https://www.citypapertickets.com/events/184523178/monthly-wine-dinner-at-39-rue-de-jean Inspired by the style of classic French Brasseries, the impeccable flavor, and European design lend an air of sophisticated comfort. Rue’s menu incorporates classic French staples with contemporary fare. Sample mussels in your choice of six different preparations followed by Steak Au Poivre, or savor Charleston’s favorite burger, ground in-house and served alongside hand-cut pommes frites. Our local guests refer to us as “Rue” and they know just how passionate we are about both our food and our service. We have been industry leaders since 2001 when the 39 Rue de Jean doors initially opened. Voted Best French Restaurant year after year by the Charleston City Paper, we are grateful to be a part of the Charleston Restaurant Community as well as the historic downtown community that we’re grateful to take part in.
