The Business Travel Guide to St. Louis

Historic St. Louis is the “Gateway to the West,” known for its pioneering spirit, great dining, and lively entertainment. If you find yourself in St. Louis on business travel, take some time to explore this beautiful midwestern city.

St. Louis Restaurants

You haven’t properly experienced St. Louis without a trip to a smokehouse for a dish of the city’s famous barbecue. But if seasoned and sauced meat isn’t your style, St. Louis has plenty of culinary experiences to keep you well fed. Check out these St. Louis restaurants to keep your tastebuds happy.

Pappy’s Smokehouse

This Memphis-style barbecue smokehouse smokes their famous meat for up to 14 hours and offers a selection of homemade sauces to slather on top. They are only open until they sell out each day; get there early so you don’t miss out.

Roberto’s Trattoria & Chophouse

Roberto’s serves hearty Italian dishes and elegant steak plates from their location in southern St. Louis. Make reservations ahead of time, and bring a big appetite.

If you’re looking for a taste of Cajun and Creole dishes come to Broadway Oyster Bar. An institution in St. Louis for over 35 years, you can’t go wrong at this lively restaurant and live music venue.
