Top-Rated Restaurants in Charleston
We track 154 spots in Charleston. Four have earned the top tier.
This is the 2026 class, and it isn't settled — the list moves with the ratings until it locks. What's here now: a 50 Best honoree with a James Beard Finalist nod, and three Michelin One Stars, all clustered in Cannonborough Elliotborough. A spot that slips before the year closes doesn't get the award. That's the point.
