Hi, I am new to the forum. I like it. I live downtown and walk to work along Olive and saw the plans for the work being done in the 705 Olive and the plans said it is a Tuetenberg's. I remember that being a resturaunt in the old Marquette Annex building in the '70. All that is old is new again.

I'm told this is in fact the original Teutenberg family. No word on whether their renown fish sandwiches will be appearing on the new menu.

I knew it! I thought that name sounded familiar. That is the very same Teutenberg family as THE Fred Teutenberg of Dirt Cheap fame. I guess they are directing all that cash from cheap liquor and ciggies into a more respectable enterprise. I hope it is not a Dirt Cheap Food concept, although...
Cheap, Cheap! Fun, Fun! Remember, the more she drinks, the better you look!
You gotta love it.

Here's the blurb from the Business Journal:
Teutenberg's, a century-old name in St. Louis dining, will open a restaurant at 701 Olive St. by late July or early August. Chris Teutenberg is leading the investors, all family members including his father, Fred Teutenberg, who heads the Dirt Cheap Cigarettes, Beer & Liquor store chain. The new Teutenberg's will combine upscale dining, including roasted meat, fish and pasta entrees, with quicker service, offering both table service and a "bistro to go" line, Chris Teutenberg said. The family is spending about $30,000 converting the 2,600-square-foot space, last occupied by AT&T Wireless. From 1812 until the 1990s, the Teutenbergs operated bakeries and restaurants around town.

Is this the corner space of the Louis Sullivan designed building?

Yes, this is at the corner of Olive & 7th, which is within the
Union Trust building at 705 Olive Street.

Unfortunately a sign in the window says they will be a Monday through Friday daytime only operation. We need more evening and weekend establishments in the central business district now! No wonder all visitors seem to see is a dead downtown.
