About Lowlands Group

At Lowlands we're restaurateurs, brand builders, culture swingers, and bicycle believers. We enjoy good food, good company, and most of all... a good bier. We're European-style Grand Cafes. We're a home away from home, a warm welcoming environment to give a bit of respite from the day. From our unique and comforting menus to our extensive bier lists filled with an unmatched selection of rare and even exclusive biers, we're a place to go to grab lunch with a client, weekend brunch with a group, happy hour with co-workers or catch up with a friend for a

relaxing dinner or late night dessert.

All of our locations are unique. A conscious effort is made in site selection to make the most of activating spaces that encourage community and outdoor gathering. Throughout our restaurants you’ll find repurposed materials used in both design and functionality. From floors to ceilings, table tops to bar tops, from bricks to timbers much of what you see is original to the buildings in which we reside or reclaimed from barns, farms and buildings nearby.

We cook real food, from scratch. Our kitchens are committed to finding the highest quality, healthiest, “deceit-free” foods available. Free range and hormone free, whole grains and organic, we work with local purveyors, farmers and artisanal food producers to come up with our own honest house recipes that make the tummies of our guests happy and healthy.
