Cordua Restaurants has leased a 9,000-square¬foot retail space in the 21 Waterway Avenue building in The Woodlands Town Center for construction of Churrascos, planned to open in the spring of 2007, according to Dan Leverett, Vice President Commercial for The Woodlands Development Company.

The bi-level restaurant will feature a bar on the street level and dining room overlooking The Woodlands Waterway® on the second level. According to Pat McCarley, chief financial officer of Cordua Restaurants, The Woodlands location will be different than other Churrascos because of the setting, which is being designed by Studio Gaia of New York, NY, award-winning designers of several W Hotels. and Tao in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas among other notable projects. The design firm specializes in artfully blending chic minimalism with a theatrical flair to create some of the most fashionable environments in the country, according to McCarley.

Churrascos is a South American-style restaurant that incorporates the flavors of Latin American cuisine and utilizes high-quality American ingredients. Signature items include the Churrasco, a charcoal-grilled center-cut beef tenderloin steak, Tres Leches dessert – vanilla cake laced with three sweet creams and topped with a light menngue, and Cordua’s signature plantain chips and chimichurri served on every table.
