  • Affordable International Cuisine in St. Louis

    In the most recent episode of Arch Eats, hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr addressed one of the questions they're most frequently asked: Where do I go that's delicious and affordable? Listen to that episode to hear their picks for full-service restaurants where entrées are priced in the teens to twenties.

    With so many St. Louis restaurants serving high-quality, affordable fare, they devoted a follow-up episode to restaurants that serve authentic, reasonably priced international cuisine, whether in a fast-casual format or via table service. 

    This episode is sponsored by The Magic House and supported by the St. Louis Food Truck Association.

    Travel the world at The Magic House with “Namaste India!” where you can immerse yourself in Indian culture, and explore the newest exhibit, "Alma’s Way: Welcome to My Neighborhood," based on the PBS Kids’ series. Plan your visit at magichouse.org.
