Cafe Osage

We tried this urban Saint Louis Restaurant on a Sunday for a late brunch, enjoying eggs served baked and over hard. Their use of local, farm raised chicken eggs and produce was impressive. We enjoyed getting a glimpse of one of their farms and green houses across from the restaurant, as well as viewing their garden supplies, produce and plants in their adjacent store. It was a restaurant we had long wanted to check out so enjoyed the adventure of trying a place clearly devoted to growing and using their own local produce.

015

I had an unexpected day off school, so we ventured to Maplewood to finally explore this restaurant which we had read about. It’s a bummer that most of the restaurants on our list of places to try are so far away, but this one was a little big closer than some of the others. What a great discovery for us! This establishment is really trying to obtain the finest ingredients and their menu was fantastic. This is without a doubt, one of our new favorites! (which we say after basically every restaurant we eat at, but we mean it this time!) (Miriam)

OR Juice and Smoothie

Or Juice and Smoothie is a great place to stop for an organic juice or smoothie, or quick high quality salad or snack. The majority of ingredients are organic and the owners seem to be aware of health foods, carrying several high quality supplements and food supplies in their store.

Frida’s Deli

We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. This local eatery has recently expanded to provide some nice seating for guests. Their first expansion was in December 2013 and their 2nd was this past summer, 2014. The place was bustling, and the food was quite good. This is an all vegetarian restaurant and they had several gluten free and vegan items which we were thrilled about. This restaurant was definitely another winner and we will be back again!
