Balkan Store & Bakery 13393 Olive Boulevard, Chesterfield, MO 63017

"It was nice and quiet when our group went and the food was great. Excellent portions and felt like we were welcomed into someone's home for our meal. When we finished our food, we went to the attached shop. Here, they greeted us with enthusiasm to explain all of the different products. Truly this place is a gem of genuine passion for what they do. Thank you!"

"You can't find better yogurt anywhere else. It's great to have a Bulgarian store and restaurant in St Louis. The restaurant is on one side and is very reasonably priced. The store is on the other stuff and has a good selection of food. I recommend the pickles, blueberry cake, liutenitsa, and of course the plain yogurt."

"I just tried Balkan Store, and my word, the lamb gyro was amazing! Came with fries for only $12! I couldn't decide on which dessert to try, so I tried 3. The blueberry mascarpone was sweet and delicious. The baklava was flakey and also delicious, as was the honey medovina. I highly recommend Balkan Store if you're in the area and want to try Bulgarian food. Some of the best food I've had!"

"This place has always had a friendly atmosphere. Newly renovated from a primarily grocery store to a restaurant and store. The food is delicious. We ordered a lamb gyro, lamb gyro panini, and karnache. Everything was tasty and satisfying. They also have outdoor seating."

"This is a wonderful eatery with a terrific selection of Bulgarian entrees and desserts (superb!) that are hard to find in St. Louis. Their grilled meats are fresh and all made from scratch; the kebapche (Bulgarian pork kebabs) is intricately spiced without being too salty, and it is so succulent that it bursts open with its rich juices the instant you take a bite . And the pastries (baklava, banitsa, tiramisu, fig and mascarpone) are great— airy, light, smooth. Sometimes their pastries have been sitting around for a while and the quality can lag depending on freshness, so weekends are probably the best time to visit"
