Chez Nous: French Cuisine in the Heart of Austin

May 22, 2015 12:27 pm

Thirty years after three Parisians decided that Austin needed an authentic French eatery, Chez Nous is still serving delectable fare. This casual French bistro features a flavorful array of dishes, with expert service and a cozy, romantic ambiance.

Start your meal with a flavorful appetizer like Escargot de Bourgogne – sauteed snails with button mushrooms, Chevre Chaud Sur Canape– baked goat cheese on baguette, or Assiette de fromages – assorted cheeses with fresh fruit. The Salade Lyonnaise is a delectable choice, with lettuce, grape tomatoes, poached local farm egg and Dijon vinaigrette. Entree options include Entrecote bearnaise – grilled Ribeye with bearnaise sauce, Bar Cari – grilled striped bass with curry coconut milk sauce, and Cotes d’agneau Manon – grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops.

Chez Nous is open Tuesday through Sunday.
