Cafe Du Jour · South Side
Cafe Du Jour is an intimate South Side restaurant with a leafy courtyard and a concise European menu. Pittsburgh City Paper recognized it in the city's French restaurant field. The small room, changing specials, and measured service make dinner feel personal, while the patio gives warm weather meals a quieter setting.
Walter's BBQ Southern Kitchen · Lawrenceville
Walter's pairs barbecue plates with Southern comfort dishes in a roomy Butler Street restaurant. Pittsburgh City Paper notes a menu that stretches from smoked meats to macaroni and cheese, tacos and Frito pie. The patio and full bar make it a practical gathering spot as well as a smokehouse.
Grist House Craft Brewery · Millvale
Grist House pours its beer from a lively Millvale property with outdoor seating and a regular food truck schedule. Pittsburgh Magazine documents the brewery's growth into additional production and taproom spaces. The original East Sherman Street location remains the useful pin for its neighborhood character and changing draft board.
