Best French Restaurants in Charleston
Two French spots in Charleston, and one of them is a Beard finalist.
Merci leads the pack — Delicious tier, a James Beard Finalist for 2026, running $$$$ in Harleston Village. Chez Nous backs it up a notch down in Cannonborough Elliotborough, Damn Good at $$$. Charleston's French scene is small, but both of these clear our bar.
