Nestled in the heart of historic Cottleville lies one of Missouri’s most hidden dining gems. Only open a few nights a week, Stone Soup Cottage is hard to get to and even harder to score a reservation. But once you do, you’ll be impressed by their six-course meals.

It wouldn’t be a hidden gem without hopping on some country dirt roads to get there.
