Creve Coeur Park and Wine


One of my favorite places in the St. Louis area to drink wine is at Creve Coeur Park. Creve Coeur Park is best know for rowing, sail boats, boat competitions, wind surfing, soccer, etc, however there is a great little restaurant called The Lakehouse right off Creve Couer mill road.

It is a cute little restaurant that has live bands on the weekends, outdoor terrace, fire pits, and really good food and wine. They have a small kitchen area, so be prepared to wait longer than normal places. They are always busier on the weekends and on really nice days.

Our typical trip to Creve Coeur park starts with us parking in the main parking lot (next to the snow cone stand) then walking, biking, running (okay I don't run, but other people do) to the restaurant. Out of the parking lot you will go West (right) towards Creve Coeur Mill road, follow it to you hit the restaurant. I would suggest having the artichoke stuffed mushrooms, they are awesome and pair well with one of my favorite all times wines, Marco Negri's Moscato D'Asti. It is a nice sparkling wine that I have never found anyone who has not enjoyed it. Even if you are not a white wine drinker I bet you will love it.

After the meal, we usually continue to walk around the rest of the park to work off all the food and wine we just drank. So the next beautiful day outside you are looking for something to do, try out the wonderful restaurant in Creve Coeur park. Click here to see more pictures of Creve Coeur Park
