18 Pinckney St, Charleston 29401 • 843-534-2433 |

Description:
MARKET. Set in a charming little historic house, Cru Cafe is usually packed with locals who enjoy the stylishly casual ambience and chef-owner (and Cordon Bleu graduate) John Zucker's amazingly inventive fare. Lunch options hit the mark – try the heaping Chinese chicken salad, a massive black angus burger, or the unique BLT piled high with shrimp. At dinner, small plates of walnut-stuffed baked brie or fried oysters are ideal precursors to sizzling steaks, seared duck or Thai seafood risotto. A couple of blocks off the beaten path, at the corner of Pinckney and Anson, it's less touristy than most places you'll find around the Market. |

Famously downhome and soulful, Jestine's is one of those rare restaurants whose appeal transcends economic, even cultural notions – that is, everybody from students to lawyers stops in to sip the sweet tea. As for the eats – fried okra, shrimp-n-grits, Coca Cola cake – word on the street is, "It's all good!" Great prices, too. |
