If you’re spending the day walking around the city of Charleston, South Carolina I definitely recommend stopping into Gaulart et Maliclet cafe restaurant for a mid-day snack. It’s also known as “fast and french” by locals and is a perfect place to stop and get a light lunch or snack.

I am an absolute sucker for anything with a French theme so there was no way I was going to pass up trying it out. It was hands down my favorite place in Charleston (and I only had a snack!).

You enter and are seated at a counter with other parties (very informal but it adds to the charm). There are daily lunch specials, soups and sandwiches, and of course wine.

We were just there for a snack so we each got a glass of the house wine (at about $3 a glass, although the lunch specials come with a glass of house wine), then we got goat cheese and smoked salmon on toasted bread with seafood soup, and goat cheese and olive spread on toasted bread.

I have to tell you, the goat cheese and olive spread on toast was unexpectedly one of the tastiest things I have ever had in my life! I was expecting it to be decent, but it was incredible!

The place was so cute that if I lived in Charleston I’d definitely be there on a weekly basis just for a snack and a taste of Europe Our bill came to only $17.
