Two New Restaurants Coming to Downtown Charleston

Even though numerous businesses have suffered immensely throughout the past year, there seems to be some hope. The restaurant scene in downtown Charleston is coming alive again and adding some fresh new faces. Check out these two new restaurants coming to Charleston this spring.

Coterie, located in downtown Charleston, recently opened at 17 Warren Street. Coterie serves up a fusion of Indian and American cuisine with a southern twist like their Okra and Paneer Malai or Bombay Shrimp and Grits. They also have delicious craft cocktails and provide outdoor seating for patrons to enjoy. The restaurant is open from 5:00pm – 11:00 pm for dinner service.

Brasserie le Banque is set to open this spring at 1 Broad Street. This French brasserie, owned by the Indigo Road Hospitality Group, will serve classic French pastries for breakfast in combination with a coffee bar and will also provide lunch and dinner for restaurant-goers.

Charleston’s Restaurant Week Has Begun

South Carolina’s annual restaurant week has officially begun. Each year the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association hosts a week-long celebration of local restaurants in various cities across the state, where participating restaurants provide special menus and pricing on some of their most popular items.

This year’s event will last from January 7th to January 17th. Foodies can find either lunch or dinner menus ranging in price from $10 to $55 depending on the number of courses and chosen restaurant.

Some of this year’s participating restaurants include 5 Church, Grace and Grit, High Cotton, Slightly North of Broad and Vicious Biscuit. Each restaurant has fully customized their restaurant week menu to create a tailored and indulgent experience for restaurant-goers.

It’s no secret the restaurant industry has suffered immensely during the course of the past year so we encourage people to support some of Charleston’s local hotspots during this year’s restaurant week.
