1. Best for Date Night: Brasserie by Niche
If you’re planning a romantic date night with someone special, you can’t go wrong with Brasserie by Niche at 4580 Laclede Avenue. From its bright red exterior to the buzzing Parisian café atmosphere inside, this upscale bistro impresses with its authentic French cuisine.
Appetizers include wild burgundy escargot or classic French soup which you can follow up with cassoulet or pan-seared trout amandine. And, if you still have room for dessert, how about the Brasserie’s Floating Island: a poached meringue with crème anglaise and toasted almonds?
2. Best Barbecue Restaurant in St. Louis: Pappy’s Smokehouse
Located at 3106 Olive Street, Pappy’s Smokehouse is a barbecue lover’s heaven. This joint keeps things simple, serving up thick beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken with all the traditional sides of baked beans, slaw, and corn. But, what sets this smokehouse apart is its award-winning ribs, slow-smoked over apple and cherry wood for up to 24 hours.
Everything is freshly cooked daily, and they often run out of popular dishes, so jump in your sporty Mazda MX-5 and get there early so you don’t miss out!
3. Best for Breakfast: Songbird
For a breakfast treat, head to Songbird at 4476 Chouteau Avenue, open between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day except Tuesday. Among its dishes freshly prepared with locally sourced ingredients is the combo sandwich: a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Aged white cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, and a sunny fried egg are drizzled with local honey, placed in a toasted sourdough, and topped with a healthy sprinkling of sea salt. Simply delicious!
4. Best Seafood Restaurant: Peacemaker Lobster & Crab
If you enjoy seafood and are prepared to get messy, check out Peacemaker Lobster & Crab at 1831 Sidney Street. Diners are greeted by whitewashed brick walls, rustic wood, and photographs of fishermen, all centered around a 130-year-old stone oyster trough that serves as the raw bar. In addition to lobster and crab, you’ll enjoy fresh oysters, peel-and-eat shrimp, a crudo of the day, gumbo, and buffalo crawfish po’boys.
Whether heading out for date night, treating the kids to breakfast, or meeting friends for a night on the town, you’ll want to get there in style. Head down to Bommarito Mazda West County in Ellisville, MO today, and test drive the vehicle that will take you to your next meal in one of St. Louis’ finest eateries.
