“Life is a celebration. Enjoy it well.”
Culinaria is the creation of long-time Lawrence residents, Aaron Pillar and Regan Lehman Pillar. We opened as a catering company in 2009 and transformed into a weekend restaurant in the fall of 2017. Located in one of east Lawrence’s most historic buildings, Culinaria features made-from-scratch, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, thoughtfully curated wines and both classic & craft cocktails.
Reopened April 15, 2021, Culinaria features a large, outdoor area for patio dining (weather permitting) along with indoor dining and take-out.

Our Building
Located on the northwest corner of 9th and New Jersey, the building housing Culinaria was originally constructed for the Kansas Cavalry after Quantrill’s raid (The Lawrence Massacre) in the fall of 1863. As a barn and carriage house, the dining room was used as a horse stable with a hay loft overhead. The space was also a butcher’s shop and slaughter house in the 1950’s as well as a Volkswagen mechanic in the 1970’s and 80’s.
