I can't believe I haven't eaten here before! I've been to Greenville plenty of times and have definitely seen this restaurant, so I'm not sure how I've missed it. We went around 4:30 on a Saturday, and it was pretty dead. There were a few people sitting outside, and we were actually the only people inside when we first got there. The vibe felt like they might have been switching shifts and getting ready for dinner service. The service was a little slow to start, and the woman who initially took our drink order was honestly a little rude. My friend asked her for a recommendation, and she just wasn't very helpful about it. No big deal, though, because our actual server for the rest of the meal was SO sweet and amazing. We had absolutely no complaints with her! But then the food came, and we were pleasantly surprised. The absolute showstopper was the truffle fries. All of us could not stop talking about how good they were. They were insanely crispy, the garlic aioli they came with was DELICIOUS, and they were so fresh when they came out. I would genuinely come back just for these. I also really enjoyed the chef's board. It gave us a lot of different things to pick and choose from, and the three of us were able to share the plates and the salad. We all left feeling full but not stuffed. Honestly, the perfect little girl dinner. Overall, I would absolutely come back, and I would order those fries a million times over. You HAVE to try them! read more

I love Passerelle every time I go and, as usual, this time did not disappoint! We had a group of 8 plus a dog and they accommodated us easily on the patio. It was hot, but they have lots of fans outside and the patio sits under gorgeous, giant trees with each table having its own umbrella to provide shade. I love sitting here and watching all the goings-on of the park. Inside is cozy and romantic. There is only one restroom, but if you've really gotta go, they are located close to public restrooms for Falls Park. There is also an elevator close by for accessibility. Besides the incredible ambiance, the food is why you come here! All French inspired, you can't go wrong. I got the goat cheese gnocchi and French onion soup. It's the second time I've had the gnocchi and I just love the creamy flavors and varying textures of the dish. The French onion soup is classic, cheesy, and exactly what you want it to be. Others in my party got the airline chicken, which was a big hit! If you're in search of a romantic date night spot or an outdoor place in the shade, consider Passerelle! read more

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!

Nice outdoor atmosphere when we ate here during the art and music festival. Nice weather for outdoor dining. Very friendly service, nice lunch menu. My dining mate had chicken salad on a croissant and a cappuccino, and I had French onion soup and a nicoise salad. All both tasty, nice portions, a bit pricey as this lunch was $64 sans tip. read more

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!! read more

Ordered the croque madame. Typical French, right? Should be gooey caramelized cheesy goodness. Not. Barely melted cheese slice inside, lightly cheesed sandwich top. Lots of rye bread. Disappointing. read more

Food was decent but a bit bland. We went during restaurant week and got the three course meal. They server brought the entree before we were done with our soups and salads. It made us feel a bit rushed which is the opposite experience you'd want at a french restaurant. The restaurant itself was clean and orderly. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The menu at 4pm is a bit limited and mostly French. The wine catalog is robust! We are on the patio with the sound of the waterfalls as our music! Our waitresses were all very nice and welcoming. I would love to come back if we ever make it to Greenville again. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Only downside were the bathrooms read more

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. read more

Beautiful Day... great view of the falls... we dined outside...pret great experience all around. You go to this bistro because of the location. You are right next to the falls in downtown Greenville SC. The menu is small but has enough items for everyone. The food was good but not spectacular. The prices were reasonable. The service was definitely chaotic but not to the point of being bad. They are busy. Our server forgot our beverages but when the food came remembered our drinks. Again, busy, and people were doing their best. I would recommend the bistro. The folks were pleasant and the ambiance is great. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I love the food, location, and service. I have never been disappointed here. Often recommending it for group events.

Food and bevs were yummy; accommodated a mocktail request that wasn't on the menu. Great location near park.

My now-husband proposed to me here the day after Valentine's Day (perfect!) and the staff secretly filmed it for him and did an incredible job of celebrating us afterward. Also our dinner was spectacular and the ambiance was perfectly romantic! As we started looking for wedding/reception venues and just not finding what we envisioned, we thought to ask what Passerelle offers, since we had such a great experience there. Fast forward to a beautiful outdoor wedding on their patio, cocktail hour inside, easy access to Falls Park for our photos, and a fantastic indoor/outdoor reception for our 70 guests. They did all set up and tear down and so many other details to make our day fun and simple, and of course the food and wine was divine! The owner Jen even made the cake! And you would be amazed at how affordable it was for this whole experience. I will be recommending Passerelle to any friends looking for a small wedding venue, and also to anyone wanting a relaxed fine dining experience. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
