Arch Eats St. Louis Magazine

Springtime is in full tilt in St. Louis, which means it's finally patio season. St. Louis has so many great patios that it warranted two episodes. In Part 1, George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr talk about the gold standard of outdoor dining, discussing St. Louis' most iconic spots, notable rooftops, and newer restaurants with great patios. In the next episode, dropping May 29, they'll dive even deeper into the alfresco dining scene. Listen and follow Arch Eats on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever podcasts are available.

This episode is sponsored by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and supported by Westport Plaza. Opera season is back! Sample the flavors of Seville, the unforgettable taste of Paris at Christmas, and the grandeur of the Roman Renaissance, all brought to life on stage at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis' 2024 Festival Season.
