The Hot Pot

Hot Pot outside After running some errands including a nice stop at the Creve Coeur Farmer’s Market, we had some time to kill, so we thought what better thing to do than try out another local restaurant! We discovered Hot Pot in an online search to find good quality restaurants around us. Their restaurant believes in whole foods and follows the Paleo diet, which is one that I have tried to follow in the past. Their menu is designed for you to make your own dishes with the foods that you love, using fresh and local ingredients. (Miriam)

YaYa’s Euro Bistro

We have been meaning to go to YaYa’s for months now because we have heard so many raving reviews about their delicious and high quality food. My dad was out of town for the week so we took advantage of having a night with just the two of us. We enjoyed our relaxing date night out and got to spend time chatting with the manager and learning all about the restaurant and their mission. (Miriam)

Seedz Cafe

Hannah came into town for her fall break last week and we planned another girls day for the three of us. We went to Grant’s Farm in the morning and had so much fun feeding the goats and camels. By the time we were done looking at all the animals we were starving, so not having anywhere to eat we turned to Google. Seedz Cafe was the first restaurant that popped up when we searched for organic restaurants so we thought we would try it out. It turned out to be an adorable little organic and vegan cafe style restaurant that had the highest quality food we have found so far. This one was a definite winner and we can’t wait to go back!

Crushed Red

photo 1 (2) A friend of mine suggested this restaurant when my husband and I joined them for dinner one night before a musical. She knew I liked organic food and thought I would enjoy it. She hit the target with her suggestion. My husband and I enjoyed the food and the prices. My husband is always “in a hurry,” so he loved the fast food nature of the restaurant. This is great food to go or when in a hurry, as well as when you want to linger and enjoy good quality food with family or friends. I have since been here a couple of times with my “girl” team, Hannah and Miriam and have enjoyed their quick, fresh food.

Prasino

It was my last weekend home for the summer and we decided to stop there for lunch on our last girls day together. We spent time exploring downtown St. Charles and enjoyed a wonderful lunch.
