Milque Toast

I visited Milque Toast on a Saturday morning at about eight o’clock and found myself quite alone in a dining room that was bright, polished, and faintly reverential in its quiet. Other reviewers have remarked on the building itself, and rightly so: a carefully restored older St. Louis structure, lending the place a sense of seriousness and intention before one has even opened the menu. I was greeted promptly and kindly by my waitress, whose warm kindness never wavered. The menu, however, was notably smaller than the one described on their website, which speaks of a globally inspired approach using thoughtful, local ingredients. What was offered that morning leaned more restrained than expansive, though not without merit. I ordered the eggs en cocotte with a side of bacon and an espresso

In the old California Donuts building on S. Jefferson...I feel like I found the Golden Ticket friends! From the Currier & Ives place settings to the masterfully crafted and always evolving menu, this is truly THE SPOT! Full disclosure, the owner, Colleen, and I started working together in the biz 20+ years ago and I consider her a close friend, but anyone who knows me also knows that I don't sugar coat. If the experience wasn't absolutely as wonderful as it was, y'all would know. I've been here twice now - the first visit was for an 18th bday brunch for my daughter and was not documented, but nonetheless spectacular, even in the company of three 18-20yr olds😉. The pic included here is from a private dinner last weekend and I haven't stopped talking about it since the first bite. Mixed gree

Food is excellent and unique. I had the BEC. The building is historic and they embrace it's history. Will definitely be back to try other items!

Not the best experience trying this place for the first time. I'd like to try it another time to see how it is. The guys working were really nice, just not very attentive. Several people came in and it took a while for them to be acknowledged. My friend cappuccino wasn't very hot and had a lot of caramel syrup in it, to the point it wasn't enjoyable to drink. We shared the milque toast and the steak and eggs. Over all wasn't the best flavor or worth the price especially the steak and eggs. One of the eggs was barely cooked and had a lot of the clear liquid still not cooked to white and very very runny so it was a bit concerning for health reasons. And the steak was really hard to chew/bite/eat. The chips were really good! We also asked for a side of toast right after getting our food and i

I was very excited to see this building brought back to life after moving here from nearby up Jefferson. We finally made it here for brunch this past weekend. The food was great! Really. French inspired dishes. Everything has nice flavors and good presentation. I like the variety it brings compared to the average regular place. Service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is a bit drab and the chairs are supremely uncomfortable. We'd definitely recommend trying this place.
