Proprietors Paul and Wendy Hamilton and
Executive Chef and General Manager, Ivy Magruder’s
trip to the Provence region of France in 2004 was more than
a time to relax and enjoy a well deserved break. They were
looking at bringing the warm and inviting local tradition
of food and wine back to St. Louis to create their next restaurant.
So began the adventure that culminated
with opening of Vin de Set in the summer of 2006 at the restored
Centennial Malt House at 2017 Chouteau Avenue. Keeping with
the theme of restaurant names, Vin de Set is the phonetic
spelling of the French number “vingt dix-sept”,
2017 the address.
As was the case with Eleven Eleven Mississippi,
which brought together the experience of Northern California
and the Tuscan region of Italy, Vin de Set puts a decidedly
American twist on a French bistro in a way that is both comfortable
and inviting. Executive Chef and General Manager Ivy Magruder
explains the menu as “an approachable interpretation
of southern French cuisine.” “Our dishes are
simple and straightforward concentrating on the influences
of Provence and determined by the seasons.”
Stunning original and unique architecture
features like high ceilings, grand arched windows, an open
air elevated loft overlooking the bar, skylight cathedral
ceiling and French doors adds to the unique dining experience.
We look forward to entertaining you,
your friends and your family at Vin de Set Rooftop Bar and
Bistro.
