Description

In the Museum District, Hotel ZaZa's stylish restaurant and lounge, Monarch, offers a surprisingly conventional but well-prepared menu with salmon, chicken and steak standards while the lounge area gets more adventurous with a "raw bar" and foie gras sliders. The patio is a fantastic setting for a meal.

2012 | Best Patio Dining

With a view onto sprawling Hermann Park, the beautiful Mecom Fountain and the lush Museum District, dining on the Monarch's shaded patio feels a little like noshing at a swank Central Park spot -- especially as you traipse through the elegant lobby to get there. Much of chef Adam West's food seems purpose-built for patio dining, too, with modern picnic-like dishes such as heirloom tomato tartare and roasted chicken with sweet corn maque choux and a lemon/fennel marmalade.
