Angie DavilaJanuary 5, 2017Beautiful place! I went with my boyfriend and we both ordered the fix-price menu and was excellent, even the bread they serve you is so good! Also the service is great, you feel welcomed.
Austin ChronicleJune 17, 2013This charming bistro transplants guests to the heart of France. The prix-fixe menu gets you three courses, with plenty of options in each. Unpretentious and respectful, and most of all, delicious.
Kambiz ShabankareSeptember 12, 2013If you have been in France or any French cafe in Europe. You will find this place nostalgic and takes you to the amazing time you had in there. Those who work there are polite and they are with you.
The best French restaurant in town, bar none! Excellent table side service, intimate dining area and exquisite food make for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Larry EderDecember 18, 2012The wine list is reasonable and the cassoulet is like being in Paris. Fantastic service, and a true French cafe feel, one of stops in Austin.
Derek JohnsonJuly 16, 2018The duck is outstanding, the escargot is ridiculously delicious and the staff are fun. Highly recommended!
Sarah WilkinsonOctober 3, 2014Sarrazin was really good. Buckwheat crepe, ham, egg and perfect bechemel.
PearHavenAugust 15, 2012Delicious! Recommend: sweetbreads, salmon pate, duckling pate, creme brulee; try the Menu du Jour; wonderful service
Tom InglesiasMarch 16, 2015Top notch French comfort food! Found it on my epic new Supper app:

Melvis VelourJuly 13, 2014Try the Iles Floatent - as good as Grandmere but hers were the size of Greenland
Skylor WilliamsJanuary 2, 2015I went on my birthday in 2007. I still have flashbacks from that filet mignon.

Cyrille MFebruary 26, 2011Take it from the French: good authentic food, and a really good $25 menu. No reservations, though.
Erin DisneyMay 13, 2011To go lunch order wasn't right, but corrections were delivered with a smile. Beet salad was lovely :)
JohnApril 26, 2016Different chef or too busy in the kitchen, food is not the same.Escargot were tasteless and rubbery, the rest too much butter to taste anything else. Not worth it.
OonlineMarch 18, 2011Not all French food is born equal. Chez Nous was a disappointment. The Salade du Marche was small and the Roquefort minimal. The Crepe Sarrazin small and drowning in Bechamel.

"Cured salmon sandwich is the best -- you can't go wrong with that one. Green Fried Tomatoes are overhyped. The place is a hipster joint, but it does have a pleasant ambiance."
