Winslow’s Home

January 2015 248Winslow’s Home is a unique restaurant dedicated to providing fresh and local foods. How fresh is it? A lot of the produce comes straight from their own garden, into the kitchen, and on to our plates.  It’s a great sit down restaurant, but they also sell a range of other items from baked goods to cool home decor.

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.

Prasino

 

prasinoKnowing about our love for natural foods, a friend of ours introduced us to Prasinos after a positive dining experience there with her family.  It was my last weekend home for the summer and we decided to stop there for lunch on our last girls day together.  We spent time exploring downtown St. Charles and enjoyed a wonderful lunch.
