  I visited Milque Toast on a Saturday morning at about eight o’clock and found myself quite alone in a dining room that was bright, polished, and faintly reverential in its quiet. Other reviewers have remarked on the building itself, and rightly so: a carefully restored older St. Louis structure, lending the place a sense of seriousness and intention before one has even opened the menu.
  
  I was greeted promptly and kindly by my waitress, whose warm kindness never wavered. The menu, however, was notably smaller than the one described on their website, which speaks of a globally inspired approach using thoughtful, local ingredients. What was offered that morning leaned more restrained than expansive, though not without merit.
  
  I ordered the eggs en cocotte with a side of bacon and an espresso, adding two additional eggs to meet my own dietary requirements. The espresso arrived first and, regrettably, was quite poor. To be fair, coffee does not appear to be the house’s primary concern; I noticed no dedicated espresso equipment, and one suspects it is included more by expectation than by conviction.
  
  The main dish arrived shortly thereafter and immediately redeemed the experience. It was beautifully presented and deeply aromatic. The eggs rested in a rich bath of cream and herbs, through which the sharpness of local cheddar cut with admirable confidence. It tasted exactly as it looked: carefully composed and clearly loved. Someone, somewhere in that kitchen, cared very much about this dish.
  
  I confess that my enthusiasm for additional eggs exceeded my capacity to finish them, a fact I admit with some embarrassment. The bacon, unfortunately, was burnt. It was edible, but joyless, and stood in unflattering contrast to the care shown elsewhere—though I acknowledge that many diners prefer it precisely so.
  
  After a few pleasant words with my host, including sincere compliments and an unnecessary apology for my unfinished plate, I settled my bill and departed. The meal came to $38, owing in part to the additional eggs. This is not a complaint, merely an observation.
  
  Would I return? Possibly. I would be interested to see the menu broaden, particularly in the direction of the global inspiration promised online. What I ate was very good, but felt more narrowly focused than advertised. I think I would return, if only to see what lunch might offer.

  Went here on a Sunday heard about milque toast but never had the pleasure.
  
  Going to keep this short and sweet.
  
  The food. By far 5 stars, I had the BEC with home chips, and ( cant remember the name, and must be new to the menu cause incant find it online ) the salmon over cream cheese with pickled cucumber and onion with avocado and bean sprout. ( picture ) my partner got the eggs en cocotte. All of pur food was very good!
  
  My only issue was it did take a lil longer than one might like to get service/acknowledged. But it was worth the lil bit of wait.
  
  I also had the chai coffee which i felt didnt have quite the chai flavor i was expecting but it was decent.
  
  Overall ill def going back! Prices were reasonable and again the food was very good!
  
  3 plate with 2 drinks and we got outbunder 100 bucks. I cant really be upset about that since the portions were also hearty.
  
  I do think the waitress though inwouldnt eat all of my food lol. She even said. You get alot for the value. Little did she know I HAVE to eat lots of food daily🙃nnAll in all youll def want to try this place. Local eats, great treats!
  
  Ohh the flour less chocolate cake was also very good!

  Food is excellent and unique. I had the BEC. The building is historic and they embrace it's history. Will definitely be back to try other items!

  I was very excited to see this building brought back to life after moving here from nearby up Jefferson. We finally made it here for brunch this past weekend.
  
  The food was great! Really. French inspired dishes. Everything has nice flavors and good presentation. I like the variety it brings compared to the average regular place.
  
  Service was attentive and friendly.
  
  The atmosphere is a bit drab and the chairs are supremely uncomfortable.
  
  We'd definitely recommend trying this place.

  This is the most delicious food you can buy. From the obviously beautiful plating to the complex yet full flavors that vary from every creative dish Milque Toast is an absolute St. Louis Gem. The staff is gentle and kind to match the delicate yet filling food. Food is so clearly art at this establishment.
