St. Louis, which began experiencing an influx of immigrants from Europe in the mid-1800s, offers a variety of fine ethnic fare, including some of the best traditional Italian cuisine on this side of the Atlantic. While St. Louis may not be as widely known for its restaurants as some other American cities, it contains a wealth of good eating options—from elegant to casual—for the hungry traveler to discover.

While exciting dining experiences can be found throughout both the city and the surrounding 12-county metro area, some of St. Louis' colorful ethnic neighborhoods serve as excellent starting points to please the palate.

The Hill

The neighborhood known as "The Hill" is the place where baseball legend Joe Garagiola grew up (right down the street from Yogi Berra), and it is still largely populated by descendants of the Italian immigrants who began settling in St. Louis in 1857. The lawns are well manicured, the community is close knit and the food is world class. Cruise through this area in the southwest quadrant of St. Louis and you'll find fine formal dining and mom-and-pop eateries with red-checkered tablecloths. St. Louisans celebrate special occasions with the elegant Northern Italian cuisine at Dominic's. Crowds flock to Gian-Peppe's for arguably the most delicious Marsala sauce in town. LoRusso's Cucina regales diners with seafood pasta specialties, while patrons often wait one or two hours for dinner at Cunetto House of Pasta.

German Cuisine

When Germans immigrants came to St. Louis, they brought with them Wiener schnitzel and generations of experience brewing beer. Before there was Budweiser, John Lemp, a German immigrant, began aging lager in the natural caves beneath the city in 1838. His fortune built the reportedly haunted Lemp Mansion Mystery Dinner Theatre. Now an inn and restaurant, you can book a reservation here on the weekend for one of the mansion's celebrated mystery dinners.

For a taste of outstanding German cuisine and Old World charm, St. Louisans head to Bevo Mill, a local landmark. You can't miss it: just look for the turn-of-the-century Dutch windmill that adorns the facade. Schneithorst's, a St. Louis mainstay, offers traditional German favorites ranging from saurbraten to potato pancakes, and also serves up dozens of specialty beers on tap.

Downtown

Downtown St. Louis offers an exciting and eclectic mix of dining choices. If you're in the mood for French fare, head for the elegant, yet comfortable ambience of Cafe de France. This is the kind of place you'd expect to see more of in a city named after a French king. Faust's serves inventively prepared wild boar and venison as well as a fabulous Sunday brunch. For a breathtaking view of downtown St. Louis you can't beat Harry's Restaurant & Bar, a favorite stop for business professionals. Lynch Street Bistro is contemporary chic, serving creative dishes with an international flair, running the gamut from Thai to Italian.

Local Food Landmarks

St. Louis may make you think of baseball, the World's Fair and westward-bound adventurers. If that is the case, be especially sure you don't miss some of the local food landmarks. Crown Candy Kitchen, in business since 1913, is an old-fashioned soda fountain, complete with chili dogs and shakes so thick you could eat them with a spoon. Some St. Louisans say they won't go anywhere except Citizen Kane's for a steak, while Blueberry Hill, where native son Chuck Berry still performs his rock and roll standards on occasion, is a hot spot for burgers, beer and live music.

Mid-County

Like many American cities, St. Louis has experienced the process of suburban sprawl over the years. The metro St. Louis area now encompasses 12 counties and even crosses the Mississippi River into Illinois. Some of these municipalities radiating from St. Louis proper, such as Edwardsville, Illinois, for example, are virtual boomtowns. Restaurants and other businesses have followed this town's burgeoning population, so there are many exciting dining experiences to be had in the outlying areas to the east, west, north and what is locally referred to as "Mid-County."

West County

The west county area offers fine dining in a variety of ethnic styles. About a 50-minute drive from downtown St. Louis is the town of St. Albans, where diners can find themselves transported to the south of France via Malmaison. The terraced gardens and cottage charm immediately set the stage for a fine country French dining experience. A little closer to St. Louis, Zhivago's in Ballwin offers fine Russian fare in an elegant setting, plus an impressive 15 varieties of vodka.

Just west of the city, Annie Gunn's greets diners with its upscale Irish pub atmosphere. Move from the west to the outlying areas just east of St. Louis and you'll find yourself across the Illinois State line. Here you can venture to Freeburg, Illinois for turn-of the-century dining elegance at the Westerfield House Restaurant and Inn. Or, you can drive to Edwardsville, Illinois and dine at Neruda, which offers contemporary cuisine with Asian and Southwestern influences.

Clayton

In the mid-county town of Clayton, which essentially bleeds over into St. Louis, you can make business deals at the fresh, upscale Cardwell's or sidle up to the salsa bar at Zuzu's Handmade Mexican Restaurant and enjoy some genuine south-of-the-border dining. If you are a garlic lover, on the other hand, try Saleem's, a Lebanese eatery in nearby University City.

North of St. Louis

Just north of the St. Louis city limits, you can visit Ruiz's Mexican Restaurant in Florrissant, Missouri for authentic fare served by the Ruiz family's third generation. Drive to the 94th Aero Squadron in nearby Berkeley for a trip back in time to the World War II era and a grandstand view of the Lambert Airport runways, which is especially dramatic at night.

If you're not ready to call it a night after dinner, head to Laclede's Landing Wax, where the hottest nightspots are clustered, and have yourself a drink. For a more traditional pub atmosphere, try John D. McGurk's Irish Pub, where a wide selection of beer is on tap and occasional Irish music is featured.

"Fun and casual" is the name of the game in this American restaurant. Owners Thom and Jane Sehnert are friendly and well-known in the St. Louis community and culinary scene. Annie's serves great food, but that is somewhat offset by the cramped dining area and the lengthy wait. This restaurant is known for its steaks, but it also serves smoked meats, pork, fish, ribs, burgers and more. Outdoor dining is available.

Opened in 1913 by Grecian immigrants Harry Karandzieff and Pete Jugaloff, Crown remains much the same in decor and style. It is currently run by Harry's descendants. Great confections, ice cream, a variety of sandwiches, milkshakes, malts, sundaes and banana splits make this a sweet-tooth's paradise. If you are adventurous, try the malt contest, wherein if you can drink five malts in half an hour, you get them all for free. The service is good, but things can get busy and a bit hectic.

Considered by many to be the best Italian restaurant on The Hill, this restaurant inspires elegance and good taste. Gentlemen will want to wear a suit and tie, and ladies should make it a point to dress up for the occasion, too. Italian landscape oil paintings and romantic chandelier lighting perfectly complement the tasteful ambiance. Veal and fettuccine dishes are hearty favorites, but do not overlook the seafood and halibut selections. The wine list is among the top in St. Louis and features many Italian vintages. Cappuccinos and espressos perfectly complete every meal.

This charming, out-of-the-way country inn is about an hour's drive from the city in the west end of the county, but it is worth every minute.

Dine beside a stone fireplace and enjoy the quaint country French atmosphere, efficient service and excellent wine selection. Save room for dessert; the showstopper is the St. Almond Basket, a decadent confection. The service is excellent and the staff is accustomed to diners making an evening of their meals.

Vegetarian entrees include sauteed eggplant and hummus, while meat dishes include traditional Middle Eastern ingredients such as lamb and chicken along with beef, all served on a bed of seasoned rice.

You will find Russian fare with Asian and Mediterranean influences on the menu. Appetizers, or zakuski, come in ample portions that some would call a meal in itself.

This is a popular lunch site because it is a place where you can get real Mexican food very quickly. The grilled chicken fajitas are flavored and marinated and brought to the table sizzling. The quesadillas are another house favorite. Tortilla chips are free with meals, and you can choose your favorite salsa from a fully loaded salsa bar. Entrees are a great value, as they come with two side items and the portions are always ample. If you are not in the mood for a margarita, try the peach and mango-flavored iced teas.
