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.

    This was the most wonderful experience, came to celebrate a birthday and have a Sunday brunch, the table was ready for us when we arrived with birthday decorations and the staff made the celebration such a big deal! But, that was just the start, the service was fantastic, the food was amazing, and we felt the prices were very reasonable. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this restaurant, one great time!

    Phenomenal. Everything. Food to die for. Portion sizes excellent. Service on point. Prices reasonable for Charleston. Little loud, so probably won’t bring my elderly hard of hearing parents, which is a shame.

    It was our anniversary dinner and they had a reserved table with a card signed by the staff. The food was excellent and the ambience was good. Everyone was attentive without interfering with our evening.

    Lizzy, our server, was an absolute delight! The suggestions she made were spot on. Lizzy has the most fun personality! We were so happy and fortunate to have been served by her. It was our anniversary and they had a nice sign at our table as well as a card recognizing us. Also when we walked in they greeted us with the acknowledgement! The food was cooked to perfection! So full of flavor! I would recommend to anyone visiting Charleston or celebrating a special occasion! Top tier!

    We arrived towards the end of brunch, but we’re greeted with a big smile. The food was enjoyable and delicious. Our waitress was professional, and on top of things we sat at the chefs counter, which is always a fun thing to do. I recommend this restaurant and it’s a great location.
