Passerelle is a beautiful place to dine on Greenville's tree-lined Main St. This French cafe overlooks Reedy River Falls, making it the top alfresco dining choice. For a relaxing brunch experience, accompanied by great food and a great view, look no further than Passerelle.
Brunch is the time to enjoy the lovely setting at Passerelle. You will have a better view of the park, plus it will be less crowded. And, not to mention, the menu is much cheaper at this time.
The menu is quite small and is noticeably missing a few French favorites. Nevertheless, there are enough offerings to choose amongst. First off, their coffee and espresso based drinks are great, so no need to go elsewhere. Enjoy a few refills of their house coffee and enjoy that prime view a bit longer.
For brunch, try the Passerelle Breakfast plate. This dish includes 2 eggs, potato croquette (so good!), and a toasted croissant. It's a great value at just 13 bucks. Update: now priced at $15 as of 2025.
Another delicious value is the Chicken Salad Croissant. This tasty little sandwich includes lettuce, tomato, scallions, currants, toasted walnuts, various herbs and seasonings, and smoked paprika aioli, all served on a delicious toasted croissant. The plate is served with a side salad and priced at just 13 bucks. Update: Now priced at $14 as of 2025.
Other recent brunch entrees have included a Vegetable Omelet, Croissants and Fresh Fruit, and Mussels Passerelle.
If you have any room left over, treat yourself to a coffee refill and the Chef's Pastry sampler. By far one of the best treats in all of Greenville, this tantalizing display includes an assortment of treats. It's huge too, so be prepared for leftovers. I am not a big fan of sweets, but I really this selection of treats.
Service can definitely be a hit or miss here. We have encountered both super friendly and downright rude waiters on multiple occasions. Hopefully you luck out as great service definitely improves the overall dining experience.
The beautiful setting is what sets Passerelle apart from all other popular restaurants lining Main Street. Passerelle offers an unparalleled setting next to the oasis of Greenville. Dining on French cuisine while surrounded by the lovely waterfall really places Passerelle near the top of my recommend al fresco dining experience on Main St. This is a great brunch date destination pick.
Passerelle Bistro is the perfect dining choice for anyone seeking a laid-back, delicious meal, in the company of fantastic scenery. Brunch is the best time to plan your visit as the pricing is a bit more budget friendly, plus the overall experience is so more relaxing.
