About Us
Restaura was founded in 2020 by Maria Gonzalez, a Honduran immigrant who wanted to share the rich culinary traditions of her homeland with the people of Brooklyn. With a passion for cooking and a dream of bringing a piece of Honduras to New York, Maria opened Restaura, naming it after the Spanish word for "restore," symbolizing the restoration of traditional flavors in a modern setting.
Our team of chefs, all trained in Honduran cuisine, work tirelessly to ensure that every dish is authentic and delicious. We source our ingredients from local markets and import specialty items directly from Honduras to maintain the integrity of our recipes. At Restaura, we believe that food is a way to connect people and cultures, and we invite you to join us in this culinary adventure.
