The best French food in St. Louis, according to the experts: Eater, St. Louis Magazine, and the James Beard Awards have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Brasserie by Niche comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Saint Louis.

Rank 1. Brasserie by Niche
Bistro
A French bistro in the Central West End from Gerard Craft, the team behind it has been drawing a loyal crowd since the place opened. The room buzzes reliably, and for good reason: gougères that arrive impossibly light, escargot loud with garlic, a slow-cooked cassoulet that lands like a wool blanket in the best sense. Skip dessert at your peril, especially the floating island drifting across its pool of crème anglaise.
