Niche
1831 Sidney St.
St. Louis, MO 63104
The most consistently exciting and satisfying restaurant in St. Louis, Niche offers a cosmopolitan haute cuisine experience without the big-city pretense — or price tag. The space is beautiful and the Benton Park location ideal, but the focus here is the food. Executive chef Gerard Craft and his talented staff serve dishes both trendy (pork belly, ahi tuna crudo) and familiar (short ribs, butternut squash soup), but the common thread is attention to detail and reverence for flavor. The can’t-miss dish is the pork belly — you may know it as uncured bacon — braised overnight for ten hours; the creamy fat acts as an indulgent sauce for the richly flavored meat. Speaking of indulgent: Pastry chef Matthew Rice’s desserts are divine.
