Incredible French restaurant with a menu that changes everyday - my favorite spot in Charleston. Check out their instagram for their daily menu and photos of their dishes! Tucked away in Paynes Court, it is set up like a family home with napkin rings and mismatched silverware. Walk-ins only.

Drinks & Nightlife
Used to be a private club, now requires ringing the doorbell to be admitted, while somehow avoiding being pretentious. This jazzed up dive bar is tucked away form the King Street madness, has an incredible happy hour, and is run by friendly people. Good spot to meet locals and find great DJs.

Sightseeing
Beautiful plantation with Cypress swamp and stunning garden. All the plantations are great - this has the least impressive house but the best garden. Drayton and Middleton have the best houses. You really can't go wrong.
