The beloved St. Louis institution has received a 21st-century makeover. Its new location in the Central West End's Maryland Plaza is a sleek, modern dessert bar. The menu divides desserts into light-, medium- and full-bodied selections. The last group offers a chocolate terrine as dense as a neutron star and a surprisingly good version of the ubiquitous flourless chocolate cake. Medium-bodied desserts include a silky chocolate pot de crème, and the standout among the light-bodied desserts is a smooth, cooling milk chocolate semi freddo. You can try selected Bissinger's chocolates in "Confection Flights," and several liqueurs are available as shots served in a cup made of chocolate.
Chocolate and vodka may not be an obvious pairing, but here at Gut Check International Headquarters, we partake of both liberally. So naturally, when Bissinger's (32 Maryland Plaza; 314-367-7750) an... More »

"So, Ian, tell me what's bothering you this week." It's the heat, Doc. It's killing me. "It is hot." I'm hot. Like, all the time. "You should go somewhere it's not hot." That's the problem, Doc. I can't go anywhere else. I have to stay in... More »
The sour economy has put us in the mood for something sweet -- and indulgent. We need chocolate, in other words, nature's Zoloft, and nothing sates our appetite for an indulgent dessert like Bissinger's: A Chocolate Experience does. The sleek dessert bar from this St. Louis institution offers rich treats -- cheesecake, bread pudding, semifreddo, crème brûlée and more -- dosed with enough chocolate to get us through this recession and the next one. Is that... More »
There are no accidents at Bissinger's, only calculated choco-crimes. On a recent evening, a friend had the nerve to suggest otherwise: "I accidentally ate your half of that truffle." Our hostility over the pilfered confection (a dark-chocolate Champagne truffle, to be precise) was mitigated, somewhat, by the fact that we were sitting at a table absolutely covered with decadent desserts. With the introduction of Bissinger's: A Chocolate Experience, the company has morphed its knack for... More »
Breakfast may never be the same: Bissinger's opens at 9 a.m. Forget the cereal. Leave the eggs in their shell. You need a hot cup of freshly brewed java, and chocolate. Lots of chocolate. If you're lucky and it's July, try an eye-opening chocolate-covered raspberry, the best you'll ever taste. And hey -- it's fruit! September means uniquely luscious blackberries (covered in chocolate). May flowers bring chocolate-covered strawberry showers. In between you'll have to survive on Champagne... More »
