Passerelle Bistro

I dined at Passerrelle Bistro during Restaurant Week, and while it was my first visit, it certainly will not be my last. Restaurant Week proved to be a perfect introduction to the menu. I started with the petite salad, while my uncles enjoyed the French onion soup. Every starter was thoroughly enjoyed. For the main course, two of us ordered the grilled teres major, which was absolutely delicious! Perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Another dish at the table was the goat cheese gnocchi, which received no complaints either. Everything was executed beautifully. Dessert truly sealed the experience. We shared the apple cranberry cobbler and the chocolate torte, and both were outstanding. The desserts were easily a highlight of the evening. The service was excellent from start to finish, adding to an already enjoyable dining experience. By the end of the meal, we all agreed that we would definitely be returning. Restaurant Week was a great way to discover Passerrelle Bistro, and I look forward to dining there again soon

Loved this place!! The French onion soup was made to perfection. Not too salty not too many onions or bread just perfect. It was the best soup I have had! The crab cake sandwich was delicious it was the special of the day. The fries came out nice hot and crispy. Of course the fun cocktails were also delicious as well as fun! They had a chai based cocktail... Yummy! All topped off with outstanding service by Sheridan! Did I mention it was also pet friendly patio? If I only lived here I would visit this restaurant often! Keep up the good job! All the staff was very friendly! Please recognize them as doing an outstanding job! Also compliments to the chef and the bartender.

Thought we would have a drink, lovely view! We decided to look at the menu! It turned out to be a wonderful experience! Sally had a pear and goat cheese salad that was delicious! I had a hamburger and fries! Also delicious! Our server, Judy, was very nice, and very efficient! See the falls, have lunch, and enjoy a wonderful day!

This is the best French restaurant in downtown Greensville. The food is delicious and perfectly seasoned. The waitstaff are polite and friendly. The calm atmosphere, with French music in the background, makes you feel like you’re in Paris. Highly recommended for everyone who love good food.

I was looking for a yummy French onion soup for lunch and found it! Service was excellent and our waitress Maida even went above and beyond when she realized it was my birthday. Highly recommend!

The wife and I came here for our anniversary. To start out, I got the expresso old fashion and the wife got the French 75 and we got an order of truffle frites as an appetizer. The expresso old fashion was good but it was more coffee like than old fashion like. If you prefer a traditional old fashion, I suggest the cherry old fashion. The truffle frites were amazing and the garlic aoli made them even better. For entrees, I got the Steak potatoe hash and the wife got the Croque madame. The steak was cooked a perfect medium and the potatoes and peppers were soft, warm, and full of flavour. Everything complimented each other. For dessert we got the cheese cake and the bread pudding. The cheese cake was delicious and the walnut crust was my favorite part of it. The bread pudding was my favorite, the bread was moist and warm which paired amazingly with the cold ice. It was simply just a fantastic taste. I highly recommend the bread pudding. Judy was our server and she was absoultely amazing the whole time. She was attentive to us, super positive, and very friendly. She definitely was a part of making our anniversary brunch amazing. We both agreed that everything was amazing and we will definitely be back again.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we booked, the staff went above and beyond, welcoming us with champagne at our table and a card signed by the entire team, such a thoughtful touch. For appetizers, we both had the soup du jour, a creamy mushroom soup that was absolutely delicious. Our entrées, the quiche du jour and mussels Passerelle, were cooked to perfection, and dessert was the highlight. I enjoyed the dark chocolate-chambord torte while my husband had the crème brûlée. Both were outstanding and the perfect ending to our meal. Our server, Brianna, was wonderful, attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was just right. The food was exceptional (compliments to the chef!) and the prices very reasonable for the quality and experience. Thank you for making our anniversary so special. We will absolutely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a fantastic lunch here again! The service was excellent and the food was amazing! Always a great place to eat! We stopped in for lunch & so glad we did! Our server, Maida, was just lovely and did a fantastic job! The food was absolutely delicious.

Had a really enjoyable Sunday dinner at Passerelle Bistro in Greenville. We were the only ones sitting inside, which made the experience feel cozy, and the incredible aromas coming from the kitchen were the first thing to win us over. The atmosphere is charming, and the food was solid--good enough that we're definitely interested in coming back, but still leaving a little room for that next-level impression. Next time, we'll probably go for the outdoor seating and try the brunch menu to get a better feel for their full style. Overall, a great spot with a lot of promise, and I'm looking forward to giving it another go.

Hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and the food was absolutely delicious. We had duck and steak and the escargot. Which my wife would never try normally but she said it was one of the best things she has ever had. I also am not a bread pudding fan but theirs with the fresh croissant is one of my favorite desserts now. The service was amazing as well with them treating us to dessert after finding out it was our honeymoon. Truly thankful as it helped make it an even more special experience. Now the vibes were perfection as well. Being able to hear the river and being right downtown outside allowed us to watch everyone enjoying their time and it was just wholesome all in all. Make sure you go here and have the bread pudding you won't regret it!!

Pros: Dim lighting inside Cute presentation Food is slightly above average Good location Cons: Expensive considering the quality and easiness to prepare the food Food is not amazing, but still good I'm interested in trying this place out during dinner instead of brunch. The drinks were good, but overpriced considering the simple ingredients. The food is good (but not wow amazing) and filled everybody up. Thin mint cheesecake was 6/10. We all agreed that the middle layer just wasn't that good, but the topping and the crust were yummy.

Parisian Brunch at Passerelle Bistro overlooking Falls Park in downtown Greenville. There was a 35 min wait to eat outside so we decided to eat inside. Our waitress was friendly and gave excellent recommendations. The French martini was my favorite and the sauce on the mussels was incredible! Plenty of street parking available and we enjoyed walking by the water after our meal. Cocktails French Martini Cranberry Mimosa Chardonnay Brunch French Toast Monte Cristo Passerelle Benedict Mussels Passerelle Truffle Fries Bistro Burger

Solid! I had a great sandwich. It's a great place to stop and chat with friends or enjoy the falls.

Yummy! Had the mussels. Excellent sauce. Fresh. Nice salad. Yummy omelette for brunch. Nice portions. Attentive service. Pleasant view from enclosed porch. Watching all the local doggos going by.Very nice experience. Would return again when in town.

I was in Greenville for a conference and wanted to explore downtown. It was a beautiful afternoon so I sought out a restaurant with outdoor dining and after reading reviews for Passerelle Bistro I thought it would be the perfect spot. I made a reservation for one at 7:30 PM on a Friday, so I thought I might get snubbed taking a table for just myself on a popular night. I felt that the staff was more than welcoming and even saw another person dining alone, so don't be nervous to go alone! My waitress brought me a couple wine samples when I couldn't decide and was very friendly to me. I started with the crunchy bread, which is from a local bakery. This was probably my favorite part of the meal. My main course was the steak frites, which was just okay. The cut of meat was pretty tough and my potatoes felt undercooked a bit. I got the creme brulee for dessert which was also average. The food wasn't the best but the ambiance and service was on point. They stayed busy so it is definitely a popular establishment in Greenville.

Loved, loved, LOVED this place! Cannot say more good things about it- perfect spot to dine near the Falls. Service was quick and prices were inexpensive. Most importantly, food was delicious. A must if you're in town!

The mussels were delicious and my husband loved his chicken salad croissant. The setting is picturesque. I'd you sit on the patio you can see the river and listen to the falls. Service is warm and friendly, and we had a wonderful special lunch here.

Husband brought me to this beautiful spot located in downtown Greenville. Highly recommend having a reservation for quick seating, they do allow walk ins. Service was impeccable. We got seated on the patio with probably the best view at the restaurant. The day we went we heard someone playing live music outdoors which added to the ambiance. Food is heavy so come hungry. There are lighter options to eat on the menu. If food coma hits, the restaurant is situated right along the pathways so one can walk off the calories.

We had such a wonderful time here! The weather was so nice, a perfect day for brunch! On the walk to the restaurant, at the bottom of the stairs, there was a troubadour playing songs we all know and l love. Then at the restaurant we were greeted with a smiling face and immediately sat at a table overlooking the falls. There was a bit of a chill in their air but the space heaters balanced that out. I ordered a latte with Baileys and my husband got an Irish Coffee. We were also served waters with our own carafe which is always appreciated! For our meal, there were so many enticing options on the menu, it was hard to narrow down. But ultimately we decided on the following: Crispy Goat Cheese phyllo, blueberry & lavender jam, candied walnuts, citrus gel Parisian Ham & Gruyere Omelette* pickled red onions, dressed green salad French Toast Monte Cristo ham, brie, blueberry & lavender jam, brioche french toast, powdered sugar, frites Everything was delicious! Afterwards we took a stroll across the bridge back and got lots of great pictures!

Excellent! (at a painful time for me) I went to Passerelle to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was her favorite place in Greenville, and she had died 4 months earlier. The owners knew us and they seated me (alone) at our favorite table - the corner table outside overlooking the waterfalls. It was a busy night, but everyone was so kind to me. Thank you. You have helped me through a very difficult time. To my surprise, one of the other patrons anonymously paid for my dinner. I didn't think I was sitting there crying, but they must have noticed something odd. If nothing else, an individual patron taking up the best table in the house on a busy night. In any case, I sincerely appreciate your kindness, whoever you are. Thank you. This place is a gem.

We made reservations for 7 for brunch before heading to peace center. We were seated right away. Started with the croissant and fruit basket. The croissants were soft and buttery and the fig jam complimented it well. For entree ordered the monte cristo with disco fries. The monte cristo was good great balance between savory and sweet. Fries were seasoned well and enjoy the hollandaise and cheese on the fries. Would definitely return.

Came here for lunch on a weekday and had a wonderful time! The pitcher of water at the table was a nice touch, especially on a hot day. My partner had the croque monsieur and my sibling had the lunch burger - both thought they were amazing and not too heavy. I just munched on some fries which I found good also.

Visiting the area on a Monday for lunch. Tables by the edge already reserved so no looking at the waterfall. But we had a nice table with a nice breeze. Our waitress was Dianne and she was very good, attentive and friendly. Had red pepper soups, salad with shrimp, Grilled Cheese that came with salad and tomato soup and the Croque Monsieur with French fries. All the food was tasty. I would have not had the grilled cheese on such a thick bread and my salad needed just a touch more dressing. The cup of soup is large. We thought it was a bowl of soup. The croque monsieur was good but it did not appear to have been grilled and very little ham. Yet, again, the food was tasty. The atmosphere is what sold us. And we appreciated the waitress attention to detail. My brother had a French Martini and it was yummy. Total cost for three people (two had water) was $84 plus a tip. 6/17/24

I love to try new things, but I just can't help going back to Passerelle Bistro time and again. We were drawn there first because the view of Reedy Falls in downtown Greenville is beautiful and soothing. It's the food and service, however, that have kept us coming back. Tonight's pesto arancini and duck breast were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Kudos to Darcy- this evening's manager- for sharing the secret of her French 75 cocktail. I can't wait for the rhubarb shrub she teased is coming soon!

Visiting Greenville this weekend. We came across Passerelle Bistro after walking over the bridge. Beautiful setting. It was cool enough to sit outside. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious Would recommend to all. The Brie and crostini was delicious as was my Arugula Salad. My guest had the Boulibaisse which he found to be excellent! Only downside were the bathrooms

We've been here twice over the last year, both times while riding from Travelers Rest on the bike trail. It's the perfect spot for lunch while on a bike ride, hike or just sightseeing downtown. The view is amazing, the service prompt and attentive and the food is excellent. I had the BLT which comes on amazing bread. My wife always gets the quiche of the day.

Just stopped by here for some water and a rose spritz , was refreshing on a hot sunny day. With a great view. Want to try the food next time I'm in town

We waited for 10 minutes and still didn't get our mineral water. We decided to leave and went to Between The Trees. Much better flair and attentive staff. Never again.

My husband and I went here during restaurant week and it was amazing! I had the crab artichoke dip, swordfish, and espresso torte. He got the arancini, short rib, and crumble. We also got a glass of cab franc and merlot cab. All of it was full of flavor. The artichoke dip came with a naan bread and had a good amount of artichoke/crab. The swordfish was very tender and came with a great creamy sauce. The chocolate torte had an espresso cream with it and was pretty good too. Service was great and it has a cute environment.

Loved being here! Sitting out on the patio when the sun is out gives you that definite French bistro vibe. Great service, dog friendly, amazing dishes, with a view you can't beat. Must try!

This place is so amazing that we had lunch and dinner here. The service is excellent and the knowledge of wine is spot on. My husband doesn't typically like French food, but he was so impressed because they not only have French food but they have some dishes with a Cajun French flair. And our server Vickie was the bomb!!!

Such a lovely French bistro with a fantastic menu and great staff. We went in October and sat outside for their brunch menu. The monte cristo was superb! Their location by the falls provides a nice pre or post-meal stroll through the park. If you're lucky, a street performer will be nearby putting the cherry on top of your patio dining experience!

We ate here for our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was amazing! It is so peaceful. Our server was phenomenal! I truly think it was the best service we have ever had! The food was so good. I wish we lived in Greenville so that we could come more often. We started with the crusty bread and the mussels. Both were amazing! For the entrees, my husband had the steak frites, and I had the trout with herb potatoes and brussel sprouts. They were both perfect! I really would not have changed one thing! Dessert was crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. Again, both were amazing! It could not have been better! I highly recommend this restaurant. Eat outside, if the weather is nice.

Service was great, food came out fast and was banging. The overall vibe of the restaurant was on point and it is a great place for a date night.

This is one of my favorite spots in Greenville. I like to stop by for breakfast/brunch after a walk on the Greenway. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food is always well cooked and the servings are plentiful. When in Greenville stop by, you won't regret it.

Beautiful day for lunch on the patio at PASSERELLE BISTRO!!! Mussels and cheeseburgers were so delicious!!! Well prepared!!! Rebecca was our super friendly and professional server who provided us with excellent service today!!! We really enjoyed our dining experience at PASSERELLE! It's fun to play tourist in my beautiful city of Greenville!!!

Wonderful environment, food was delicious, and service excellent. Can't imagine a more relaxing experience.

For the ambiance alone, Passerelle Bistro would automatically rate 5 stars for me. A very nice patio area perched above Falls Park with a great view, it was a pleasure taking in the space ( and we weren't even seated along the rail; it's just a fine spot ). While we didn't choose to sit inside, the space looks very nice and enjoyable. Next time. After a walk along the park, taking in the falls and riverwalk we decided to find some refreshment here. The hostess greeted us immediately and found a nice table for two on the patio. Our server, Jensen, was great; warm and friendly she got us set up and under way. While I didn't take the time to peruse it properly, let me say that the wine list is pretty extensive, at least the bottle selection. By-the-glass options are a tad limited but excellent. Though I don't remember the vineyard, we enjoyed a pretty tasty Cabernet Franc that I will have to track down once I get home. As for our food choices, I went with the Soup of the Day, a nice sausage and vegetable soup / gumbo and a side of crusty bread that was just perfect for a slightly chilly afternoon. My better half chose Grilled Cheese and Tomato Fondue that I will have to order next time if I'm back in Greenville ( and I home I'll get the chance! ). So I'd have to say, if you find yourself in the amazingly charming Downtown Greenville do yourself a favor and make the short climb up the stairs from the falls and find yourself a table at Passerelle Bistro. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Friday's bridal luncheon to celebrate the bride to be. This was the cutest little French bistro tucked away in downtown Greenville, SC. Right beside the river walk and in the center of downtown.

We walked by this place several times the last couple of days. Today we decided to try it. My husband had the Bouillabaise and I had the mussels. Both were absolutely delicious and came with just the right amount of perfectly toasted bread. We split the crème brûlée and he had an espresso. The service was great. Our waitress kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Great location at the top of Falls Park.

We ordered soup, Steak frites and Seared T-Bone lamb chops! First of all, the portion size were very small compared to price of the dishes! $37 for 3 small pieces of lamb chops doesn't make sense! And $32 for some pieces bad pieces of steak doesn't make any sense! The meats were too low quality, dry and tasteless! Honestly, this is to me a trap! Only plus is that they have outdoor seating by the falls park! Other than that I wouldn't really recommend any food here!

We had the brussel sprouts appetizer and it was outstanding!!! The service was fantastic- Holly really made our dinner special. We sat outside overlooking the river and falls. Just beautiful!! The entrees- salmon and lamb were off the charts GREAT!!!! The Chef was on Beat Bobby Flay and she is making wonderful food!!! When in Greenville go here - it's a special place!!

Quaint little restaurant in a prime location to enjoy outdoor seating and catching a glimpse of the waterfall. We ordered a round of drinks consisting of the margarita and gin cocktails. Everyone seemed to enjoy. The bread and appetizers were good. The trout was my selection for the night. Flavorful yet simple would be the perfect description of the entree.

Service - Male host very nice and efficient Wait Staff - Very good. Efficient. Plenty of water and didn't interrupt our discussions. Very team oriented which we love. What would we order again? Niscoise Salad - A perfect amount of dressing. The tuna was lovely as was the rest of the salad. What would we not order again? Chicken Salad on a Croissant - Croissant wasn't flakey and the chicken salad bland.

We came here hoping for an enjoyable date night with family but unfortunately our plans were spoiled. I'm amazed that a place like this can stay in business when the only thing going for it is the view. Our waitress was attentive in the beginning but as our meal progressed, her service began to fall off. Also the food runner was incredibly unprofessional as she basically threw our plates down on the table. We had 2 orders of escargot which seemed to be prepared by different people. One order had 10 pieces and the other had 7. They were smothered in a cream based sauce and very salty. Each of us ordered a different entree with 3 of us ordering red meat, one lamb and 2 seafood dishes. None of the steaks were cooked to our desired temperature. The Bouillabaisse had several mussels that were spoiled and tasted like sewage, the fish was overcooked, and the shrimp were like chewing gum. The other 2 dishes were edible but nothing spectacular. We mentioned the Bouillabaisse tasting bad to our waitress yet it was still left on our bill. The view is not worth the food poisoning! Do yourself a favor and enjoy the multitude of other great restaurants in Greenville!

What a cute place for dinner. We ate here with a group of 8 and 3 of us ordered the Bouillabaisse b it was fantastic! All others enjoyed. Their salads and trout. Great service and they also let us split checks.

Love the outdoor atmosphere, food is delicious , service no complaints and plus it's doggie friendly outdoor. Love it here.

This place has been on my list try for a while now and the food was good. I thought this was a high class place but it's decently casual. I'm glad I dressed down some before coming here. We sat outside and it was the perfect day for it. I did think it was strange the hostess did not ask if we prefer inside or outside though. I'm just glad it was not a sweltering hot day since we were placed outside. Our server was good. She seemed a little too preoccupied with something else but she checked on us and we never had to wonder where she was. I ordered the muscle and red snapper dish and it was good. The prices were decent enough and I feel like I got enough bang for my buck. I would maybe go back on a nice spring day to enjoy the view.

We had a wonderful meal outside. The service was excellent. Tuesday night was a great day of the week, there were two other tables besides us. Started with the Mussels Passerelle, the sauce was very flavorful. We ordered the Crusty Bread too. The mussels were excellent and perfect. The extra bread was a bonus to dip into the mussels broth. Definitely recommend them. For our mains we both got the Steak Frites. Both steaks were cooked correctly and a nice quality of meat. Fries were great and crispy. The bordelaise sauce was great to dip the fries in. A very enjoyable meal.

What a delightful bistro. They have perfect location over looking waterfall. The food was delicious and OMG the drinks were incredible. Hats off the bar manager. Service was impeccable. We enjoyed hanging out and not being rushed. Beautiful place. Definitely for a romantic date!

Had a delicious chicken sandwich without the bread. Even though not a big portion of food I would still return for another visit. Sitting on the patio is very nice and relaxing. The waitress was very friendly also but everyone that walked by table was very nice.

The croissants are FAKE. They are just bread in the shape of a croissant. And they were stale. And they were terrible. The watermelon salad was disgusting. It was not fresh. Small bits of overripe watermelon. Too much vinegar in the dressing. The omelette had no seasoning. How can you mess up an omelette. It was tasteless. Even the potatoes were bad. This place was a huge letdown. The only thing positive was the outside seating by the waterfall.

Service was fantastic and the food was great. I had the steak and frites, which I thought tasted good and had a large portion. The ambiance is really nice along the water as well.

We went on Valentine's Day so I think the service was a little off, but very crowded and busy. The kitchen is exposed and that evening it was very smoky in the restaurant. Again, I think they overbooked and squeezed too many people in and overloaded their grills. We left smelling like smoke and meat which was disappointing especially on Valentine's Day. The burger was awesome.

We went there for lunch during the weekday. We made reservation online through OpenTable the day of with many availability. Food: 3.5/5 foods are just okay. Nothing stood out or impressive. The portion size is good for the prize. Out of all the things we ordered, I like the mussels the best. Server: 4/5 very friendly and quick service Atmosphere: 5/5 cannot beat the location right inside the park. I think it is a great spot for a date

Great food and great views. We made our lunch reservations about two weeks prior and in glad we did because we were able to get an excellent view. The staff was also nice and attentive. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Greenville.

Let me explain. I feel there are two types of restaurant goers. Those that love the food alone and want the best wine, apps, entre, and grade everything based on taste. And then there are those who lean more toward the experience of eating out, the atmosphere, the look, the feel of the place. I struggled between 3 and 4 stars. Settled on 4 for 4 reasons: One: BIG star for staff. They deserve 5 stars on staff alone. Our waitress Kali was amazing. She was attentive, friendly, had great recommendations, and just a pleasure. TWO: BIG star for atmosphere. Adorable little set up by the waterfall. The breeze coming off the water and sounds of the falls is perfect. It was clean, cute, well-kept, no spiders on the umbrellas or overhang, and the ground was outside, yet still very clean. THREE: BIG star for taste. Well, at least my taste. I ordered the croque monsieur and it was decent! But my boyfriend ordered the bistro burger and said it tasted like shrimp? Odd. FOUR: you can see from the photo that the plate is very large, perhaps they could bring smaller plates to make it look like there are more fries to fill the space? Presentation wasn't really up to 5 star quality and we each had about 25 fries on the plate. Which was plenty, but looked a little funny on such a big setting. They were also (not their fault) waiting on mussels to be delivered for the day. Mussels is one of their main entrees and we had lunch around 1pm. I'm sure that hurt a tad as I heard at LEAST 6 people around us try to order them. I did feel price was fair for what we got, but although I thought my lunch was decent, it wasn't mind-blowing (the bread was impossible to cut with only a butter knife, and the cheese was on a little thin.) And my boyfriend barely ate half the burger since he couldn't handle the taste of shrimp. All in all, it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a disaster by any means! It seems like a great place to go for an appetizer and glass of wine on a nice spring day with girlfriends. And I am definitely one who goes to restaurants for the experience and atmosphere, which was lovely.
