French Restaurants in Charleston, SC

“Stepped out of our typical places to eat to try Azur and we were really impressed. Food, drinks, and service were all top tier. Pedro and Chris were great bartenders who made sure our experience was absolutely excellent.“

“Amazing birthday celebration dinner.“

“Delicious and creative menu!“

“Excellent food and service in warm welcoming environment.“

“During our 4 day trip to Charleston we tried several highly rated restaurants and Merci was by far the best. Our dinner here was one of the best, if not the best meal I've ever had. We sat at the chef's counter and saw the great care and attention to detail that the staff took with each plate. We started with the tuna crudo and focaccia dishes, which were both amazing. For our entree, we had the beef wellington for two - perfectly prepared and so full of flavor. And for dessert, we had a deliciously fresh peach tart. We will be back again to try some of the many other wonderful dishes we saw come out of the kitchen. Thank you Merci for a truly memorable evening.“

“La Cave (next to Felix) completely lived up to the hype. The ambience is absolutely beautiful.. elegant without feeling stuffy, with gorgeous decor and cocktails that were just as impressive as the food.

Everything we ordered was incredible. The caviar biscuit was a fan favorite, and the filet tartine was by far one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life. It was a perfect balance of sweet, salty, spicy, crunchy, creamy, rich, and tender all in one bite. It was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, I hope they never take it off the menu lol! Every cocktail was unique, well-balanced, and presented beautifully.

Also have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Tito, who was amazing all night. Super attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely made the experience even better. They also accommodated us adding two extra people to our reservation last minute, which we really appreciated❤

Hands down one of our favorite dining experiences in Charleston. Already looking forward to coming back!!!“

“My family celebrated my niece’s 21st birthday with you this past Monday (I missed out due to illness) and did nothing but rave about not only the food but the service! The staff individually and personally signed a birthday card for my niece, had a special dessert for her and a small gift and treated her and the rest of my family extremely well! They said the food was amazing! I am so disappointed I had to miss out but plan on making a trip to your wonderful restaurant the next time we visit Charleston!“

“Oh my! We snagged a last minute table after a show and everything was so plate-licking good immediately made plans to come back. The sauce on the mussels was scrumptious and the chicken curry was a shareable generous serving. Carlos was terrific and helpful with recommendations. Thank you!“

“Wonderful crepes. We liked them so much we came back the next day. Much better food than Millers.“

“The atmosphere was nice the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Also the dessert was yummy! Nice place to relax eat good food and unwind!“

“My husband and I got married last week at Upstairs at Rue de Jean, the event space located just above the restaurant. We cannot say enough beautiful things about this fantastic venue or the incredible people who made our day happen. First, a big thank you to Sass, the event manager. She allowed us to visit the space as much as we needed to ensure we were bringing our vision to life and she handled all of our special requests with grace. Every single one of our requests were granted and the team was so excited to help make our day so special. The event team and banquet captain, Justin, made the service impeccably smooth. Every wedding guest with allergies was tended to personally, and dinner for over 100 people went off without a hitch. The food was absolutely phenomenal and my guests are still raving about it. I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Rue de Jean for any private event or dinner. I am so grateful to have been able to host my wedding ceremony and reception here. Thank you so much to everyone!!!

“First off, let me just say that Hannah is the best server. Coming in from Chicago she made us feel at home and welcomed. Matthew behind the bar was equally cordial, friendly, and they both offered great dining suggestions. They were the reason we chose to spend time at the resteraunt in all honesty.“
