The Spot
Lillian's Petite Market & Eatery occupies a historic building on Charleston's Westside, functioning as both a neighborhood market and a full-service restaurant. The day starts on the first floor with locally roasted coffee, house-made pastries, and breakfast, then moves into lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner served upstairs in The Jackalope Dining Room, at The Jackalope Bar, or on the terrace.

Executive Chef Todd Garrigan runs the dinner menu, built on what the restaurant describes as great ingredients, classic technique, and a spirit of curiosity. Rather than following trends, the menu evolves through the seasons alongside handcrafted cocktails, local beer, and a curated wine list.

The market side sells fresh flowers, grab-and-go meals, wine, and gifts alongside everyday provisions, and Lillian's extends into the wider community through a Wine Club and catering for tailgates, boat days, and private events.

Charleston City Paper named Lillian's to its Best of 2026 list. Regulars point to the hospitality, the strength of the breakfast and brunch service, and the rooftop atmosphere as reasons they keep coming back.
