Located at 1244 North Post Oak Rd. next door to Berg Hospitality’s corporate office, NoPo Café, Market & Bar will service an up-and-coming area for which the Houston-based hospitality owner has coined the acronym (NoPo) and name of his newest restaurant. The 3,000 sq. ft. space will be comprised of café seating in the front and a 60-seat dining room in the back along with a 10-seat full-service bar. The rustic yet fresh, French country design will include white birch floors, high ceilings with chandeliers, vintage rodeo wall décor and a custom-made pewter bar. In addition to a large selection of unique local provisions, grab-and-go and pre-made meals and freshly baked pastries, guests can enjoy counter service at breakfast and lunch and full service at dinner. Construction is currently underway, and the restaurant is scheduled to open at the beginning of May 2021.

To assist with his new expansion, Berg Hospitality has also hired two new key members and acclaimed hospitality industry veterans. First is Jose Hernandez who will serve as Culinary Director. With more than 20 years of international training and experience, Jose Hernandez has honed his pastry and savory chef skills in prominent positions at renowned restaurants throughout Mexico, Manhattan, and now his adopted hometown of Houston
