Six Florissant Eateries Featured in 'Sauce' This Month

While Florissant is known for some of its local eats, some of the city’s newest and most popular restaurants are highlighted in the latest issue of a metro magazine.

Sauce Magazine features six restaurants from Florissant in its “Where to Explore Next” section. Restaurants such as DeLeo’s, Yacovelli’s and Hendel’s are highlighted as places where you should dine in Florissant.

In a press release from Mayor Tom Schneider’s office, he said he wanted to thank Sauce for recognizing the new and longstanding traditions of town.

“Florissant is blessed with an abundant assortment of restaurant venues with menus to suite any taste,” he said in a news release.

A number of these restaurants have been reviewed on Florissant Patch.

On DeLeo’s directory page, Nancy Quinlan wrote: “My husband and I have been regulars since DeLeo’s opened! We have tried a variety of the menu and have never been disappointed! The new additions are always awesome! We love the atmosphere, clean and bright... the artwork is an added treat to enjoy. Adding to the excellent experience of dining at DeLeo’s is the staff... they make every effort to make sure you are pleased with your food selection and treat you like a special guest every time you come in.. you just can't ask for more! DeLeo’s is a true Florissant treasure that we hope to enjoy for many many years to come!!!!!!”

Similarly, Angie Bennett praised Hendel’s Market Café in her review on the site, writing, “I was treated to a birthday dinner at Hendel's this past Tuesday evening. The atmosphere is so relaxing and tasteful and I love the table service. Speaking of service, the wait staff was very accommodating. The Stuffed Portabello mushroom entry was excellent. I also enjoyed the fresh Caesar Salad and my glass of Sauvingnon Blanc was light, fruity and well paired with my wonderful dinner. Can't wait for the new Fall menu.”
