Moving to STL Guide — Family Friendly Dining | Metro East

Proud to be one of the only farm to table restaurants in the St. Louis Metro East – located on the north end of Godfrey, IL. Not only do they purchase the freshest of ingredients from local suppliers, they also have their own garden on site where they grow many of their own vegetables and herbs (tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, chives, basil, dill, oregano, and more). In addition to the amazing food, Bakers + Hale are proud to host many different types of events throughout the year. They have live music on their patio area multiple nights a week in addition to Bike Nights and All Wheels Cruise-Ins during the warmer months of the year.
