New St. Louis Food And Drink Spots That Opened in 2022 [PHOTOS]

Wow, 2022 is almost over. While the year went by in a blink, plenty happened, especially in the city's bustling restaurant scene. Here is a round up of the new food and drink places that we covered that opened in 2022. Some places added locations (Hi-Pointe, Honey Bees) and others changed ownership (Bistro La Floraison).  Other spots just opened, but we can't imagine how we lived without them (Clara B's, Sugarwitch, STL Toasted). After a tough year for the restaurant industry, it's clear that it's still as vibrant as ever.
