Felicia Suzanne's

Felicia Suzanne's stands as a crown jewel of Downtown Memphis dining, nestled in the vibrant South Main Historic Arts District at 383 South Main Street. This beloved restaurant, recommended in The MICHELIN Guide 2025, occupies a beautifully restored 1926 building that once housed the Fred P. Gattas store, where original brickwork and exposed wood ceilings tell stories of nearly a century past. The interior blends French bistro charm with Southern warmth—check-patterned tile floors, soft glowing lighting, and walls adorned with local artwork create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern. Chef Felicia Suzanne, a Johnson & Wales alumna who honed her craft under the legendary Emeril Lagasse in New Orleans, crafts menus that celebrate bold Southern flavors with refined technique. Signature dishes like hot sauce oysters and shrimp and grits have earned devoted followings among locals and visitors alike. Her husband Clay Schuchardt manages the front of house with the same dedication, ensuring every guest experiences genuine Southern hospitality. The restaurant offers dinner service and accepts reservations for this intimate dining experience. Whether you're exploring the nearby Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum or attending the monthly South Main Trolley Night art crawl, Felicia Suzanne's provides the perfect backdrop for celebrating Memphis' rich culinary heritage.
