1818 Bistro

1818 Bistro is a beloved restaurant in South Main Historic District. Originally built in 1818, on this site, Eckerts Tavern also known as Sign of the Buffalo, served travelers, and pioneers as they traversed the country during the Great Migration. Serving as the hosting place for the crafting of the Santa Fe Trail documents, St. Charles played an integral part in Westward expansion. Spring & Summer months the patio season is in full swing (pet friendly of course). Locals and repeat visitors to South Main Street know it is the best. In Fall & Winter months gas lights, fire pits, fine French wines will welcome you. Retreat inside with the original fireplace room, bistro bar and new lighting. Bon Appetit!
