Cheese lovers, rejoice!

The restaurant offers a creatively curated menu featuring elevated versions of classic comfort food with a cheesy twist.
“We’re excited to bring our passion for melted cheese to the U.S.,” said Tom Mavrou, Co-Founder and COO of Meltwich. “Our menu is a tribute to the incredible flavor of cheese, and we can’t wait for our guests in Houston to experience the rich, bold flavors that have made Meltwich a go-to for cheese lovers.”
“Houston has an incredible growth story, and its vibrant food scene is an exciting place for us to launch our first location in the USA.” said Meltwich Executive Vice-President of Development Ryan Hillis.
