Creve Coeur Restaurants

Creve Coeur is a chic St. Louis suburb where visitors can have a relaxed dinner just outside of the big city. The town specializes in steak and seafood grills, with build-your-own burgers and paired beer listings. There are also many smokehouses with St. Louis-style barbecue, a local favorite that has been recognized nationwide. In fact, the tomato-based sauce popular in the area was ranked among the best barbecues in the U.S. These barbecue restaurants don't just smoke beef and pork but turkey and chicken, too, giving their menus a wider range of flavors. Visitors can also sample some of the city's French cuisine with traditional Parisian-style bistros and cafés. The city has a cultural connection to French food that dates back centuries when French fur trappers traded in the area.
