Local Harvest Cafe

008We finally made it back to Local Harvest Cafe, located near Tower Grove Park. We combined our trip with a visit to their famous outdoor Farmer’s Market and a bike ride through Forest Park! We had been here once before with and were quite impressed with the quality of the food, but the service was quite slow. Going back, the service could not have been more prompt and the food was just as delicious as we remembered it to be! We visited Saturday for brunch, but were advised that Sundays can be a bit more crowded. We were also advised by our knowledgeable and delightful waitress that the restaurant experienced major ownership changes a couple of years ago, which could have explained the change in service.

Miriam and I visited this local eatery on a Sunday AM when we were in the Webster Groves area. This restaurant focuses on local ingredients and seems to do a lot for the community in terms of fund raisers and their community involvement.  If in the area, we would recommend this restaurant because of these good practice attempts, along with the tasty food.

Cafe Osage

060We tried this urban Saint Louis Restaurant on a Sunday for a late brunch, enjoying eggs served baked and over hard. Their use of local, farm raised chicken eggs and produce was impressive. We enjoyed getting a glimpse of one of their farms and green houses across from the restaurant, as well as viewing their garden supplies, produce and plants in their adjacent store. It was a restaurant we had long wanted to check out so enjoyed the adventure of trying a place clearly devoted to growing and using their own local produce.
