Theodore Rex

Houston, US

Celebrated Houston chef Justin Yu’s easy-going dining experience Theodore Rex – named after his nephew Theodore – has been winning hearts in the city’s eclectic warehouse district since 2018 (six months after closing his other supremely successful restaurant Oxheart). The 'relaxed fine dining' restaurant boasts a menu that blends Gulf ingredients and influences (say, Gulf redfish crusted in toast and local honey, fermented green garlic, green pea puree) with subtle hints of European and Asian influence (hiramasa, fairy tale aubergine, soy caponata). The vibes inside are as cool as the playful attitude of the menu with ample natural light softening exposed brick walls and long-stemmed light fixtures adding to the industrial chic ambience. A great spot for humble-yet-inventive bites, Theodore Rex is just as enjoyable on an early weeknight as it is on bustling weekends when the space comes alive with hungry Houstonians.
