About
Established in 2006
Proprietors Paul and Wendy Hamilton’s trip to the Provence region of France in 2004 was the inspiration for what has become the most popular rooftop restaurant in St. Louis. They were looking to bring the warm and inviting cuisine of Southern France to St. Louis.
Vin de Set is a comfortable yet stylish French Bistro situated on the edge of downtown St. Louis in the quaint neighborhood of Lafayette Square. The menu is approachable creative cuisine using straightforward ingredients much of which is grown in the restaurants hydroponic greenhouse.
For more information about the owners of Vin de Set and its sister restaurants please visit www.hamiltonhospitality.net
WHERE OUR FOOD IS SOURCED
The ingredients used to produce our menu items are absolutely the freshest available in the Midwest due to much of it being grown in our very own urban farm/orchard and hydroponic/aeroponic greenhouse.
At Vin de Set, a Hamilton Hospitality venue, we are committed to being green. To read more about our commitment to being sustainable and our membership in the St. Louis Green Dining Alliance program click here.
