The Bauer Kitchen is an energetic up-market 'bistro' set in a SoHo inspired, restored felt factory.

Always walk-in friendly. Please pay us a visit when in the Kitchener & Waterloo area.

We look forward to showing you a memorable experience!

    Server Jessica was very very good. Engaging and attentive without being over the top. I’m a lifelong fan of this restaurant group. They do it better than most.

    We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday at The Bauer. The service was fantastic- the servers were on top of everything. The service was excellent from the front door to the table. There is something on the menu for everyone including my daughter who requires both vegan and gluten free options. She was even able to enjoy dessert which rarely is available vegan gluten free. The food was very good and of course I always like to enjoy the Charcoal Red when I am there.
