Located in the Northern Waikato region of Thames Valley, Paeroa is famous in New Zealand for its iconic softdrink - L&P (Lemon and Paeroa), as well as its rather large L&P bottle in the town itself.
Not too far, on the edge of town, sits a cafe, as famous for its great food and service as the town is for its famous softdrink.
L&P Cafe, Bar and Brasserie has been around for ages, but has recently come under new management, and with it, a fantastic new menu and a fresh new feel.
Open all day and into the evening, come and experience our new menu. Stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner (which includes our famous L&P braised pork belly!) and relax with our great service. We have a fully stocked bar, so can quench any thirst you may have.

MenuWhether in the mood for our fantastic L&P braised pork belly, or something lighter - we have something that will fit the bill.
