Massa’s in Kirkwood has that great St. Louis Italian you crave at odd times. The food is all good, and the prices are reasonable, but what is truly memorable is the outdoor patio and location. First of all Kirkwood has one the cutest little downtowns in St. Louis with all the shops and restaurants, and now we can gaze at all that while enjoying the breeze and eating yummy Italian. And it’s open late, too! But if you decide to go on the weekend, be prepared to wait, because it’s going to be crazy busy.

Café Provencal in Kirkwood has some of the best French food in St. Louis. They serve simple yet amazing lunches and dinners but beware they are closed from 2-5 for cleaning, baking, resetting, etc. Cute right? Plus they are open late every day of the week instead of just the weekends. And the bread they serve before the meals is incredible. Everyone nowadays offers rolls or breadsticks, but this is crusty, salty, delicious French bread served warm. And they have an extensive, affordable wine list to go with that tasty bread too. Take advantage of a little France in St. Louis and check out Café Provencal in Kirkwood.
