What People Say

Diners on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise the luxurious setting, flawless service, and exquisite tasting menus. Many highlight the restaurant as one of the best fine dining experiences in Memphis, perfect for special occasions. The wine list and dessert options also earn high marks, and guests love the convenience of dining right inside The Peabody hotel.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the spot for a quick bite or a casual burger—Chez Philippe leans toward the formal side. The price point is higher than many downtown options, and the “jacket preferred” dress code might not suit every concert-goer’s vibe. Also, because of its popularity and fine-dining pace, it's not ideal if you're short on time before a show—plan ahead.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking to pair your concert night with elegance, indulgence, and impeccable service, Chez Philippe is a standout choice in downtown Memphis.
