Top Best French Restaurants in Kiawah Island

"Chez Nous, meaning "Our Home" in French, is as cozy inside as you would expect from the name. But don't let that fool you--the team at Chez Nous serves up a three course menu (two options for app, entree, and dessert) each day that commands the attention of locals and visitors alike. The presentation of each dish is lovely, guaranteeing a top-notch experience before you've even take your first bite."

"Each day, Chef Jill Mathias writes out the menu by hand: two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. The menu is the same at lunch as it is at dinner, and what ensues is a daily dinner party of sorts. It's seasonal, elevated, European comfort food."

"French style café & bar offering the best in Brasserie cuisine. Indoor/outdoor seating, cocktails & robust wine list. Sun brunch 10a, lunch daily 11:30a, dinner nightly 5:30p."

"If in search of something a bit heartier, visit Village Bakery, just across the quaint East Cooper River. While Village Bakery harbors plenty of options for dessert, its sandwiches, soups, and salads are also good picks to try. Restaurant owner Sal Parco has also championed a handful of other successful individual favorites in the Mount Pleasant and Charleston areas."

"Cafe Framboise is a French-style patisserie located on Market Street. If you want a light lunch, they have sandwiches and savory crepes. If you’re looking for something sweet, try one of the sweet pastries or crepes!"

"Henrietta’s at The Dewberry is a hotel restaurant very much worth going to even if you aren’t staying upstairs. This semi-fancy, all-day bistro in Mazyck-Wraggborough serves a wide range of French and Lowcountry dishes, from a vegetable quiche and boudin bites to their really good burger and glazed lobster omelette. It’s definitely one of the pricier brunch or lunch options in town, but if you’re looking for a great patio, good French food, and somewhere to drink a nice cocktail, Henrietta’s is where to go."

"In the spirit of a traditional French brasserie, Henrietta’s offers food anchored in Lowcountry bounty, executed with global influences, delivered with unrivaled hospitality."

"Breizh Pan Crepes serves traditional specialties from the western region of France including delicious savory and sweet crêpes, a variety of desserts, and special omelets. Stop by for breakfast or lunch or just come in for their delicious Le Phare crepe, a sweet crepe filled with strawberries, homemade chocolate, bananas, and Chantilly cream."

"Owners Patrice and Celine Rombaut have brought their western French background to the College of Charleston area of King Street. Savory ingredients come in a gluten-free, buckwheat crepe, while fruit, Nutella, and ice cream fill the sweet variety."

"What kid doesn’t love an excuse to eat pancakes at every meal?. Breizh Pan Crepes has a chic, classic vibe and a menu loaded with both sweet and savory options. They also have some killer hot cocoa and coffee drinks."

"Robert Harris began his career majoring in Fine Art at Winthrop University and attending Clemson University where he received his Bachelor of Science degree for Graphic Communications in 1986. Having been raised with a rich and colorful southern family heritage, Robert made his home in Charleston, South Carolina where he enjoys a love for the lifestyle and culture, history and architecture, and the coastal landscape. This is the inspiration for his art, in which he captures both the natural and man-made beauty of the Lowcountry."

"With its signature red roof and the oversized burger out front, the lone Boulevard Diner that's left has all the trappings of an old-school eatery. McCrady's chef Jeremiah Langhorne heads there for the biscuits and gravy (they're "always delicious there") and the Southern vegetable sides, like okra, collards, red rice and more."

"If you’re looking for some good seafood, you might want to consider the High Cotton. Although they’ve recently undergone a transition under new management, they are still considered one of the best seafood restaurants in downtown Charleston. Fried oysters, crab cake, shrimp and grits, whatever you’re hankering for as far as Lowcountry cuisine is likely present on the High Cotton menu."

"High Cotton is one of the best fine dining restaurants you’ll find in Charleston. This family-owned restaurant is among the top choices if you want to dress it up for the night. High Cotton serves Southern favorites served in an elegant dining room with pine floors and antique bricks filled an atmosphere filled with signature Charleston hospitality."

"While James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Brock is no longer leading the kitchen, his culinary expertise was the guiding force behind this 22-seat, 16-course tasting-menu-only spot that remains a destination for the gastronomically adventurous, featuring the talents of executive chef Ben Norton. If you’re into food “experiences,” the price is worth your while."

"At McCrady’s, you’re sitting in one of the most historic dining rooms in the city—maybe near the fireplace with a sophisticated absinthe cocktail.
