One of the best things about living in Houston is that there’s no shortage of award-winning dining. With a variety of cuisines and new chefs breaking into the scene every day, Houston’s culinary scene is second to none. The Bastion Collection – a global leader in fine dining and luxury hospitality, collectively awarded 10 Michelin Stars and three Michelin Keys since 2019 – has joined forces with Houston’s premier off-site catering powerhouse, Cafe Natalie. Together, the two groups are expanding their reach to offer Houstonians exceptional hospitality both on and off-site.

The collaboration introduces Bastion Events, a catering platform that delivers world-class cuisine and flawless service to celebrations of every scale via off-site catering and also two new concepts at 1800 Post Oak in Uptown: Soleil, a luminous, design-driven event space, and Moon, an intimate, magnetic bar.
