Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It’s always nice to venture off campus to find a more exotic, romantic, or classy atmosphere for dining. Fortunately, St. Louis offers a wide variety of cuisine, from Thai and Vietnamese, to Jamaican, Brazilian, and German. A number of fine restaurants lie within walking distance of the campus, especially in Clayton (Portabella, Crazy Fish, Miso, and Il Vicino are some student favorites); the University City Loop is popular, as well. More exotic cuisine usually requires a car trip, however. For example, the fabulous India’s Rasoi, which is located in the Central West End, or Yemanja Brasil, nestled deep in mid-town St. Louis on Pestalozzi, are both must-eats, but are not within walking-distance. Affordable, quick meals are certainly available in the nearby Loop area. Everyone who discovers the Middle Eastern flavors of Cunetto’s Gyro House and Al Tarboush becomes a regular customer. And Brandt’s and Addi’s offer more refined dining, for a date or for dinner with visiting relatives, all just a few blocks from campus. In all, with some looking, diners will find that almost every range of price, flavor, and atmosphere imaginable exists among St. Louis restaurants.

Delicious but Can Be Pricey

The restaurants surrounding Wash U. are almost all (at least the ones I've been to) very good, but unfortunately can tend to be on the more expensive side, which is difficult for us poor college students. However, usually the yummy food makes up for the fact that you will be continually broke if you go out to eat.

Endless Options

The Loop, The Central West End, and Downtown Clayton all have an endless variety of restaurants that students love to go to. My personal favorite place is the The Central West End as the entire downtown area is really cute and they have great food, especially sushi.

The Delmar Loop

About three blocks north of Wash U's campus is a 2 mile stretch known as the Delmar Loop that is a great hot spot for restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Most of the restaurants are very reasonably priced and some even take student campus card points.

Did You Know?

The Anheuser-Busch brewing company (maker of Budweiser, Busch, and Bud Light), which is based in St. Louis, offers daily tours of its historic brewery, complete with beer tasting, for visitors 21-and-over. Anheuser-Busch is also a proud sponsor of Wash U, and the main law school building is named Anheuser-Busch Hall. Let's just hope that these future attorneys don't drink on the job.
