Brasserie by Niche in St. Louis - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went here with a friend and had a fabulous time! They actually got us in an hour early before our reservation started, which was great!! The waitress we had was outstanding. She provided the help and assistance to know what to order to make our time even better! The drinks and food were phenomenal!! It is slightly on the more expensive side, but I find this restaurant to be worth it! Highly recommend and already want to go back!

Good meeting spot for a date Valet parking is a nice touch for tge busy area it is located Seasonal patio seating is plentiful Staff are good at what they do and friendly Food selection is adequate on the menu and entrees (pre meal appetizers) seem a bit limited Overall the presentation and taste was quite good. Not a place to go cheap and the drinks are high end with a limited 1 hour happy hour

The service was a standout aspect of the evening. The staff was professional and friendly, striking the right balance between attentive and unobtrusive. The meal started with the escargot, which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by good bread—crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, ideal for soaking up the flavorful garlic butter. Next up were the gougères, which were a true delight. These little cheese puffs were light, airy, and packed with a delightful cheesy flavor. We opted for the Duck à l'Orange and a steak for the main courses. The duck was served with a beautifully balanced sauce—not too sweet. However, the initial temperature of the magret (duck breast) was rare, almost blue. Fortunately, the staff was quick to adjust the temperature to our preference. The steak was another evening highlight, cooked to perfection, tender, and juicy. We also sampled the mussels, which were quite good. We indulged in profiteroles, an assortment of cookies, and a floating island for dessert. The profiteroles were classic and satisfying, and the cookie assortment offered a nice variety. However, the floating island was a bit too sweet for my taste, which slightly overshadowed its delicate texture. It was a pleasant dining experience. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic French dining experience, especially if you enjoy classic dishes prepared with care.

The food and service were unremarkable. The escargots seemed to lack flavor, suggesting they might not be fresh, possibly frozen. The cheese platter was satisfactory, but for the price, I expected either a larger quantity or higher quality, except for the Brie which was quite good. The setting, however, was delightful: a street musician played gentle tunes across the street, adding charm without overwhelming noise, and the patio was nicely lit, complementing the perfect weather, although there was no cover for rain or strong sun. As a side note, being French, I admit my standards might be a bit higher than average.

One of the best brunches in STL, the exterior area is superb in nice weather days.

Very good food and good service. Sitting outside was very pleasant.

Best Onion Soup in the US! Outstanding Customer service and nice ambience!! One of my top 5 from now on!!

We were given a gift certificate to Niche and having not been, I was unsure of what type of experience it would be. My mindset was a one-and-done, just here using a gift card. The atmosphere was perfect. Our server, Tea (Tee-uh) truly made the experience ever better - she's awesome - ask for her! The food - every single bite was wonderful. Highly recommend spending an evening here and will definitely go back.

Food and atmosphere is amazing. Service was great. Unfortunately they have divisive messaging on the window which did take away from the experience.

Beautiful outdoor patio with delicious food! Server was knowledgeable about ingredients and allergens.

A lovely place for Friday outing. Fair price

Great place for dining. Limited options for breakfast though. Good service and friendly staff. Nice interior and food won’t disappoint you!

So so so good. Great place for dates, treating visiting family to something St. Louis based that’s delicious, out of the ordinary, and won’t break the bank. (All Niche’s restaurants are reliable—and have great mixology!) The food & menu can feel fancy, but the vibe & waitstaff are relaxed & make guests feel comfortable. Highly recommend the beignets—my *only* negative feedback is that they ran out of them last time we went for brunch. A True Tragedy…(& good excuse to revisit!) Update: Still awesome.

Everything was absolutely delicious. The bacon on the braised beef was chef's kiss! The mouse with coffee was delicious and a perfect ending

I’ve eaten here before and wasn’t disappointed until last Saturday night. We always seem to get seated in the back, even after making reservations well in advance. What I’ve never experienced before was the poor service. Our appetizers took 45 minutes to come out, so they threw more wine at us. The mains took even longer. My mussels were TINY, and it was a main course! We did not stay for dessert…

This evening to celebrate my granddaughter’s 16th birthday. Very knowledgeably served by Mikey - re: menu, cheeses, wines, main courses. Everything was delicious. I enjoyed the mussels - soaked up all the juices with the right breads. Others had chicken, burgers, and croque madame. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time together.

Brasserie by Niche offers a delightful brunch experience in St. Louis. Sweet tooths will rejoice over the airy beignets, perfectly complemented by the tangy housemade cheese and rich plum compote. For a savory option, the quiche is a winner. Packed with roasted chicken, mushrooms, and spinach, it boasts a perfectly flaky crust. Don't miss the veggie hash, featuring a vibrant medley of seasonal vegetables and topped with perfectly poached eggs. The frisée salad is a delightful mix of textures and flavors, with crisp greens, savory bacon, and a runny poached egg tied together with a delicious bacon vinaigrette. Save room for dessert, because the chocolate mousse is a decadent finale. Rich and smooth, it's beautifully complemented by the brown sugar cocoa nib tuile for a delightful textural contrast. Overall, Brasserie by Niche offers a delicious and satisfying brunch experience.

My wife and I have been coming here since it first opened with Gerard and Adam. What is incredible is the consistency to deliver delicious dishes, a charming and warm atmosphere, and friendly, attentive service. This gem remains untouched by the ups and downs which affect most other restaurants. It’s truly remarkable how consistent and reliable Brassiere has been over the years. My most recent visit, was unexpected as I had to drop my wife off at BJC to support a friend. While I waited, I decided to take our dog to get some water and a glass of wine, dog had the water, along with a few snacks. My wife called and I needed to make a hasty departure. The staff asked if I wanted anything to go and I said I had to rush back to the hospital. They produced a bill for a penny as a courtesy because I was rushed then topped it off with two complimentary desserts. Such a simple gesture but very meaningful. The Brassiere is an absolute must and a welcomed institutional anchor to the West End.

Excellent service and food, a beautiful place for a romantic evening, overall it was expensive but worth it!

I would give it a 10 star if I could! Was in town for work and found this gem on accident, it wasn’t far from my hotel. Wasn’t too hungry so I just got a glass of wine and the cheese board. Everything was so delicious and the service was exceptional. The atmosphere was this place was also fabulous. I went back again and this time I was hungry! I got a really cute table by the window and just loved it. I got a glass of the sparking rose since I knew I was getting the flounder for dinner, it was the special on Wednesday. But to start I got the escargot. Wow! Just wow! It is the best one I have ever had so far in my life and flavor was so good, the French bread was toasted perfectly. My entree the fish was cooked to perfection, lightly pan fried in this butter sauce, paired with broccoli. Amazing! If you’re in the area don’t even think about it! Must go!! If I am in the area again I am coming here every night lol.

Enjoyed brunch here on a busy Sunday. Reservations definitely recommended! They have quite a bit of indoor and outdoor seating.

Fabulous French cuisine with a charming atmosphere. Staff was welcoming and very helpful, the food selections were sublime. Dessert came with options of many delightful hot beverages including tea (decaffeinated options available) and coffee (decaf also available). The house made ice creams are delectable, and the chocolate mousse was divine!

It was so loud we had to leave and the person singing wasn’t great. We didn’t eat. Just had a beer and left.

Brasserie is always a fun time with its great cocktail list and inviting atmosphere. Be sure to try the burger! The convenience of valet parking, which you can pay for on your phone with a card, makes getting there easy.

Service is always top notch! From checking in to being served. Everyone is polite, friendly, and courteous. The food is absolutely delicious and so are the cocktails. Everything is perfectly crafted and made with great attention given to the smallest details. They even brought champagne to our table, on the house, for being frequent customers! One of my favorite places to eat(top 3)!

My husband and I went to Brasserie to celebrate our five-year wedding anniversary, and it did not disappoint! The staff was kind and friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend the duck a l'orange, bistro steak, and macaroni & cheese. I hope to go back again soon to try more dishes and enjoy the beautiful patio!

Brasserie by Niche is still on top of my list … since it first opened in the CWE! The food, the staff/friends, the service. And they still reserve my favorite booth/table!

We were there for Father’s Day Brunch. The French Toast with lemon curd was amazing. The quiche was also delicious. The waiter was attentive. I’m going back soon!

They were extremely busy, but we received burned toast and were never offered drink refills/a second round. Server was unable to answer basic questions about the beer list. Some dishes (in addition to the toast) weren’t quite up to their usual high standard, which was disappointing when celebrating a special occasion.

The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. The service was excellent! Can't wait to return!

Lovely inside and out. friendly staff, welcoming. Enjoyed the patio seating. Mussels and chicken were hits. Save room for the chocolate mousse.

We were in St. Louis for 1 night and came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food and service were exceptional. Our server, Zach, was attentive and had several great recommendations. The entire staff was engaging, energetic and professional. well done to the whole team.

Excellent freshly prepared meal in a separate quiet cozy room adjacent main dining room . Good for partner with hearing impairment or anyone preferring low key setting or easy conversation. friendly professional staff, Good wine list and flavorful trout, vegetable, and salad. Green beans had Perfect amount of crunch, trout was open face , deboned, with lemon butter and almonds, prepared simply. Excellent bread. thoughtful approach to the meal, salad split on request and dressing substituted no problem. Kudos to chef for not overcooking the beans and not Oversaucing the fish. Felt really French.

We had a wonderful night. Our server was outstanding. The food and new menu items were terrific

First time at Brasserie- visiting St Louis- Excellent dinner , server was great - best trout almandine ever - Would happily go back!

The eggs en cocotte for brunch are great. Service is always excellent.

Waiter/service was excellent and the food was very tasty.

My perennial absolutely favorite restaurant in St Louis. A little slice of Paris in the Midwest.

We had the cheese board, trout, braised beef, chocolate mousse and floating island. Everything was excellent. Love the cocktails made by Daniel and Caleb gave us great service. Thank you for making our anniversary a special night.

The food and service were incredible! Brasserie is quickly becoming one of our favorites!

We knew going to brasserie the food was going to be amazing but the level of care shown by Alexis and Paul really made our experience memorable. Thank you!

Brasserie was a wonderful treat after a long weekend of work in St. Louis. The warm reception an hour before closing time and the restaurant’s ambiance were great. Susie, our waitress, was super, and the food was off the chain! Then there was the culinary excitement provided by one dessert in particular: key lime crème brûlée!!! It was one of the best crème brûlées I’ve ever eaten! I wanted to return for lunch on the following afternoon, but to my chagrin they were not going to be open. Next time I’m in St. Louis, I’ll definitely be back!

It was a beautiful little restaurant, with a very comfortable and refined atmosphere. The food was phenomenal and the wait staff was kind and attentive. I look forward to my next experience here!

Brunch always a sure thing, food and service exceptional!

Excellent service and delicious meal prepared and served with exquisite attention to detail. What a great team they have to giving a very special culinary experience.

We have been to this restaurant twice and both times have had exceptional service and delicious food. They have some pretty good cocktails as well, however, it’s not our favorite place for cocktails. Definitely recommend the braised beef.

Excellent presentation and Strip Steak perfectly grilled at on their Plat du jour menu. Our server, Tara was excellent, very professional and attentive. She knew it was my Birthday and gave me a scoop of ice cream that I had never heard. It was outstanding. My husband had a chocolate mousse for dessert that was the best he's ever had. Barb B.

I was in the area for work. The food was so good that a went back two nights in a row . They have a great outdoor seating area that you almost feel like you’re not in downtown St. Louis… Brasserie by Niche is a well-loved French restaurant located at 4580 Laclede Avenue in St. Louis' Central West End. This charming brasserie offers classic French bistro fare, including dishes like onion soup, housemade country pâté, and cassoulet with duck confit. They also have a delightful brunch menu that features items like eggs Benedict and French toast. The restaurant is praised for its warm, inviting atmosphere and excellent service. It's a popular spot for both casual meals and special occasions.

Greeted promptly with my reservation, sat outside on the patio. The server was hospitable, knowledgeable and timely with his service. The wine he helped us select was amazing and the food was served perfectly and tasted wonderful. Great job, we will be back!

A truly remarkable gem of a restaurant! We were greeted like old friends by Paris (yep, that's her name, working at a French restaurant!) and Paul, our server, was *wonderful.* He checked in on us regularly without being intrusive; we ordered the coq au vin at his recommendation and I think I'm going to be dreaming about it for years to come. Also, the golden beet dish?? Incredible. Granted, every bite of EVERYTHING was incredible. If you're a fan of cocktails, you will be floored by Robbie's creations. I swear, he's not "just" a bartender. He's a creative mixologist who knows how to create the most interesting, complex cocktails, and he's an absolute delight of a human to boot! Thank you, Brasserie, for giving this Francophile a transportive sense-memory of her time in France. The food, the ambiance, the staff - it was all impeccable and left a lasting impression on these Milwaukee tourists. (We were so enraptured by taste that it didn't occur to us to take photos until dessert!)

Traditional French Breakfast and the quiche made with the fabulous chicken. Fantastic!

The food quality is very good. The mussels were delicious also!

One of our favorites in St. Louis! Vegan and vegetarian options! Beautiful outdoor patio and lovely interior that transports you to a Paris bistro!

We enjoy coming here time and again. Service, food and atmosphere is amazing.

The service was good. We didn''t like the desserts. Prefer if the would stay with traditional French desserts.

Went for Mother's Day Brunch. Overall the experience was good with one notable flaw. The sweet beignets were quite tasty, but they paled in comparison to the rhubarb muffin with honey butter. I've never had one before, but it was amazing. The croque madame was really good, and the fries it comes with were delicious. The atmosphere was quite cozy, and it wasn't too loud to have nice conversation at the table. The big failing was that my wife ordered the French breakfast specifically so she could have a croissant. They ran out of croissants after she ordered, but didn't let her know, they just brought out toast instead and didn't say anything. It's understandable to run out of something, it happens, but it's quite annoying that they didn't let her know, and give her the chance to request something different to replace the croissant instead of basic toast. Based on my previous experience here I would have expected a higher level of service than that.

Full dinner served at the bar is how I like to roll. Oh! And the chocolate mousse is fantastic!!!

Brunch was lovely. The fresh squeezed orange juice was great.

Une alternative très intéressante à la cuisine américaine pour ceux qui en ont marre du poulet pané cette brasserie typé parisienne propose une excellente cuire, à recommander sans hésitation.

A great place for a great meal! Everything was superb!

Service was great! We love the beignets for a starter & always get them. We both ordered the quiche & it was delicious. Mimosas just topped it off!

Wonderful brunch as usual. Hunter did a great job for us. Thank you to Cathy for the mimosas :) Thank you to kitchen staff and runners who were working so hard on Mother’s Day!

We had a perfect dinner. We sat at a small round table next to the open doors to the patio—inside but feeling the slight breeze, the best of both. I’m not a fan of tables along a bench—I feel too close to my neighbors which is where we sat last time we were here. The food was excellent!

Great restaurant and our waitress was wonderful. Food was delicious. It did get noisy once they got busier and a little hard to hear, but other than a very enjoyable night out.

We’ve eaten at Brasserie many times before and it’s always been good, but this time was an exception mainly due to the service. After sitting down, our waitress came by and promptly gave us bread. That was the end of the good service. She then showed up about 20 minutes later to take our order, but we still still have not ordered drinks. We ordered everything at once, because we told the waitress we were on a tight schedule. The drinks arrived and she dropped by again about 15 minutes later to ask if we wanted another glass of wine. After that, we never saw her again for the rest of the meal. Our food took forever (almost another hour), and two of us had to leave before the food arrived. The manager could not have been nicer, but her waitress still never returned the entire evening to our table. However, she walked by a couple of times and never made eye contact, even before the manager took over. Very strange. The manager was very generous in not charging us for the meal as she recognized it was a very poor experience and we didn’t even eat our meal there and had to take it with us in to-go bags since we ran out of time. As we walked out, I saw the waitress and asked why she had abandoned us. She got very defensive and said that she was busy doing wine service for another table and some other ridiculous excuse, but never apologized. Unfortunately, it only takes a waitress like this to give a good restaurant a bad reputation. even before the manager took over. We may go back, but it will be a while as our dinner was ruined by this experience.

This was our second time to eat here coming here from out of town just to dine here and were not disappointed. This is one of our favorite places in the US to eat.

Jessica, our server was amazing! She made perfect recommendations and was so genuine and friendly! We loved her! The food was SO good! Couldn’t have been better!

Service by Alexis was excellent. Pleasant personality, prompt & attentive. The food was decent at best: escargot, goat cheese tart. Frites. paired with the West End High Ball. Nice finger foods & outside seating. Although we didn’t indulge, happy hour is available. I arrived expecting TASTE BAR.

Thank you Brasserie for a beautiful dinner. Service was amazing, thank you Lindsay. Steak frites & Roasted Chicken were outstanding. Wine list on point! Can’t wait to return ❤️

Every detail was perfect! And the food was delicious!

The food was well prepared, plentiful and fairly priced. The service was fine, though we did have several different people stop by the table Rather than one dedicated server. The atmosphere was ok - a bit crowded and quite loud. Hard to hear across the table.

Amazing brunch, sat outside, excellent service. Brasserie never disappoints!

The food was amazing! Our server was very attentive even though the restaurant was full and very busy. We will go back to try the other menu items! I highly recommend Brasserie by Niche!

I don’t live in the city anymore but anytime I can get back to visit, Brasserie is my first choice. I feel like they’ve gotten even better than when I remember, though back then it was always top notch. Keep it up and thank you!

Great food and service. Darker atmosphere feels intimate and comfy. The duck was AMAZING!

We were there for dinner following a matinee theater performance. When we arrived, it was very quiet because most diners hadn't arrived. Within half an hour, the room was full and the noise level much greater, but it was not at all objectionable. No loud music. Just the sound of people chatting while dining. Most pleasant. We shared salad and dessert; ordered full entrees. Any more would have been too much food as we are smallish people. Waitstaff attentive without hovering.

This is our third visit. The service was outstanding. The food is always top-notch. Every time I go, I get the chicken. My wife gets beef. Because it was our anniversary they gave us two complementary glasses of champagne. And this wasn’t the cheap stuff either! Thank you.

Back again. This is one of my fav spots when Im in town. I got the rissoto this time and it was cozy and comforting on this rainy night. I also got dessert, the key lime creme brulee which was good but alot, I couldn't even finish it. Something I forgot to mention was in the restrooms they have free feminine hygiene products. Such a nice touch. ❤️ I love this cozy French brasserie in The West End. The cocktails are divine and the burger is my favorite. They have the best shoestring fries.

Recommended by friends. Did not disappoint. Great evening and dinner.

The Brasserie is a long time favorite. The food is always top notch as well as the beautiful and welcoming staff and atmosphere. Every time we are in town the Brasserie is a must stop.

Our favorite place in STL! Fine french cuisine. The Sunday brunch is excellent too. Try the braised beef, duck confit, or anything really. Excellent staff.

Great food, lovely service and nice ambience. Would recommend for business or private dining

Had a great experience. Great service, food was good & great wine selection. They even were able to shift our reservations up due to a change in plans. Highly recommend a visit! Do yourself a favor and get the floating island dessert with a glass of Mandarino (citrus liqueur).

Goat Cheese Tart superb. Staff was very attentive and thoughtful. Reminds me of being in Paris

My husband and I went to Brasserie during a trip in early April and, while I've taken a second to write this review, it was an excellent experience. We ordered a couple drinks, a goat cheese tart, some mac and cheese, french onion soup, and for entrees we had steak frites and mussels. We enjoyed everything, were seated for our reservation quickly, and really enjoyed the decorations/dining space. I would highly recommend this spot, and especially the goat cheese tart :)

Great brunch and cocktails. Very enjoyable. We will definitely be back.

What a lovely, charming spot! The service was wonderful and our waitress was very sweet and not rushing us through our evening. My husband and I came for post-dinner desserts and drinks, all of which were delicious. At one point some glass fell and shattered near our table (no one was hurt) and to make up for it, our waitress brought us an additional dessert for free, which was completely unnecessary! I loved the vibe and atmosphere and especially appreciated that it felt warm, charming and welcoming. It wasn't the trendy "modern" form of dining, it was so much better! I look forward to visiting again soon!

The food was amazing from beginning to end and the ambiance perfect!

Our FAVORITE restaurant in Central West End of Saint Louis. GREAT food, wonderful and attentive service, and fun atmosphere!

Be sure and request they don’t seat you at the last table in the middle aisle by the kitchen. If you sit on one side of the table, you are staring at a view of the kitchen’s trash can and fire extinguisher. If you sit on the other side, the staff is constantly whizzing behind you in both directions. I can’t believe they give that table to someone with reservations.

Wonderful food and a lovely waiter made this a beautiful evening. Delicious!

I found Brasserie to be a stellar dining experience in the STL upscale food scene. It's an intimate dining experience that is perfect for dates or nights out with friends. The menu changes since last year are pleasant and I now feel there is a great variety of options spanning throughout traditional french cuisine and done unexpectedly well. The service was slightly slow for a party of two, but a busy Friday night rush combined with an otherwise exceptional time helps overlook the wait. There is an extensive wine and cocktails list, including an assortment of well-crafted non-alcoholic drinks. I definitely recommend checking this place out if looking for an elevated dining experience in STL.

I came for the mussels! Food was wonderful! Service was wonderful! Lindsay's wine recommendations did not disappoint and hit the spot on a toasty spring day. Save room for the earl grey creme brulee!

Loved everything about our experience, from the food and drinks to the staff to the overall ambience. Super great!!

Came in for brunch and loved it! Service was great and food was amazing. Croque madame is a must. Definitely coming back!

Love the food, the atmosphere and the staff. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great Brasserie in a lovely area of St Louis. Best trout almondine I’ve had in years! Nice wine selection and homemade ice cream that was over the top with homemade caramel sauce. AND, our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and delight. Will definitely dine there again.

Great buzz, delicious wine and food, our server Lindsey was attentive and made the evening very comfortable. We know her from Bowood and are always happy to be with her!

Great service and delicious French food. This place knows how to make your evening memorable. We had a wonderful time!

Amazing service. Lindsey was outstanding. Food was overall excellent some dishes better than others. The floating island is not to be missed. Amazing !! Likewise the trout and braised beef ! Cheese puffs, although executed well, would probably not order again. Look forward to going back.
