We love to go out to eat, but we're so reluctant because of all the junk out there. We'd like to be able to find a healthy place to grab a bite to eat in St. Louis. Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

Terrene retaurant on Sarah St in the Central West End is organic and wonderul. Great food, but quite pricey (special occasion-ish). The best is to eat outside on their patio in nice weather -- it is just lovely. Inside is not as fun but the food is great.

Oh, this is great! We looked up their menu online and it looks YUMMY!

: Thanks kbl!

Also Niche, south of downtown. Also pricey but gorgeous, incredible food and worth every cent, if you can swing it.

OR smoothies in Clayton is good for something that you can grab and go. There are a couple tables inside. Their veggie meatball sub is soo good. It's nothing like a regular mb sub. It's like an asian version. I think that most things there are organic.

Check out Local Harvest in south city near Tower Grove park. I'm not sure if they do dinner, but it's an awesome place for breakfast/lunch.

I second Local Harvest (and check out the grocery store)! Also, we love Schlafly's BottleWorks in Maplewood--Local/seasonal ingredients, kitchen garden out back, Microbrew beer, and super kid-friendly!
Riddles Penultimate Cafe in the loop has always used local, seasonal foods and has a fabulous wine list!
Ok, that's it for now. If I think of others I'll send them your way. We love local restaurants with locally grown food, so we're always hunting them down to give them a try!

our favorite and semi-cheap, is hitting the hot bar and deli at Whole Foods. They have tables and a microwave to heat stuff up as well.

Can anyone give me more specific direction address to this Riddles and Local Harvest? we are heading up that way in a few weeks - we visit fairly often but would like to have an actual addresss so I don't get us lost!

Local Harvest is on Morganford just a block or two from Arsenal where it runs along Tower Grove Park. Here's their site:

I know this is really delayed... I was just scanning all of the St.L posts since I just joined today and thought I'd throw in another restaurant. SweetArt Bakery and Cafe on 39th street in Shaw neighborhood is darling. They are a totally vegetarian restaurant with a wide variety of vegan food as well. The owners are a married couple... he's an artist, she's a baker and she makes DELICIOUS baked goods with almost exclusively organic and local foods. He displays and sells his art in the restaurant space. Soooo yummy and fun and low key and cheap. Beware, though... they are closed Sunday and Monday!
