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

Chef Katherine Therriault & Chef Riley Smith have assembled a spectacular menu of classic items prepared with the freshest local ingredients. An extensive ‘wine by the glass’ menu has been created by our sommelier to pair perfectly with each menu item.

If your desired reservation time is unavailable, call us directly at 519-772-0790.

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

We look forward to showing you a memorable experience!

    The background music was loud. The food was mediocre, at best. The drinks were overpriced, and not at all as described. Overall, a very poor experience, not to be repeated.

    Had a new server in training and she only got half our order right. 2 people ordered rigatoni and both received roasted chicken. I ordered the side Caesar and got charged for it but received fries. 1 person ordered cider but got beer. Beers took a while to get too.
