  • Lone Wolf Coffee Company

    15480 Clayton Road Manchester/ Ballwin

    636-527-7027

    Lone Wolf is much larger than an average coffee house. In fact, it feels more like a lodge than a coffee shop, with its outdoorsy décor. The menu also steps above the coffee-shop template, with gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, daily specials and a grilled cheese du jour alongside the standard muffins and scones. Lone Wolf also serves beer and wine in addition to its lattes and espressos.
  • Lucas Park Grille

    1234 Washington Ave. St. Louis - Washington Avenue

    314-241-7770

    Lucas Park Grille was the first restaurant to call Washington Avenue home just after the 2004 loft district revitalization. The swank hub of Washington Avenue nightlife might not be synonymous with foie gras and $40 steaks, and if it's sedate, mannerly high-end dining that you seek, look elsewhere. Its perfectly executed new American cuisine is served up on large and small plates in a large and elegant industrial space filled with stone, copper and brick and several warm fireplaces for a cozy winter spot. An award-winning wine list includes over 300 selections. On the weekends, the bar is bursting at the seams with togged up revelers sporting their finest and throwing back calorie-friendly beer and rainbow colored shots. You'll find an electric atmosphere and some of the best people-watching in town.

  • Nadoz Euro Bakery & Café-St. Louis

    3701 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis - Midtown

    314-446-6800

    Part of the Steven Becker Fine Dining mini-empire -- which includes the fancy Coronado Ballroom and Lazy Susan Catering, both housed in the same prewar building across Lindell from SLU -- Nadoz is the casual-fare sheep of the family, offering simple and tasty provisions for breakfast, lunch, dinner and, most notably, brunch. The Sunday "50 items for $25" all-you-can-eat to-do includes a smashing array of pastries and desserts: chocolate sour cream muffins, triple-chocolate scones, fruit tarts and tiramisu. Reservations recommended.

  • Nosh

    1135 S. Big Bend Blvd., St. Louis Richmond Heights

    314-781-2345

    Nosh calls itself a "neighborhood bistro," but the menu hews closer to the casual-café template: soups, salads, sandwiches. That's not a complaint. Within this modest scope, chef and owner Paula Anderson operates with creativity, care and conscience. The soups are excellent, especially a fall offering of butternut squash soup, rich, creamy and a gorgeous orange. The burger, made from locally raised, grass-fed beef and topped with cheddar cheese, caramelized onion and roasted red pepper aioli, is very good, as is a sandwich with ham, Brie and a fantastic chutney of pear and black walnut, made in-house.

  • Olio

    1634 Tower Grove Ave. St. Louis - Tower Grove

    314-932-1088

    Olio sits in a brilliantly re-purposed service station in the McRee neighborhood. With the Midwest’s top sommelier Andrey Ivanov at the helm, you can expect a topnotch wine list, which Olio has, including some odd varietals and a great Rosé made just for them. But the cocktails, too, are first rate. The menu changes each month, and bar manager John Fausz pays homage to classic cocktails from every era. The drink list is an eloquent little history lesson on the origin of each selection. Olio has nothing on draft, but it does offer a carefully curated list of beers in bottles and cans. Be sure to order a bite from the small kitchen, which is visible from the bar. From snacks like marinated olives, toasted nuts and hummus to heartier fare like tartines and rotisserie chicken, the food is every bit as good as the drinks.

  • The Original Pancake House

    17000 Chesterfield Airport Road Chesterfield

    636-536-4044

    The original Original Pancake House opened in Portland, Oregon, in 1953. It is now a national chain, with more than 100 locations in 28 states. Like the name says, pancakes are the main attraction here, from simple buttermilk pancakes with rich whipped butter and warm maple syrup to the restaurant's two signature specials: The apple pancake, with cinnamon-glazed apples in a thick batter, is like having an entire cake for breakfast. More subtle is the "Dutch Baby," a thin, bowl-shaped pancake served with butter, powdered sugar and lemon wedges. Pancakes are available with various fruits and nuts; potato, wheat germ and buckwheat pancakes are also on the menu.

  • Panorama

    1 Fine Arts Drive St. Louis - Forest Park

    314-721-0072

    After a series of bad press and financial difficulties, the team behind Panorama at the Saint Louis Art Museum knew they had to make some changes. As part of their reinvention efforts, they brought in a new general manager, a new chef and changed the menu to better reflect the tastes of St. Louis diners. Their efforts paid off. The new (and much improved) Panorama features dressed-up classic dishes, such as apricot baked brie, beef carpaccio and a grilled chicken Waldorf salad. Panorama’s menu also includes several excellent vegetarian options, such as the hearty Ozark Forest mushroom melt and the zucchini, kale and mushroom platter. The croque-madame, overstuffed with thinly shaved ham and accented with apples and sage, is topped with melted Gruyere, béchamel sauce and an over easy egg for an excellent lunch or brunch option. Panorama’s menu also includes several entrees, such as a Burgundy braised short rib, beef tenderloin and grilled chicken. The vegetarian autumn zucchini, kale and mushroom platter, served over goat-cheese polenta, is a must-try, even for meat-eaters. Panorama serves brunch on Sunday, with a menu that includes smoked salmon benedict and decadent stuffed French toast. With its tasty food, gorgeous setting and stunning view, Panorama is a delicious dining destination.

  • Pat Connolly Tavern

    6400 Oakland Ave. St. Louis - Dogtown

    314-647-7287

    It's difficult to think of Dogtown without the Pat Connolly Tavern coming to mind. Opened in 1942 by a recent immigrant from Galway County, Ireland, the pub is the canvas on which much of the neighborhood's green, white and orange history was painted. Over the decades, the venerable bar-and-grill has mastered the classic Irish pub formula: a down-to-earth atmosphere, friendly service and cold Guinness on tap. Under new owners Theresa Connolly Jovanovich and Joe Jovanovich, who are descendants of the eponymous Pat Connolly, the tavern also has a new-and-improved menu of classic pub food and a sleeker look that harkens back to its mid-century origins. The famous fried chicken, of course, hasn't changed -- and it's still some of the best in town.

  • Pie Pantry

    310 E. Main St. Belleville/ Fairview Heights

    618-277-4140

    Customers are charmed by the Pie Pantry's uncontrived, small-town civility but drawn in by the voluptuous procession of pies, many crowned by soft white tufts of meringue. The restaurant has a fancy though conventional menu as well: The crab-stuffed shrimp and Asiago ravioli would be at home on the menu of Red Lobster, the Pasta House or T.G.I. Friday's. The spinach salad, heaped with chopped egg and inch-long strips of bacon, radiates freshness and simplicity.

  • Piper Palm House-Cafe Madeleine

    4256 Magnolia Ave. St. Louis - Forest Park

    314-575-5658

    Nestled inside St. Louis' Victorian jewel, Tower Grove Park, the Vernon W. & Marion K. Piper Palm House is a popular upscale host for weddings and parties with its high glass ceilings and lush array of vibrant greenery. Inside the Palm House, park visitors on Sunday can relax with brunch at Café Madeline. The French-inspired menu features an omelet station, soups, salads and a changing list of entrées. Fresh orange juice, coffee and mimosas are available to round out the dining experience, along with the café's namesake dessert. Reservations are strongly recommended and should be made well in advance on special holidays.

  • Prasino

    1520 S. 5th St. St. Charles County

    636-277-0202

    The first Missouri outpost for a small, Chicago-based chain of restaurants, Prasino features contemporary American cuisine while adhering to an environmentally conscious philosophy. The menu features a broad spectrum of dishes, from flatbreads to sushi to St. Louis-style pork steak. Especially noteworthy are the pork belly and scallop tacos, a fun, fusion-style interpretation of a classic Mexican dish. Another must-try are the beef short ribs, simmered for hours in a truffled Cabernet mushroom sauce – this refined comfort food is the perfect dish for a cool evening. The large bar at Prasino provides a lively spot to sample fresh sushi and eclectic small plates over seasonal cocktails. While food and service can be a bit inconsistent, depending on the size of the crowd, Prasino provides a nice alternative to the large chains that overpopulate the St. Charles area.

  • The Restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton

    100 Carondelet Place St. Louis - North Downtown

    314-863-6300

  • Rooster

    1104 Locust St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-241-8118

    This charming crêperie brings a little bit of Paris to downtown. Savory crêpes feature both the hearty ("German-style" sausages, bacon, roasted sirloin) and the delicate (Brie with roasted apples, egg with Gruyère). Fans of owner Dave Bailey's Lafayette Square hot spot Baileys' Chocolate Bar won't be surprised by the excellent sweet crêpes, from a simple lemon crêpe dusted with sugar to the indulgent "Peanut Butter Cup," which is even richer than its namesake. The menu also features soups, salads and sandwiches as well as Serendipity ice cream and Kaldi's coffee.

  • Sassy Jac's

    1730 S. 8th St. St. Louis - Soulard

    314-932-1280

    In appearance and ambiance, Sassy JAC’s is the quintessential Soulard tavern. Yet chef Andrew Ladlie, who owns Sassy JAC’s with his wife, Jennifer, brings a serious pedigree to the party: His résumé includes time as the sous chef at west-county institution Annie Gunn’s. The fare is southern, unfussy and delicious. Standouts include a spicy blackened grouper sandwich, a “club” sandwich with chicken and andouille, excellent fried chicken in gravy (Wednesdays only) and topnotch garlic fries.

  • Shangri-La Diner

    2201 Cherokee St. St. Louis - South City

    314-772-8308

    Miss MoKaBe's brunch? It's on at the Shangri-La, a kitschy-cool hangout started up by MoKaBe's brunch mastermind, Patrice Mari. Come in on Sundays for crème brûlée French toast, freshly made strawberry-lime-orange juice, scrambled tofu, fruit pie and more. Or stop by on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for an à la carte breakfast or lunch to take the edge off an afternoon of Antique Row browsing. The anti-aging menu means lots of yummy salmon, beans, tofu, spinach and fruit. But Mari's not afraid of a little dessert, either; she makes a cupcake called Hostess with the Mostess. It is, and so is she.

  • Soulard Coffee Garden Café

    910 Geyer Ave. St. Louis - Soulard

    314-241-1464

    The neighborhood of Soulard needs its Coffee Garden. Besides being the area's only true coffeehouse, it's also one of the only places to have breakfast, and almost the only non-bar eatery where a non-bar, non-greasy, non-fried lunch can be had. Daybreak brings the usual assortment of bagels and muffins, plus a surprising array of omelettes and other full plates; lunch leans heavily toward juicy pressed sandwiches, accompanied by your choice of greens or fruit salad. An upstairs room that doubles as an art gallery and, as promised by the name, a lovely brick-lined garden out back makes Soulard Coffee Garden the kind of hangout that encourages lingering; you'll probably be late getting to wherever you're supposed to go next.

  • Southwest Diner

    6803 SW Ave., St. Louis Maplewood

    314-260-7244

    The Southwest Diner is a new diner that refuses to fall into the “new diner” trap. No faux nostalgia here — just breakfast and lunch with a heavy Southwestern accent, in a space that gets all of the little diner details right. Breakfast balances typical American diner fare (egg-potatoes-meat-toast platters, omelets) with riffs like New Mexico-style breakfast burritos and buttermilk-cornmeal pancakes. Lunch includes a green-chile cheeseburger and Southwestern-style (i.e., stacked, not rolled) enchiladas with your choice of meat and red or green chile sauce.

  • Stacked Burger Bar

    7637 Ivory Ave. St. Louis - South City

    314-655-4900

  • Table

    1821 Cherokee St. St. Louis - South City

    314-449-1888

    First world problem alert: the overwhelming array of options at Table may induce a great deal of angst in a party of two -- at last count, the dinner menu alone contained fifty items. Without looking positively gluttonous, two people can maybe make it through six dishes. This creates quite a conundrum for indecisive guests; Chef Cassy Vires is exceptionally talented, so diners know that one option is as good as the next. No matter how much a small party tries to narrow things down, it is impossible to remain focused on what is at hand rather than the "dish not taken."

  • Table Three

    16765 Main St. Wildwood

    636-458-4333

    Beth Williams, owner of Cuisine d'Art Café and Catering, has big-city aspirations for her first dinner restaurant, located in the new Wildwood Town Center. The décor hits all the modern-American trends (cast iron, banquettes, chalkboard, open kitchen), while the menu offers reliable favorites. Three different steak preparations are available, as is a lamb "porterhouse": two loin chops nicely accented with a rosemary-herb demiglace. The crab-cake appetizer is quite good. Allow yourself to be tempted by the dessert menu, which includes homey favorites like chocolate-chip cookies as well as very good bread pudding.

  • Tiffany's Original Diner

    7402 Manchester Road Maplewood

    314-644-0929

    You want dinner theater? Plop your fanny down on one of Tiffany's dozen-plus vinyl-topped stools and eavesdrop on the regulars at this unapologetically greasy spoon, where the dinnerware's made of plastic, the jukebox is filled with Meat Loaf and Johnny Cash, and the menu contains exactly one item that costs more than $7 (that'd be the twelve-ounce T-bone with fries or two eggs for $10.95). While downing a breakfast platter (served anytime), hot cakes (no, not pancakes), country-fried steak, a piece of pie or a tuna melt, listen in as the locals go off about politics, game shows or the exorbitant price of a pair of work boots. Best of all, the show goes on 24/7.
