Americas

If you want to rocket back to Barcelona and see some Gaudi inspired architecture, then stop at the Americas restaurant on Post Oak Blvd in Houston.

This exotic tree with the pink tile lining and lights from within, was above our heads as we sat at the table far ahead under its branches. There is not a straight line in the place, except the fences which prevent you from falling when the floor changes heights.

The food is Honduran and absolutely scrumptious. We all had their specialty, the steak, served with rice, plantains, summer squash, carrots and yucca.

I recommend it for the striking decor and the delicious food. The picture of the metal sculture above was the handle for the door to the ladies room. Thick at the top and fancy at the bottom, where you grabbed in the middle was thinner and your fingers fit under to pull open the door. Bad lighting for an iPhone picture, but you get the idea.
