Rado Cafe & Market in Third Ward unites community with all-day cafe

Foodies & Friends: RADO Market & Cafe

Chef Chris Williams (Lucille’s Hospitality Group) introduces Chef Jaden Gaines to Katie Stone and they all talk about creating the dishes on the Eat Drink HTX menu at The RADO Market & Cafe.

HOUSTON - Named for its historic location beneath the Eldorado Ballroom, Rado Cafe & Market is a hybrid all-day cafe and neighborhood market for the Third Ward community — bringing culturally-conscious prepared foods, fresh groceries, locally-sourced products and a bistro-inspired menu to the Emancipation corridor.

The brainchild of Lucille’s Hospitality Group, Rado is on a mission to feed the future while serving the past, creating a culinary hub that prioritizes healthy, affordable food access and centers on the palates and people that make up its long-standing community.

The Café is offering a $15 brunch and a $15 lunch menu for EatDrinkHTX this year.
