Scoundrel sits at 18 North Main Street in downtown Greenville, serving French food designed for the table rather than the individual — dishes meant to be passed around, whether the night is a date or a business dinner. The restaurant describes its approach as sophisticated French dining made approachable, with the ease of European hospitality applied to a downtown American setting.
The recognition has piled up fast. Michelin awarded Scoundrel one star in 2025. The James Beard Foundation named it a semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast in 2024 and returned with a finalist nod in the same category for 2026. Eater included the restaurant in its Eater 38, and Greenville Journal named it among the city's best in 2025.
