Honored and humbled to be recognized once again on Ian Froeb’s STL 100 Best Restaurants list for 2026!
From the kitchen to the dining room, from our suppliers to the people behind the scenes—thank you for making Akar what it is.
Most importantly, thank you to our guests for your continued trust and support. Every reservation, every celebration, and every return visit inspires us to keep pushing forward and striving to be better each day.
Congratulations as well to all the talented chefs and restaurateurs who made this year’s list. St. Louis continues to be an incredible city for dining, and we are grateful to be part of such a vibrant and passionate hospitality community.
With gratitude,
Chef Bernie Lee & Team Akar
