Unless otherwise noted, the following recommendations are within walking distance of the Moonrise Hotel and WashU’s Danforth Campus.

This list it not exhaustive. There are many other places along Delmar Blvd (“the Loop”) for lunch as well.

Many of these recommendations are also open for dinner.

These restaurants are located across St. Louis and many would require car or rideshare transportation. Most of these restaurants are casual, but a few may take reservations so we recommend checking their site. You should also double check the restaurant’s hours, as some close on certain days.

These are in various neighborhoods and some are closer than others are to Moonrise Hotel. Most of the restaurants on the Lunch page are also open for dinner if you want somewhere within walking distance.
