Sunday drives with my father to pick up from Golden Fried Chicken Loaf on Delmar. Family birthdays at Ruggeri’s on The Hill, ordering turtle soup and veal parmigiana. Sharing a Cleopatra with my high school sweetheart at Cyrano’s on Clayton Road.

Restaurants are about favorite dishes, special hideaways, precious time with family and friends. We've lost countless St. Louis restaurants once special to us. Lost Tables collects the culinary memories of these eating places — from their first course to their last.

The companion Lost Dishes website preserves recipes for the special dishes served at these iconic St. Louis restaurants.


Articles are arranged newest to oldest. An alphabetical listing of the Lost Tables chronicled can be found in our Restaurant Index.
