About
Eleven Eleven Mississippi is best for diners who want upscale farm-to-table cuisine with a serious wine program, in a setting that nods to St. Louis history. This award-winning restaurant, open since 2003 in Lafayette Square, occupies part of the old International Shoe factory. The space that once made women's shoe heels now serves Tuscan and Californian dishes crafted from seasonal ingredients, many from the restaurant's own hydroponic greenhouse. The patio is a local favorite, and the full bar and happy hour keep regulars coming back. It's a dressy but comfortable spot, popular with mixed crowds including queer diners.
Reservations are recommended, especially on busy nights like Friday and Saturday. The wine list is a highlight here, alongside non-traditional Italian options (one regular calls it "great non traditional Italian food"). Note the split hours on Saturday: open 10am-1pm and then again 4pm-10pm. Late diners appreciate that they serve later than many nearby places, and the heated patio extends the season for al fresco dining. You'll find parking availability less of a hassle than in many other city neighborhoods.
Eleven Eleven Mississippi sits in Lafayette Square, a historic St. Louis neighborhood near Lasalle Street. The area is known for its 19th-century architecture and proximity to downtown.

“One of my favorites”
This spot is a top favorite in St. Louis for me. The Italian dishes are creative and not standard, the wine selection is good, and their hours go later than many other places.
