Sure, we love our big and fabulous restaurants -- nobody enjoys having to wait for a table, after all. But there's just something about eating in one of St. Louis' smaller joints that feels so much more cozy and uniquely local, where striking up a conversation with a stranger isn't so strange after all when they're dining less than a foot away. As such, we've gathered 20 of our favorite tiny dining spots for you to enjoy. They span a variety of cuisines and neighborhoods, but they do share a few things: the space is small, the seating is limited and the food is oh-so delicious.
