Chez Philippe reemerges with a playful yet sophisticated new tasting menu featuring modern American cuisine with a French flourish. The seven-course pre-fixe menu unfolds as a culinary journey that celebrates local and sustainable ingredients and evolves through the seasons. The journey commences with a surprise for the palate and concludes with a bevy of petite sweets and a take-home treat. The Chez dining experience can be enhanced with a five-course wine pairing.
Chez Philippe is the MidSouth’s only Forbes Four-Star and AAA Four-Diamond rated restaurant and has been honored with the “Award of Excellence” from both Distinguished Restaurants of North America and Wine Spectator magazine.
Inventive French cuisine & many wines in The Peabody hotel’s opulent main dining room.

As soon as my husband and I checked in we asked the concierge if there were any possibility of getting a last-minute seating for their tea experience. She was doubtful, but told us to go across the lobby and ask directly. Hallelujah, they had room for us and it was amazing, starting with our adorable and perky server. She described each item for us, then left us alone to enjoy the deliciousness. Attentive service without hovering, very well done! Suffice it to say, everything on the table disappeared quickly, accompanied by each of our tea selections. It’s not inexpensive, but less so than other places I’ve been. Perfect for a lovely quiet afternoon!

The best dining experience I’ve had in Memphis ever. The food, service, and atmosphere are all perfect. The wait staff was top notch especially our waitress Courtney. Enjoyed our 4 course meal and a mingling of small bites that are second to none. The kitchen lead by head chef Keith was immaculate and the food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Would recommend to anyone looking to go out for that perfect evening!

My husband and I had the most AMAZING experience at Chez Philippe. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary this past weekend and everything about our experience was above and beyond. As we were paying, our sweet waitress brought us a gift with banana bread, a candle, and an anniversary card signed by all the waiters. We were absolutely blown away with the customer service. We will definitely be returning in the future!

We visited Chez Philippe in December for a birthday celebration and chose the seven-course tasting menu with wine pairings. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, polished, and attentive. We were welcomed with complimentary champagne, which was a lovely way to start the evening.
The ambience is elegant, European, and very refined. The presentation of each course was beautiful — every dish looked like a work of art. While the food was good, it wasn’t especially memorable for the price point, but the overall experience, service, and setting still made it a special night.
Since the birthday was noted on the reservation, this felt like a place that could have gone a little above and beyond with a small celebratory touch — even a candle or a simple birthday dessert would have made the evening feel more personal. We did receive a small take-home treat, which was a nice gesture.
Overall, Chez Philippe offers a lovely, elegant, and memorable dining experience, especially for a special-occasion evening.

This place deserves more than five stars. Located just behind the lobby bar inside the Peabody. Venue only has a dozen tables available. Staff are all very attentive and personable with conversation. After being seated I was blown away with the small gesture, they brought me a black napkin instead of the standard white to match my outfit. That set the bar for the evening. The attention to every detail in service by Joshua, presentation and taste of the food was wonderful. We came for a birthday celebration and it was the highlight of the trip.
We had the seven course, everything tasted better than the last, by the end we were so full we had to get our desserts to go. Mid course we were privately invited to the kitchen by chef Keith for an intermezzo. I took my phone to secretly record but I guess Joshua our waiter, thought I wanted a photo with the chef and I didn’t have the heart to tell him that was not my intention.
Chef Keith was very personable as well and provided a list of other local eateries he thought we might enjoy.
We were gifted cookies, a yuzu candle and there was a list of farm to table sources. All around wonderful experience.

I tried their afternoon tea. Peach blossom tea was perfect with honey, milk or sugar. The savory tarts were too rich and scone was too sweet with the jam and cream, but the service was amazing.

I haven’t yet had the opportunity to dine at Chez Philippe due to time constraints during my recent visit to The Peabody. However, I did have the pleasure of stopping by.
It was clear that Chez Philippe is an elegant and sophisticated restaurant. The ambiance is refined, with beautiful decor that sets the tone for a luxurious dining experience.
Even without dining, I could tell that this is a place where attention to detail and high-quality service are paramount. I look forward to planning a proper evening here on my next visit to The Peabody at Memphis.
If you’re looking for fine dining in a stunning setting, Chez Philippe should be on your list!

We have lived in Memphis for over 10 years, but this was our first time trying the four course tasting menu at Chez Philippe. I originally booked a table for four but was able to call in advance and change to six without any difficulty. The customer service was expectional. I have to say, our dinner last night far exceeded any expectations! Incredible service (Solomon was delightful) with perfect portions. Delicious food and beverage options! Our two kids joined us and were delighted with the children’s menu and drink options. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. We cannot wait to come back!

It’s been a long time since a restaurant has blown me away! This is more than incredible food to amaze the palate. It was so incredibly done that even my picky husband couldn’t get enough. He’s told everyone about the Elk cooked to perfection. The flavors paired with the wine choices were such a perfect match. The thought and talent that went into every detail was truly outstanding!! It’s more than just eye candy on a plate is truly art. It’s more than just another evening out on the town. It is a whole experience the everyone should be so blessed to enjoy. This city is so lucky to have Chef Keith and his incredible team showing up to perform, to perfect, to create, and to give every thing they have into giving you the experience of a lifetime. Get your reservation!! I promise you- you’ll thank me.

I wish to give a million stars, I had the 7 course tasting menu along with the wine. I was greeted by Maitre d Glenn very warm inviting establishment. My waiter was Josh very knowledgeable, professional, friendly. The decor was fabulous and historic, like the painting in the opera box were watching. Food very flavorful, whimsical and attention to detail. Chef Keith is a true master and his team,wonderful people. I will mention Lexi,James and Will and apologize if I left anyone out. Chef came to my table to introduce a course and then I was invited back to the kitchen for a surprising treat. It was truly an honor and privilege to meet all the fine people. I highly recommend this place, make a reservation if you skip this place you will miss out of an amazing experience. The plates and plating were amazing. Thank you for an impeccable experience. I loved the elk never had it but now will search for it. I just refer to menu for adequate descriptions.
