The Charleston Peninsula is home to some of the absolute best cuisine in the South. Being on a peninsula means space is limited by our being surrounded by water. This creates a higher value on real estate and profitable businesses. As a result of this unique setting coupled with Charleston's historical downtown we are blessed with an unusually high number of successful, quality and exciting restaurants. If one shuts down another will pop up and the survival of the fittest is in full effect here. Being a slightly European style city Charleston tends to encourage an Olde World feeling of wanting to stroll around lazily taking in the sites...and the smells. Be prepared when you visit this city's many culinary delights as some places are known only to locals and others are known only by locals to be less than par. High advertising budgets can mislead folks into a tourist trap, yet taking the time to simply ask a local or use this website can make you see (and smell) Charleston in a whole new light.
