About Chez Nous French Restaurant

The Three Faces of Chez Nous French Restaurant

Acclaimed French Cuisine

Chez Nous is a chef-driven restaurant, with owner and chef Gerard Brach working in the kitchen alongside Executive Chef Stacy Crowe-Simonson. Both have trained and worked in France, exporting time-honored classical techniques to Humble, Texas. The team constructs rich foie gras with caramelized apples and dijon-rosemary-crusted lamb—all made with veggies and herbs picked fresh from the backyard garden. With these commitments to freshness and technique, it’s no wonder that even after more than 30 years Chez Nous still garners praise, whether in the form of multiple Citysearch awards or a spot on OpenTable’s 2013 list of the top 100 restaurants in the country.

Chef-Curated Wine List

Although Chez Nous’s former sous chef Scott Simonson now spends most of his time at the front of the house or huddling over wine catalogues, he’s completely comfortable slipping back into the kitchen when needed. This intimate knowledge of Chez Nous’ cuisine gives Scott an edge when stocking the house wine cellar—he knows just what culinary flavors to draw out with his carefully selected pairings.

Romantic Setting

Zagat notes that you just might see a fellow diner pop the question at one of Chez Nous’ white-clothed tables. This makes perfect sense, given the restaurant’s location inside a former church. Combined with the first-rate cuisine, Chez Nous’s quaint country dining room, which features wicker chairs and light-blue accents, make it well worth the 20-minute drive from Houston.
