A new restaurant from the Lambert’s team called La Condesa (Mexican food?) is scheduled to open in February ’09, directly across from Lambert’s at the corner of Guadalupe and 2nd Street. Chef Rene Ortiz of New York’s La Esquina (the corner, haha) will lead the restaurant and Lambert’s Executive Chef Larry McGuire will assist in the beginning. The restaurant will also feature a hip lounge called Malverde above it.
Over on West Sixth, Walton’s Fancy & Staple is moving in and will provide … um, flowers and a deli? Maybe they say it best:
“Walton’s Florist & Nursery has served the Austin & West Lake Hills area from our Bee Caves Road location. Construction is underway for a Walton’s downtown location at 609 W. 6th (across from Katz’s). We’ll offer downtown residents, businesses & visitors exquisite arrangements, beautiful bouquets, gift baskets, comprehensive design services, interior & outdoor plants for the home or office – all available for walk-in customers & by delivery. Walton’s downtown will include a traditional delicatessen & bakery (for folks on the go), & sidewalk café seating. Our Grand Opening is scheduled for late 2008. We look forward to fulfilling your fanciest floral, gift-giving & event design wishes.”
OH YEAH, and Lambert’s has a brunch?! Has anyone been?!
