Why You'll Love It

There’s a reason Chez nous is Zagat’s Top French Restaurant in Houston. And it’s not just the lovely setting or the lavish French flavors—the trio of owners is what makes Chez nous shine. For 27 years, these two chefs and a sommelier have ensured their restaurant remains sans égal.

Roses, toile, and unmistakable je ne se quois won Chez nous its title of Most Romantic from Houston’s OpenTable members. Then there’s Chef Gerard Brach’s years of experience and Chef Stacy Crowe-Simonson’s undeniable talent, which make for standout dishes.

But don’t just believe the hype. Taste the shallot-herb butter with escargot or tenderloin drizzled with béarnaise sauce, and see for yourself—it’s all true.
