Costa Brava

Angeles Dueñas, Owner/General Manager, moved to Houston from Madrid, Spain in 1980.

While teaching Spanish at the Berlitz school, she decided to try the restaurant business and immediately fell in love with the hospitality and vibrant social scene of 1980’s Houston. Her career has spanned over 30 years, including 18 years of management with the Cordua Group – Churrascos, Americás and Artista. Following her passion and knowledge of wine, she obtained the Certified Sommelier status from London’s Court of Master Sommeliers. In 2012, Angeles launched Costa Brava Bistro in Bellaire which fulfilled a life-long dream of bringing fine-dining Spanish cuisine to Houston.
