I’ve lived in New York City, so it should go without saying that I’m hurting for good food in St. Louis.
Or should it?
At Friday night’s #stl #tweet-up, @Tojosan and @MattHomann, determined to convince me that St. Louis isn’t just BBQ and steak, drafted a list for me of the best restaurants and bars in St. Louis. Here’s what they came up with: (note: their original list has been extended to include more recommendations from friends reading this blog and following me on twitter).
33 (wine bar)
Absolulty Goosed
Bailey’s Chocolate Bar
The Bleeding Deacon (for good bar food)
Boogaloo’s (Maplewood)
Farotto’s (great lasagna!)
Franco
Frazier’s Brown Bag
Grazzi’s (The Hill)
Hodak’s (for fried chicken)
Iron Barley
La Vellasana
Niche
Olympia (Greek – try the flaming cheese!)
Pi
Porch (store)
Ravanelli’s (Collinsville, IL)
Red Sea (Ethiopian)
Venice Cafe
Do you think my twitter friends have omitted great St. Louis restaurants? Leave me a comment, and I’ll add your suggestion to my list!
