Audubon’s Restaurant  The Unequivocal Center of Downtown Ste. Geneviève Nestled in the heart of downtown Ste. Genevieve at 9 North Main Street, Audubon’s occupies a century-old building that has anchored the town’s social scene since 1901. Originally the historically famous Palace Bar starting in 1903, the restaurant reopened under current ownership in 2015 with a mission to reflect the cultural identity and history of Ste. Genevieve through scratch-made cuisine. The menu celebrates the town’s diverse heritage—French, Cajun, German, and Italian dishes crafted with locally sourced ingredients. One satisfied guest summed it up: “We ended our wine tasting day with dinner at the Audubon. We had the Schnitzel, Cajun Shrimp and mushroom burger. All were wonderful! Staff is great! Facility is clean.” Where the Past Meets the Present Audubon’s philosophy centers on giving visitors a chance to taste the history and diversity of Ste. Genevieve’s community while offering locals an opportunity to taste a bit of their own heritage. The scratch-made menu balances upscale dining with comfort food familiarity—German schnitzel and spaetzle sit alongside Cajun pasta, French onion soup, Italian fettuccine, and American classics like burgers and brick oven pizza. Signature dishes draw consistent praise. The pork schnitzel comes “bigger than Read more…

Charleville Brewery & Winery  Uncork and Unplug at this Regional Tourism Icon Perched high above Saline Creek Valley in western Ste. Genevieve County, Charleville Brewery & Winery delivers what one guest called “one of the best views in all of Missouri” alongside distinctive handcrafted wines and beers. Since opening in June 2003 as a retirement project, then expanding with a $5 million renovation under new ownership in 2023, Charleville has evolved into a 10,000-square-foot destination featuring an innovative 24-tap iPourIt self-serve wall, elevated food menu, fire pit patios, and an 1860s log cabin lodge for overnight stays. The wristband-activated pour system lets you sample as much or as little as you want while the Saline Creek Valley panorama unfolds below. As one visitor raved: “Upon entering, you are given a magic bracelet that you can swipe on their ‘ipourit’ wall. You just swipe and drink. It bills you based upon how much you pour. Aaron walked us through the process perfectly. Absolutely amazing…This is probably the best food I’ve ever had at a winery. This is not a basic cheeseboard. This is coconut shrimp, fantastic pizza, & ahi tuna nachos.” iPourIt Wall: Beer, Wine, and Charle-Ritas on Tap The 24-tap Read more…

Oliver’s Restaurant – Where Handmade Pasta Meets Hometown Heart Tucked away in the heart of historic Ste. Genevieve, Oliver’s Restaurant has quietly become something of a pilgrimage site for those who understand that truly great pasta isn’t mass-produced or pulled from a box—it’s crafted by hand, with patience, skill, and an uncompromising dedication to quality. This cozy little spot may not announce itself with flashy signage or pretentious ambiance, but what it lacks in size and fanfare, it more than makes up for in flavor, creativity, and genuine passion for the craft of pasta-making. A Passion for Pasta: The Foundation of Everything At Oliver’s, every dish starts with one thing: a passion for pasta. Not the dried stuff that sits on grocery store shelves for months, but real, honest-to-goodness fresh pasta made the old-fashioned way—by hand, every single morning. Before the restaurant opens, before the first customer walks through the door, the team at Oliver’s is already hard at work rolling, cutting, and shaping pasta dough. This isn’t a show put on for diners or a gimmick to justify higher prices. It’s simply how they believe pasta should be made—with hands, with time, with attention to texture and consistency. The Read more…
