18 Essential Restaurants in Columbia, South Carolina

"The menu is French-inspired, but it incorporates elements from all over the world. Recent specials included Moroccan beef “tacos” served with beef tallow crepes instead of traditional shells. Before the main course, let the knowledgeable staff recommend a wine to go with a tin of mussels or octopus, which are served with house pickles, sourdough baguette, and a small salad. The rooftop bar offers a view of downtown Columbia and an excellent selection of seasonal cocktails often featuring local ingredients, beer, and wine." - Anne Wolfe Postic
