Some of Adam and Melanie’s Favorites
Here are just a few of one or both of our favorite places
We know the owner, Rachel. The atmosphere inside is romantic. You can see the cooks prepare your meal in the open kitchen and gawk at the enormous wine wall!
You can also sit outside for a more relaxed environment.
She has our favorite moscato imported from Italy.

You’ve heard of “Panera,” well erase it from your memory while you’re here.
In St. Louis, the famous bread shop is called St. Louis Bread Company or just “Bread Co.”
Order all your (Panera🙄) favorites!…and ask for a bagel “bread sliced.”
You can actually see the world headquarters off of Watson Road.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. It’s about 5 minutes from our building.
Full disclosure- it’s always hopping…always! The scene is out on the double decker patio. If you want to eat outside, expect a 20-30 minute wait.
Also, there are absolutely no substitutions to the menu! I’ve tried several times :/

Taste American food the St. Louis way! Taste St. Louis favorites like StL style pizza, toasted ravioli, or be really daring and eat shark!
The patio is nice but if it’s chilly or rainy, it’ll be closed.

St. Louis is in a weird space with COVID right now. Most attractions that normally wouldn’t require a reservation currently do. But don’t worry. I have a thorough guidebook in the rental with a long list of attractions with their numbers and websites.

Don’t forget masks
Missouri is in a weird place as far as mask requirements many places in St. Louis have their own mask requirements. Bring several so that you can change them. Carry them with you so that you are prepared.
