St. Louis Restaurant Openings and Closings: March 2024
We’re still obsessed with Pink Willow Café The St. Louis restaurant industry saw some notable changes in March, including the closure of its former location at 9 South Vandeventer and the closing of BLK MKT Eats in the Central West End. The new location of Pink Willow Café in Cottleville features a 35-foot, hand-painted willow tree mural, a touch of mid-century and pink. The cafe's menu includes classics like pancakes, French toast and omelets, and specialties like their house avocado toast. Other notable openings include the opening of Ao&Co. at CAM, Bacaro, Donut Palace, Donuts Palace, Eat Today, and Intertwine Wine Bar.

As March ends, we look back at the beloved restaurants we had to say goodbye to, but rejoice in the new spots we have to welcome.
First and foremost, the St. Louis sushi-burrito legend BLK MKT Eats closed its location at 9 South Vandeventer in the Central West End — breaking the hearts of many. But hearts will mend at their new location at 7356 Manchester Road in Maplewood.
Another exciting opening is that of Cottleville’s newest breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, Pink Willow Café (5523 Oak Street). The hotspot features a 35-foot, hand-painted willow tree mural, a touch of mid-century and a whole lot of pink. The cafe’s menu includes classics like pancakes, French toast and omelets, as well as some specialties like their house avocado toast. For lunch there's a rotating soup of the day, salads and their teriyaki buddha bowl, burger and grilled cheese.
