    adieu revival market

    Heights neighborhood favorite restaurant/market announces sudden shutter

    A Heights staple restaurant and cafe will soon serve its final meals, but the space will be revived under new ownership. Revival Market will close this Sunday, July 31.

    Revival owner Agricole Hospitality has elected not to renew its lease on the space at 550 Heights Blvd. Instead, Revival general manager Layne Cruz will leave the company to open a new restaurant in the space.

    “Layne, who started with our company in 2014 as a server at Coltivare, grew into the role of Revival’s Assistant Manager before serving as General Manager for the last five years," Agricole owners Ryan Pera, Morgan Weber, and Vincent Huynh said in a statement. "Since then, she’s gone above and beyond for our guests and our team every single day, and there is nobody else we’d rather see lead the Revival space into its new chapter than Layne.”

    Opened in 2011 by Weber and Pera, Revival Market operated as both a market for high-quality grocery items and a cafe that served breakfast and lunch with a full coffee program. Over time, the concept added beer and wine to its offerings.

    "Our neighborhood has evolved immeasurably since our doors opened in March of 2011,” the trio added. “It has been amazing to live life with our guests over that time — celebrating with them, on occasion grieving with them, watching their toddlers grow into young adults. Running Revival has been one of the most impactful experiences of our lives, and it was truly what birthed what is now known as Agricole Hospitality.”

    After some interior renovations, Cruz expects to open the new, still unnamed restaurant, in mid-August (UPDATE: The new restaurant will be called Lagniappe Kitchen & Bar.). All of Revival Market's current employees are being offered jobs at the new establishment, according to a release. Details on the cuisine and style of service have yet to be released, but Cruz will continue the coffee program and maintain aspects of the wine list.

    "I am beyond grateful to the Agricole team for giving me a leg up in my dream of owning a restaurant, and especially in a spot that’s already familiar to me and has a wonderful variety of regular clientele,” Cruz said. “I'm excited to jazz up their daily stop, and to continue to build upon the amazing following that Agricole and I have nurtured together over the past 8 years."

    As for Agricole, it will open EZ’s Liquor Lounge next to Coltivare later this summer. The casual bar will be led by veteran bartender Matt Tanner and feature vintage design elements.

    Shuttered Houston restaurant revived for 1 night only at Canada Day pop-up

    One of the saddest restaurant closures of 2025 will get a one-night-only revival. Favorite dishes from Riel will return at Chardon on Sunday, June 28 for an event being called “Booze Can Sunday.”

    While a French fine dining restaurant might seem like an unlikely host for a Riel revival, Chardon executive chef E.J. Miller once served as Riel’s opening sous chef. Miller invited his former boss, Riel chef-owner Ryan Lachaine, to join him for a pop-up that honors Canada Day.

    Together, the duo will serve some of Riel’s most popular dishes, including:

    • Truffle and Caviar Pierogies
    • Steak Au Poivre Poutine with Cheese Curds
    • Deli Dog
    • Montreal Smoked Meat Sliders
    • Torche Kolaches
    • Mushroom Empanadas
    • Gator Karaage
    • Maple Whiskey Soft Serve with Foie Caram

    The day will also feature drink specials such as Canadian Jell-O Shots, Molson X, Canadian Club, Old Grand-Dad, and more. Robin Wong, a co-owner of Blood Bros. BBQ and a successful DJ, will spin throughout the event.

    "Riel was a special place for a lot of people, and Booze Can Sunday was always one of the most anticipated events of the week," said Miller. "Ryan and I wanted to bring back that energy for one day, celebrate the restaurant that meant so much to us, and give guests a chance to revisit some of the dishes and memories they loved."

    Riel opened in January 2017 and closed in August 2025. In between, it earned wide acclaim for the way Lachaine blended his Canadian upbringing and Ukrainian heritage with the modern Gulf Coast cuisine he learned while working at restaurants such as Reef and Underbelly.

    Currently, Lachaine works as the executive chef at River Oaks restaurant State of Grace. He added two Riel signatures to State of Grace’s menu — the caviar tater tots and signature butter burgers.

    Chardon, which earned a Best New Restaurant nomination in the 2026 CultureMap Tastemaker Awards for its blend of classic French fare with Texas ingredients, opened in February 2025. In addition to Riel, Miller’s resume includes SaltAir Seafood Kitchen, International Smoke, and Muse.

    Booze Can Sunday takes place from 3-9 pm. Attendees are encouraged to register on Eventbrite.
