Kirstjen Lorenz: Carnitas hash was excellent. The eggs were poached to perfection. Excellent service. Best OJ ever!
Michael Morgan: One of the best breakfast places I have ever ate at! The owner was super friendly. He introduced himself to us and repeatedly asked if we enjoyed our meals, which we did! Fresh squeezed oj is perfect
Emily Lu: EL CERDO HASH!! This place is a gem - the owner is the sweetest man alive and the food was so incredibly flavorful and filling. If you like texmex, you MUST stop here!
3. Sanctuaria

4198 Manchester Ave, St Louis, MO
New American Restaurant · Forest Park Southeast · 68 tips and reviews
Go! Magazine: Top cocktails of 2010: Try the Wascally Wabbit, made with North Shore Aquavit, fresh carrot juice, Yellow Chartreuse and St. Germain Elderflower liqueur. (Evan S. Benn)
Mel: Highly recommend the CALMER THAN YOU ARE cocktail. (Apple Juice, Don Q Gran Anejo Rum, Hot Water, Cinnamon Syrup, Lime Juice, Fresh Rosemary)
Riverfront Times: 150 different drinks aren't the only reason to come to Sanctuaria. Try the plump camarónes, which are simmered in a thick, garlicky, peppery tomato sauce. Delicious! http://bit.ly/19dbsdM

French Restaurant · Central West End · 62 tips and reviews
Katie Charlton: Orange juice was amazing! Beignets were ok, french toast burnt on top piece but bottom piece was perfect!
Riverfront Times: Try the meltingly tender beef short ribs or a simple piece of salmon paired with braised leeks and lentils, and profiteroles and crème brûlée for dessert. http://bit.ly/12WqmoP

Breakfast Spot · Tower Grove East · 49 tips and reviews
Riverfront Times: Rooster's brunch cocktails might just be the perfect cure for Sunday hangovers, as they are made with fresh juice and packed with antioxidants and electrolytes. Read more.
Emily: Brunch has a good variety. Crepes, both sweet and savory, are super yummy. Traditional breakfast fare is available too.
Kassandra Hayes: Bloody Marys and crepes are my new favorite brunch.
6. Brennan's
8.5
4659 Maryland Ave (at Euclid Ave), St Louis, MO
Whisky Bar · Central West End · 19 tips and reviews
Riverfront Times: Try the "Blood and Sand," a classic, simple, no frills drink. The Highland Park 12 is a great Scotch base, mixed with vermouth cherry heering and orange juice for a even finish.http://bit.ly/1bEySPD
Cindy Crook: Great space for drinks with a small group of friends or a date. Love the atmosphere!
Jay Byrne: Visit the scotch and fine congnacs cellar with a cigar! Tell Kevin (Brennan) to give you a good story about one of his recent debate nights on topics of no consequence whatsoever. The best. Read more.
Alix Schweitzer: Best Middle Eastern food I've had outside of the Middle East. The juice is fresh-squeezed and it's amazing. Try orange apple carrot. I ordered an incredible spicy veg dish with potatoes and rice.
Riverfront Times: The meat shawarma - beef and lamb slowly roasted on a vertical spit - might be the best in town as tender as braised beef, its rich, pot roast-like flavor kept lively on the palate by lamb's gaminess. Read more.
Go! Magazine: Fries Taste Test: The sumac-kissed spices on the Vine's fries were pleasant, but the spuds tasted like they’d been bagged and frozen. We'd return for the falafel — not the fries. Read more.

3322 Demenil Pl, St Louis, MO
Bed and Breakfast · Benton Park · 31 tips and reviews
Chelsey Wheeler: Great hotel, very beautiful and the rooms are spectacular. However, they aren't really a bed and breakfast. "Breakfast" consists of a muffin and a bottle of orange juice in your room. Not impressed.
Mark Derr: Sunday Brunch Family Style meal is well worth every penny
Nathan Gardner: For maximum creepiness check out the third floor late night without lights on!
