The 2010 Hot List: Dining

200+ things we love about St. Louis

Compiling a list of the city’s top spots to eat, drink, dance, shop and play is no easy feat. And this year, we had an endless list of buzzworthy newcomers, rediscovered classics and established spots that have stepped it up a notch to choose from. Not that we’re complaining; in fact, we’ve never been more proud of our city’s restaurants, shops, clubs, gyms and cultural institutions. If we could write St. Louis a love song, it would go a little something like this.

Dining

We love St. louis because our restaurants and chefs are all about catering to the customers. Gone are the days of ordering only what’s on the menu. Today’s restaurants are all about giving the customer exactly what they want, and in many cases, what they need. Whether it’s gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian or just plain aversion, it seems no request is too far out there for our STL spots. They’re on a mission to make you feel like you’re the only one in the dining room and offer options that silence even the pickiest palates.
