, and reservations can be made by calling 832-241-6144 or visiting their website at latuli.com.
