Gaulart & Maliclet Fast and French Inc.

We had a very nice meal at Gaulart & Maliclet. We happened upon the restaurant last night on our way back to our VRBO and stopped in for desserts. Had a lemon torte and cheesecake. Both were delicious and we liked the vibe, so we canceled our reservations at one of Charleston's "famous" restaurants and made one here for this evening. We were not disappointed! I had the Bouillabaisse and Debbie had Coq au Vin. The meals came with wine, a selection of really good breads, and choice of soup or salad. I had beef and rice soup, which was really good. We sat at a Communal table and met nice couples from Columbia SC, NC, and NY and had great conversations. We thought the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely return the next time we are in Charleston!

Always a favorite for lunch or dinner

Stopped in for a late lunch and this place was perfect. Small, tight menu of French staples made with simple and good ingredients. Very nice wine options and a range of other smaller bites for an in between-meals bite.

We ordered two appetizers and two dinners. We waited awhile and were served dinner- no appetizers. We were very disappointed. Never got the appetizers unless we wanted them after dinner-world not go there again.

Second time there and won’t be back. Waiting 15 minutes for our order to be taken at the table in the back of a closet-like space. My husband’s food came about 15-20 minutes before mine so he was almost finished by the time mine arrived. Bland, unimaginative soup accompanied my average monte cristo.

Vegetarian options: Hard to find vegetarian options in Charleston. This was a good spot!

I just arrived in Charleston last night from Thailand. I never order a Cafe Ole but just did. I am having a hand pressed cafe ole and it is perfect. So smoothe! I was welcomed by Chris. The atmosphere is loving and cozy.
