Malagón Mercado y Taperia

Spanish · ★ Michelin

Don't be fooled by this unassuming spot off King Street; Malagón is a find. It's a small space with an appealing old-world ambience, where shelves are stocked with wines and imported produce and an open kitchen offers a peek at the goings-on. Chef Juan Cassalett's tapas-focused, Spanish menu has a clear spark. Nothing is overcomplicated, and there is beauty in the precision in dishes like fried rabbit leg with a savory crème fraîche dipping sauce and la bomba de la Barceloneta, with diced pork stuffed inside mashed potato and then fried. It's all deceptively simple and deliciously surprising,

Wild Common

American Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Chef Orlando Pagán's tasting menu is far from common, and while upgrades like caviar eggs Benedict and wagyu are indeed available, there's nothing standard here. From the price (less than $100) and the focus on local ingredients to the wildly creative dishes with a global bent, this is fine dining injected with a bit of fun. Pho with carrot kimchi or hamachi crudo with coconut and kumquat may kick off the meal before roasted carrot and walnut tortelli with carrot fondue and browned butter whey foam, and entrees like dry-aged New York strip with a polenta cake and king trumpet mushrooms. In yet

Vern's

American Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$

The husband-and-wife team of Daniel and Bethany Heinze have created one of Charleston's most popular spots. Reservations at Vern's are highly coveted, though some may try their luck at the handful of bar seats saved for walk-ins. Charleston may be a dressed-up town, but inside this hotspot, it's more homey than fussy, with rich wood floors and tables set with flickering candles. Lowcountry ingredients are championed on a menu that reflects Chef Heinze's travels. It all shifts with the seasons but items like charred sourdough with allium butter or raw yellowfin tuna with Calabrian chili are dyn

Leon's Oyster Shop

Seafood · Bib

When the garage doors are up, doors and windows wide open, and the breeze blowing right through, this oyster bar has few equals. Naturally, the seafood is well-sourced at what once was a filling station. But what draws us in again and again are the small culinary twists that go a long way. A hearty smoked mahi mahi dip comes with, of all things, fried saltine crackers. A stunning shrimp roll is tossed with slivers of seedless jalapenos, garnished with crushed potato chips, and stuffed into toasted brioche. Marinated in hot sauce, brined in buttermilk, and seasoned with Old Bay, the fried chick

Rodney Scott's BBQ

Barbecue, Regional Cuisine · Bib

Note: Temporarily closedLike the very line of people waiting to get in, a thick haze of sweet smoke wraps around this handsome brick building. Rodney Scott’s whole-hog barbecue is a rite of passage for anyone who lives in or visits South Carolina, though true fans will drive 1.5 hours north to the original in Hemingway. Scott has hog in his blood: His parents raised them and opened a variety store and restaurant in 1972. The menu today is expansive, but the real gem is the pulled pork, which arrives soft as cotton candy, ready to be sopped in an electric sauce of vinegar, lemon juice, and spic

Lewis Barbecue

Barbecue · Bib

A mural of a steer watches over the parking lot with the words “All Hail the King” in bold lettering, and firewood stacked to the roof overlooks a gravel patio set with picnic tables. A thick haze of smoke wafts in the air. Welcome to Texas by way of the Lowcountry. John Lewis, who earned a name for himself when he opened LA Barbecue in Austin, has brought with him all things smoke and beef. Beautiful, near-melting slivers of brisket and the weekend-only beef rib are essential orders, sold by the pound and sliced in front of you at the counter. Sides like green chili corn pudding and potato sa

This Charleston favorite has been at it for more than two decades, but judging by the demand, you’d think they had just opened. Reservations are a hot ticket, and crowds hoping to grab a walk-in seat line up before the front door opens. Despite its age, the food feels anything but dated. This is a kitchen that knows itself, its position in the South and its place in the Lowcountry. Seafood is a strength, and the slow-baked red snapper is a good example of this; here plated with a classic sauce Américaine and wilted heirloom spinach. The chicken liver pâté is accompanied by turnip remoulade and

American, Southern

$$$

Open since 2011, the enduring legacy of this Southern restaurant continues to draw in waves of diners. Reservations are scarce, and before doors open, crowds form on the sidewalk hoping to snag a table inside this historic, two-story house. But make no mistake, this kitchen isn’t resting on any laurels. The menu is full of Southern favorites prepared with notable care: pimento cheese with country ham and biscuits, cornbread, fried catfish. Pies, cakes and a generous dose of warm hospitality make for a complete experience at this Southern staple.
