Chez Nous occupies a small house on Payne Court, and the scale of the room is the point — convivial, close, the kind of place regulars call a hidden gem. The kitchen pulls from Southern France, Northern Italy, and Northern Spain, with a daily changing menu built around local ingredients: the same tight lineup of two appetizers, two entrées, and two desserts runs at both lunch and dinner, so the specifics shift night to night. Diners have reported trout, duck, and spaghetti preparations turning up on any given visit, alongside a wine list that draws its own following.
Charleston City Paper named Chez Nous to its best of 2026 list, and the restaurant holds a spot on Eater's Eater 38.
