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.

    An excellent choice recommended by a Charleston “local.” Very cool space in a converted old bank building. Convenient location for visitors, yet refreshingly away from the more touristy center of the peninsula. Well-designed menu with creative variations on French classics. Solid wine list that included some interesting offerings by the glass that went beyond the usual suspects.

    We had a great meal! The escargot did not meet my expectations and they kindly removed from my bill. We will be back!

    Fantastic as always. I like the addition of different cuts of beef to choose from on the steak frites.

    The appetizers and dinner were good. The deserts were very disappointing - dried out pastry, tasteless mousse :(

    I went to celebrate my Birthday and I couldn't be happier. The food was delicious and the service even better the staff surprised me with a Birthday card and flowers and they gifted the table with 2 delicious croissants that were so fresh. Highly recommend this place.
