Chez Nous

Winner: Best Wine List 2006

  • Wine list
  • Wine appreciation dinners
  • French cuisine

Chez nous has amassed a remarkable number of awards- Zagat Survey's "America's Top Restaurants 1994-2006", Highest Food rating in Houston 2006, Gourmet Magazine's "America's Top Tables Selection", Guide to the Best Restaurants in America, Mobil Travel Guide's "Quality Rated", Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence", Wines and Spirit's "Hall of Fame 1998-2006" and the list continues. Our menu includes- Gulf Shrimp Provencale sautéed with garlic, herbs, tomato and lemon.

Chef Gerard Brach got his culinary training at the French Riviera near Monaco and on this side of the Atlantic at The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City. He spent the seventies as a successful restaurant consultant yet "missing the action in the kitchen" as he puts it. In 1984 he sold his company and "for the fun of it," opened Chez nous in an old Pentecostal church in Humble.

Editorial Review for Chez Nous – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
Located in Humble (northeast of Bush airport), this modestly remodeled frame church has been a bastion of fine dining for several years. The rustic interior could stand some refreshing, but that, along with the tuxedoed young serving staff's explain-it-all-cordiality, is part of the quaint appeal.

The Food
Taking its cue from classic French cuisine, the usual suspects--like chateaubriand, foie gras, vichyssoise and escargot anchor the menu, but expect a couple of entrees and a half dozen appetizers to change each evening. A succulent rack of lamb, carved at your table, in a nutty port reduction is a standout. Sesame-crusted salmon's satisfying, if not as striking as other entrees. A potato and goat cheese Charlotte cleverly adapting the conventional dessert form to an appetizer gets high points, as does a lavender-laced version of crème brulee.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Consistently the best service in Houston, and we've been to them all. There is not another top-rated restaurant in Houston in a league with them in terms of service. One of the big differences is, you don't have to be a regular to be treated well, the way you do at so many of the other places. Our child is welcome there also, she has dined with us there since the age of six (but she's quiet and well-behaved).

Pros: Ambiance, service, food

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We live in France and spend a month in Houston every year, we have been doing this since 1998, that is how long we have known Chez nous, we never miss a chance to visit it and it never misses a beat. The food is glorious, much better than most restaurants in Paris, the service attentive yet restrained, the atmosphere cozy and campy. Their unlikely location in a residential area in Humble speaks volume of their confidence, they know they are worth the trip!

Pros: fantastic restaurant, great attention to details and seasons

Cons: hard to find for first timers
