Local Lifestyle

Residents of Frontenac enjoy the best of both worlds. Enjoy your coffee on your beautiful front porch in the suburbs, then head to downtown St. Louis for lunch with friends. The accessibility of the town, dozens of open green spaces, and overall quality of life make living in Frontenac a wonderful experience. Residents are mostly young families, commuters, and retirees.

Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

For an elevated, upscale shopping experience, visit Plaza Frontenac, the premier destination in St. Louis for luxury brands, popular restaurants, and monthly events for all ages. With Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue as anchors, the shops at Plaza Frontenac are not to be missed. Catch a flick at the theater, or attend an in-store demo, fashion show, or workshop while browsing the stores. Stop at Brio Italian Grille for lunch and try a dish from their authentic, northern Italian menu, or walk around the corner to Bricktops, an upscale, swanky restaurant serving seared ahi tuna, jumbo crab cakes, and a delicious butterflied trout for dinner. 
 
For the best breakfast and brunch in St. Louis, visit The Shack. This casual and fun restaurant features menu items like cinnamon crunch French toast, lemon curd, and blueberry pancakes, and classic wraps for lunch — with a quirky twist! Each item is christened with a witty name to go along with its ingredients, like the “Make a Grown Man Cry” spicy breakfast burrito and the “Downstream is Too Mainstream” omelet. Pick your favorite one and don’t forget to sign the wall before you leave.
 

Things to Do

For a truly unique evening out, try The Dinner Detective, America’s largest interactive comedy murder mystery show. Solve a hilarious mystery while enjoying a delicious, four-course meal, but stay on your toes — the culprit may be seated at your table! The Dinner Detective is held at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac, offering a beautiful, “old-world charm” to set the scene. Make a reservation for two or book a private party for one of the most popular destinations in the St. Louis area.   
 
Located just outside of Frontenac is the National Museum of Transportation. Featuring over 190 exhibits, the museum is home to the largest collection of transportation vehicles in the world and offers monthly activities for all ages.
