Brasserie by Niche shared by @eater says: ""In 2015, Gerard Craft received the James Beard Best Chef: Midwest award in recognition of his debut St. Louis restaurant, Niche. Though that restaurant has since closed, Craft has opened a handful of diverse new restaurants, all forward-thinking, all reflective of the quality staff that his establishments attract. His third restaurant, Brasserie by Niche, a French bistro in the Central West End, has maintained its devotion from diners since it first opened in 2009. It’s always buzzing with hungry guests enjoying flawless, pillowy gougères, garlicky wild Burgundy escargot, a deeply satisfying, slow-cooked cassoulet, or duck confit with tender green lentils."" on Postcard
