PuraVegan Cafe

If you’re one of the many yoga fanatics who enjoy a super smoothie or vegan bite after a re-energizing yoga session, you’ll LOVE PuraVegan! This place is a yoga studio with a 100% vegan and gluten free restaurant conveniently located next door. It was recommended to us multiple times by relatives, friends, and owners of other restaurants, so we were very excited to finally check it out for ourselves. Their somewhat restricted hours conflicted with our availability, making it a challenge to visit, but it was well worth the wait. Since our first visit we have been back several times to try out more of the delicious menu items, and have been very happy with their range of options. We also recently discovered that one of our relatives is a chef here and are pleased to announce that we are related to the genius behind some of their wonderful dishes!

Overall rating ★★★★

Good food, nice atmosphere, good service- it’s no surprise we recommend this place. What other vegan restaurant owns its own yoga studio?

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)

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!
