Sauce 75: the essential St. Louis restaurants right now

This date night spot in Lafayette Square offers desserts aplenty, including brownies, cakes, tarts and ice cream splits and sundaes. Order the Lovers’ Plate for a sampler of some of the highlights of the sweet-centric menu. However, don’t be misled by the name – there are also savory options including flatbreads and cheese plates for snacking. Sip on their signature martinis and seasonal cocktails like Strawberry Kisses (strawberry ice cream, dark chocolate liqueur and Irish cream). There’s also a tight list of beer, wine and spirits.

The Sauce 75 is a photomosaic of the best in St. Louis dining in 2024. This list is a celebration of the diverse skills, techniques and culinary traditions that meet across our region.

(Seventy-five is a lot fewer than you think!) Restaurants are constantly growing and evolving and go through ups and downs. Newly opened restaurants can take time to find their feet: There are a few exciting new places we’re cheering for, but which we feel haven’t yet fully hit their stride. Read the entire list here.
