As a proud five star member of the Green Dining Alliance we:



​

  • recycle all glass, paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, wine corks, vegetable oils, light bulbs and batteries
  • compost all organic waste
  • re-use wine bottles to serve water to guests upon request
  • depend on local farmers to source seasonable products
  • source sustainable seafood using the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch App
  • purchase renewable energy through Pure Power Ameren
  • serve straws upon request (and provide compostable straws for those who would like one)
  • re-purpose materials to use in decorating

When creating and preparing a menu, we carefully choose partners that provide the freshest options for a clean eating dining experience.



​That includes
local partners such as chicken and cage free eggs from Buttonwood Farms, pork from Geisert Farms, bread from Breadsmith, and several others. Our wine list is also carefully crafted to include over 20 wines that are sustainable and/or organic!

When you bring your friends and family together for a celebration or an intimate dinner, you don’t have to worry about what we are bringing to your table!

We're turning Wine Into Water

3/17/2019

 
Picture
Big Sky Cafe plans on turning "Wine Into Water" to help kick off World Water Week and bring attention to the need for clean drinking water in developing nations!

Just purchase a bottle of sustainable wine (marked with an 🅢) from our list for dinner during the designated days, and we will donate 20% to our adopted cause, charity:water.

Not interested in a bottle? Drop you spare change in the wine bottle by our front door, and we will match your donation by 20%! It only takes $30 to supply clean water for one person's lifetime!

Since 2009, Big Sky Cafe has been committed to the cause by raising enough money to help 520 people, see more info here.

​Please note: Sunday's BOGO special deal will not be valid on March 24th.

Our carrot hummus is yummus.

1/9/2019

 
From Pat Eby of the St. Louis Post Dispatch:
Picture
When carrots and chickpeas combine in a silky hummus at Big Sky Cafe, the delightful pairing, enlivened with a touch of cumin and lemon, is served with an herbed flatbread. It would also go well with crackers or vegetable dippers. The dish is served every day during dinner service at the cafe, a complementary amuse-bouche. It’s indicative of the top-shelf customer service regular diners have come to love. “The carrot hummus with an herbed flat bread is our version of bread service,” executive chef Dominic Weiss says.

Are you a socially conscious diner?

10/18/2018

 
42 million Americans are food insecure, 1 in 9 Americans rely on food banks. And we can help change that.

Big Sky Cafe is proud to announce our partnership with Gift A Meal - a mobile application that provides meals to the hungry in St. Louis. One meal is donated through Operation Food Search every time you share a picture of your meal within the app. If you share your picture on social media, an additional meal will be donated.

Let's work together to help those who need it!

Five Star Certification

READ MORE ABOUT OUR MISSION
Although we have been committed to sustainable practices for 20+ years now, we decided it was time to be certified!

The Green Dining Alliance (GDA) works with restaurants in the St. Louis area to reduce their environmental impact. An audit is done to evaluate "reducing, recycling, and composting restaurant waste; operating facilities with efficiency; and sourcing sustainable food, to-go ware, and cleaning supplies."

Here's what the GDA had to say about us:
"Sustainability is part of the culture at Big Sky Café. After long conversations with wait staff, the owner, managers, and kitchen staff, they decided it was in line with their mission to move to compostable straws, and to only offer them on request. The whole staff is engaged with their environmental mission, from servers, who learn about the local farms their menu items are crafted from, to their kitchen staff, who waste nothing – creating masterpieces out of scraps and composting the rest."
