Panorama – Saint Louis Art Museum

Take Me Here Using Metro Transit

Panorama offers a sustainable and enchanting dining experience inside the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. The 2500 sq.ft. modern restaurant has minimalistic vibes and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of Art Hill. The menu is American cuisine with most of the fruits and veggies sourced from Ole Tyme Produce, the largest woman-owned distributor in MO, and Fox River whenever possible. Cheeses are sourced locally from Marcoot Jersey Creamery,  bread from Companion, and ice cream from Serendipity. Local craft beers Schlafly, 4 Hands, and UCBC are available along with fresh brewed coffee from Kaldi’s. Panorama is LEED Gold certified and is a world class dining experience in a world class art museum.

Panorama controls light flow into the restaurant by operating manual window shades to adapt to exterior conditions allowing in plenty of natural light. The building has a white roof which helps regulate internal temperatures inside and smart thermostats throughout to program temperature settings. The exterior utilizes rain gardens, bioswales, and bio-retention basins to manage water runoff. SLAM took advantage of the Ameren Bizsavers rebate program to install 5 EV charging stations in the parking garage.

The head chef is a veteran member of the Saint Louis Chefs de Cuisine, American Culinary Federation and helps Panorama combat food waste by training his staff to use a food waste log to prevent future issues. Any unutilized food resources from service or events is efficiently and safely repurposed for employee meals. The menu offers vegan and vegetarian options, a stellar brunch spread on the weekends, and all of their salmon is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Panorama uses all reusable materials for dine-in service and offers post-consumer take-out containers for leftovers.  

Panorama is part of the Green Team at SLAM which meets monthly, so sustainability goals are always included in strategic planning. Panorama is the perfect complement to a day at the Saint Louis Art Museum, or if you’re anywhere in Forest Park! Check the website for the most current hours of operations.
