Cozy up to our fireplace with a glass of wine expertly paired with a chef-crafted flight of Alaskan salmon. Stop by to grab soup, salad, or sandwiches for the whole crew before heading out for a day of fun around Lake Minnetonka. Or simply check milk and bread off the shopping list on your way home. 

You’ll soon be able to do all of this and more at Lunds and Byerly’s Kitchen, a first-of-its-kind food destination opening in The Promenade of Wayzata on March 6. This is a place for great food, personable expertise, and shopping convenience

The 143-seat restaurant and bar will feature chef-crafted seasonal offerings, stone oven pizzas, burgers, and more. We’ll also have an impressive selection of wine and local craft beers. 

Let’s take a tour of Lunds and Byerly’s Kitchen… 
Stepping through the glass double doors on the corner of Superior Boulevard and Mill Street, you’re welcomed to the restaurant with mouthwatering aromas drifting from the chef’s latest creations. Please feel free to take a seat at a booth or table (you’ll have to wait until the snow melts to sit on our patio). Use the iPad at each table to scroll through the menu – enjoy stone oven pizzas, a juicy burger, or seasonal flights of meats and seafood, just to name a few of our offerings. Once your taste buds decide on a meal, place your order and pay from the convenience of the iPad.

If you’d prefer, grab some seats at the beer and wine bar in the restaurant. We welcome the opportunity to suggest a local brew or teach you why a particular wine pairs perfectly with your meal.

Just past the restaurant, you’ll find a lot more meal inspiration and solutions for you and your family. This includes everything from made-to-order sandwiches , hand-rolled sushi prepared daily from master chefs, and classic comfort foods such as meatloaf, mac & cheese, and our Lunds and Byerly’s soups. Our salad bar features grilled and chilled items like salmon, prosciutto, and seasonal vegetables.

Lunds and Byerly’s Kitchen will focus extensively on freshly prepared foods. We’ll have everything from made-to-order sandwiches and sushi to an amazing salad bar and charcuterie featuring cut-to-order Italian meats. All is available for dine-in or take-out.

You’ll also find a charcuterie station featuring cut‐to‐order Italian meats, an impressive cheese counter with wedges from around the globe, a flavor-packed olive bar and fresh pastries. As you can see, we’ll have an impressive array of options for every taste preference. In fact, you could visit us every day of the week and pick up something different for every member of your family.

Additional offerings will include a tailored selection of groceries, specialty products, and a Caribou Coffee. Enjoy your coffee or meal in the café seating area adjacent to Caribou.

And if you need a hot drink before stepping back into that Minnesota chill, Caribou Coffee is in Lunds and Byerly’s Kitchen. Caribou is even roasting coffee beans right on site.

Just before you hit the parking lot, you can pick up some milk, berries, ground beef, and more as we have a tailored selection of groceries you know and love from our produce, dairy, frozen, bakery, and meat departments.

For our full Lunds and Byerly’s product selection, you can place an order through the iPads in our restaurant or online. We’ll have your groceries delivered right to Lunds and Byerly’s Kitchen where they will be available for pick up in assigned lockers located in the entryway adjacent to our covered parking lot.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen, we hope you enjoyed your visit!

While your written tour has come to an end, we hope you join us in person to explore our next evolution of food-service offerings. Your taste buds will thank you!
