Traditional The Three Weeks Foods
Find these classics at St. Louis kosher restaurants and caterers.
Three-Weeks Restaurant Dining
Most kosher restaurants remain open throughout the Three Weeks but adjust their operations: live music is paused, restaurant openings and launches are typically pushed to after Tisha B'Av, and many publish updated menus that emphasize traditional, comforting dishes over celebratory fare.
Nine Days Dairy Menus
During the Nine Days (the final stretch from Rosh Chodesh Av through Tisha B'Av), many communities avoid meat and wine. Kosher dairy restaurants, pizza shops, sushi spots, and bakeries experience their busiest week of the summer. Many meat restaurants pivot to dairy or fish-only menus for the period.
Fish-Forward Dishes
Fish is permitted throughout the Three Weeks and Nine Days, making it a popular choice. Kosher sushi spots, seafood restaurants, and dairy cafés that serve fish see strong demand. Salmon, tuna, branzino, and tilapia preparations are common features on Nine-Days menus.
Pre-Tisha B'Av Seudah Hamafseket
The final meal eaten before the Tisha B'Av fast (the seudah hamafseket) is intentionally austere. The traditional version is a hard-boiled egg dipped in ashes, eaten alone while seated on the floor. Many communities prepare lentil soup as well, another traditional food of mourning.
