Founder Ben Mouton announced his return to Mouton’s Bistro, the beloved Cedar Park eatery located at 1821 S. Lakeline Blvd., Ste. 104. After a recent change of ownership, the restaurant is undergoing a brief closure for cleaning and repairs, with plans to reopen in late November or early December.

New Ownership, Same Community Focus

Mouton’s Bistro has long been a staple for families and friends gathering for classic comfort food. Mouton emphasized that the transition in ownership will not alter the restaurant’s commitment to quality service and a welcoming atmosphere. “We’re excited to welcome our neighbors back and to continue serving the dishes they love,” he said.

Expanded Menu Coming Soon

According to a post on the bistro’s Facebook page, the reopening will feature several new menu items. Patrons can look forward to fresh beignets, as well as a hearty cheddar‑herb chicken and waffles dish. These additions aim to broaden the bistro’s appeal while preserving the familiar flavors that have made it a local favorite.

Hiring Opportunities for Cedar Park Residents

The bistro is actively recruiting for a variety of positions, including cooks, dishwashers, servers, bartenders and managers. Mouton highlighted the importance of hiring locally, noting that the restaurant hopes to provide stable employment opportunities for community members. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply through the bistro’s website or in person.

Reopening Timeline

While the exact date remains flexible, Mouton indicated that the doors should swing open between late November and early December. The temporary closure will allow the new owners to complete necessary cleaning, repairs and any upgrades to the kitchen and dining area.

Community Impact

Mouton’s Bistro’s return is expected to boost local commerce, drawing both longtime patrons and new visitors to the Cedar Park area. The restaurant’s hiring push also aligns with broader efforts to strengthen the local job market, especially in the hospitality sector.

Residents who have missed the bistro’s signature dishes are encouraged to stay tuned for the official reopening announcement, which will be shared on the restaurant’s social media channels and website.
