St. Louis restaurant openings, closings, and coming soons

The "ins, outs, and almosts" in metro St. Louis for the past month.

by

The following list is accurate as of an early-August press date.

Perhaps the most significant closing in July (during a month of relatively few closings) was the loss of Pumpernickles Delicatessen, a decades-old linchpin in Creve Coeur. We're also already lamenting the loss of 20-year-old Grbic Restaurant, which will close at the end of August and transition into an events-only facility. July openings included Frankie Martin’s Garden, the area's fourth food truck park; Santa Fe Bistro, a new restaurant from the owner of Oceano Bistro; Bistro La Floraison, the newest restaurant (a.k.a. the former Bar Les Freres), from the owners of Vicia, Winslow's Table, and Taqueria Morita; a new breakfast and lunch joint in Clayton (Ivy Cafe), featuring tartines that showcase its house-made sourdough bread; and a second location of Baileys' Range, a rollicking retread of a former service station in the Shaw neighborhood.
