The Wine Program
Named for the French word for "footbridge" and tucked into the banks of the Reedy River beneath Liberty Bridge, Passerelle offers the most romantic setting of any restaurant in Greenville. The wine program is deeply French: extensive Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Loire, and Rhône selections alongside southern French and Provençal wines. They run a Wine Club where you buy five reserve bottles and get the sixth at 25% off.
The Experience
Classic bistro fare: mussels, croque monsieur, steak frites. Entrées stay at mid-range pricing. Weekend brunch with French 75s on the patio overlooking the falls is the best morning wine moment in Greenville. The all-French approach gives the list coherence that broader programs sometimes lack.
Why Wild Card
A restaurant that commits fully to French wine in a Southern city is a deliberate choice. The setting amplifies the experience: French wine, French food, river views. The Wine Club adds a retention hook for regulars. Not the deepest list in town, but the most focused.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Passerelle marries an all-French wine list with the most beautiful dining setting in Greenville. Focused, coherent, and romantic. Weekend brunch with Champagne overlooking the falls is the play.
