Best Restaurants in Charleston

150 restaurants analyzed · Charleston

Charleston proper has an above-average share of top-rated restaurants, with American and Southern cooking at the centre and genuine strength across seafood, European, and Mediterranean options. Prices are mostly moderate, with about two-thirds of restaurants in the mid-range, and the peninsula neighbourhoods around King Street concentrate the most serious dining. The upper end is genuinely ambitious by any standard.
