About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

Brasserie la Banque is a neighborhood French restaurant nestled in historic downtown Charleston, SC. Paying homage to traditional French cuisine in a lively and welcoming environment, Brasserie la Banque celebrates life's memorable moments from impromptu drinks to convivial gatherings and leisurely meals. Led by owner and industry veteran Steve Palmer of Indigo Road Hospitality Group, the restaurant is a culmination of Palmer's work and his passion for the classic French brasserie and its cuisine. The menu features a selection of traditional French dishes alongside more innovative fare. Aptly named for its previous role as a city bank, Brasserie la Banque is located within the iconic 1 Broad Street corner building that dates back to the 1700s.

Our bartender, Sunny?, really made our experience the best. She was so thoughtful, pleasant, and chatty. She offered so many suggestions from what to order at the restaurant to other areas/places to visit, things to see and do. The food was fabulous. The chocolate croissant was to die for. We had a lovely brunch and would definitely go back if given the chance!

We booked dinner for our wedding anniversary without expecting anything more than a typical night out — but we were so pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and thoughtfully acknowledged for our special occasion. Our table was beautifully set with a lovely anniversary message, which made us feel incredibly welcomed. Throughout the evening, the service was attentive, thoughtful, and generous in every way. Every detail contributed is truly appreciated. Thank you for turning our evening into something special.

Oh wow! Brasserie La Banque is fabulous. The food was incredible and the service impeccable. We loved that we could chat during dinner and not deal with noise din (and it was perfect with French music in the background.) The menu offers wonderful twists on French classics. We’ll be back again!!
