The Top 100 Places to Eat in St. Louis

255 places in the record

The best places to eat in St. Louis, by the professional record: AAA, James Beard Awards, and Bon Appétit have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Vicia comes out on top, and the record runs deepest in Saint Louis.

Balkan Treat Box and Expat BBQ hold the next two places. St. Louis Magazine shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with James Beard Awards next.
