Sidney Street Cafe
Missouri
Sidney Street Cafe occupies a century-old storefront in St Louis's Benton Park neighbourhood. Chef Kevin Nashan runs the restaurant with his wife Mina and brother Chris, giving this established address a strong family connection. The cooking combines recognisable ingredients with detailed preparations. Dishes have included lobster turnovers with tomato and brandy cream, veal dumplings with coriander salsa, and halibut with corn velouté, bok choy and bacon XO sauce. Beef cheek with spaetzle and seasonal vegetables shows another side of the kitchen, while cheese and charcuterie offer a different starting point. The menu changes, so these combinations are examples of its approach.
