About Chez Philippe - The Peabody Memphis
The Spotlight on Chez Philippe - The Peabody Memphis

Elegant Dining in the Heart of Downtown Memphis

Located inside the iconic Peabody Memphis hotel, Chez Philippe is a refined destination for Contemporary American cuisine with French influences. With its grand chandeliers, white tablecloths, and attentive service, this is Memphis fine dining at its most classic. Just a short walk from major concert venues and Beale Street, it’s an excellent pick for music lovers looking to elevate their evening.

Why Concert-goers love it

Chez Philippe is ideal for concert-goers who want to start their night with sophistication. Its central location means you're just minutes from top venues, while the serene and elegant atmosphere offers a quiet contrast to the high-energy night ahead. The service is known to be efficient and professional, perfect for those on a schedule. If you're making a weekend of it, dining here feels like part of the show. Reservations are recommended, especially on busy event nights.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Couples seeking a romantic pre-show dinner with candlelight and ambiance

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.
