St. Louis Restaurants

The Crossing
Is St. Louis’ best bang for the restaurant buck (to use Tim Zagat’s phrase) the tasting menus at The Crossing? Quite possibly. Jim Fiala’s flagship restaurant offers a delicious, flavorful four-course meal for $32 or $45 per person, in a location where menu entrees range from $26 to $38. Yes, St. Louis, the servings are

City Diner at the Fox
The big thing to remember about the City Diner at the Fox is that it's a diner. Despite the delightfully retro décor, lava lamps and all, this is not a tongue-in-chic “interpretation of” a diner. Located next door to the Fox Theatre, it's open late and serves breakfast at all hours, more diner qualities that

Eovaldi’s Deli
Sometimes the charm of The Hill is elusive, and people need to be reminded just what it is about the neighborhood that's drawn St. Louisans (and others) for almost a century. We needed some lunch and knew that serious sandwiches from Eovaldi's would fill the void. But we missed it the first time, seeing “Oldani

Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium
Who knew Richmond Heights needed a sandwich shop? The folks who opened Fozzie's Sandwich Emporium last summer did, or thought they did, and it looks–so far–that it has paid off. Across Big Bend from the Richmond Heights Post Office, it's a small spot where the kitchen is bigger than the dining room. Yes, sandwiches,

Seki
Seki’s was a Loop standby long before Delmar Boulevard between Skinker and Kingsland reached its current state of full urban renewal, boasting that it’s been named “one of the 10 great streets of America.” And now that sushi spots are a dime a dozen, even in St. Louis, it remains high among our favorites when

The Original Crusoe’s
Tucked back into a residential neighborhood east of Grand and south of Meramec, The Original Crusoe’s chugs along feeling, in some ways, as though it was 1975. Or maybe 1955. The décor is slightly nostalgic, the menu features home-style food and the portions are gargantuan. Just what St. Louisans go for. And while we have

I Fratellini
Talk about restaurants that have settled into a happy middle age: I Fratellini fills the bill perfectly. Despite a kitchen that has provided exceptional meals for close to a decade, it’s pretty much a spot known mostly by word of mouth, without a huge amount of media attention but with plenty of regular customers. And

Rearn Thai
Rearn Thai is an unassuming little restaurant that sits quietly in downtown Clayton. Tucked into the ground floor of a building, it avoids claustrophobic feelings with a large front window, white walls, plenty of light, and tasty meals that spark the imagination and help kindle conversation. Evenings are usually quiet, although we suspect lunch business
