About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    We visited this restaurant last night to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. The service was incredible—every staff member we interacted with went above and beyond to make the night special. The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for the occasion, and the food was absolutely phenomenal—delicious and thoughtfully prepared. One of the most memorable parts was the personal touch: the team gave my girlfriend a birthday card signed by the staff, and nearly everyone who passed our table took a moment to wish her a happy birthday. It meant so much to us. We’ll definitely be recommending this place to anyone looking for a special dining experience. Huge thanks to the entire staff for making the night so memorable!

    My wife and I decided to enjoy brunch for our anniversary and made a reservation at Brasserie la Banque using OpenTable and when we arrived there was a personalized welcome note and a nice gift for us. It was a pleasant surprise and a nice touch that we enjoyed! The service and food was outstanding, just as dinner always is.

    Too loud. Steak overcooked. Mussels good and butter wine sauce
    Brasserie la BanqueResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the noise level and your steak didn't meet expectations — that's certainly not the experience we aim to provide. On the other hand, we're glad you enjoyed the mussels and the butter wine sauce! We appreciate your comments and will use them to help us improve. We hope you'll consider giving us another try.

    Hayley went over and above as our waitress and the food was fantastic… their croissants are amazing, the omelet was delish and even the potatoes were perfect. The quiche Lorraine was great… overall, couldn’t be better and will go back when in the area again
