The Hidden Greenhouse Restaurant In South Carolina Will Enchant You Beyond Words

Heading to Charleston anytime soon? Be sure to include a reservation at this spectacular restaurant in the historic district with a delightful hidden garden! If there's one completely satisfying dining experience that belongs on everyone's bucket list at least once, it's The Palmetto Café, conveniently squired away in the Belmond Charleston Place Hotel.

The café features a courtyard garden that's perfect for mild weather dining. On cool spring and fall days, sitting in the courtyard feels like you're in an outdoor café in Paris or Italy. But unfortunately not all days in the Lowcountry are perfect for dining out of doors.

But dining inside The Palmetto Café's greenhouse-like space is as spectacular as being out in the garden. A snow-white louvred ceiling gives an illusion of being out of doors in any weather.

Whether it's the heat of the summer, or the chill of an early winter day, you can sit inside and enjoy all that greenery just on the other side of the windows.

You can also expect to find quite a bit of greenery inside as well.

Seriously, this restaurant has more gorgeous plants than some landscape nurseries we've seen! Isn't it beautiful?

You may have a difficult time pulling your eyes away from the food at The Palmetto Café — even though the surroundings are as pretty as they get. The menu features delightful twists on classic Southern fare.

Ever have a salad delivered in a bowl made of a slice of gourmet bread? Nor have we!

From the astounding garden decor to the flavorful food and exquisite atmosphere, The Palmetto Café is a sure win on your next excursion to Charleston. Concerned about parking in the historic district? Don't be! There are several parking garages located very nearby, and the restaurant offers valet parking!

The Palmetto Cafe is located in the Shops at Charleston Place inside the Belmond Charleston Place Hotel. It's open for breakfast and lunch.
