Set in Kansas City’s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere is a blend of “big city” bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchant’s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a façade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls.
In the 1940’s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchant’s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurant’s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients.
Brown and Loe Restaurant is the second dining concept introduced by Harry Murphy, owner of the City Market’s popular Harry’s Country Club.

    We are regulars at Brown and Loe and always have a good experience. The Loco Moco is especially a brunch treat!

    For the last few years we have done lunch or brunch at Brown & Loe as a family for New Years’s Eve. It continues to be a lovely way to celebrate the close of one year and start of another. Brown & Loe is a family favorite for good reason - we always have excellent service and truly wonderful food!

    I came here on a Sunday with a guest. I had made reservations for two and we were early. We were seated immediately. After ordering, our food didn't take long at all to get. I had the vegan chilaquiles and coffee with oat milk. Loved it. Our server was attentive. I like the atmosphere as it is a nostalgic building. The only suggestion I have is that the black and white tile part of the floor could use a really good scrubbing to brighten that up.
