Sometimes, the best things often come in small packages. That’s certainly true for the niche restaurant found hiding inside a seemingly normal house tucked away in an alley where you’d never see it – unless you know what you’re looking for.
There’s much to love about Chez Nous, starting with the fact that it’s hidden inside an old Charleston single house.

And, that it’s off the beaten path… like way off the path.

In fact, if not for the plate-sized sign affixed to the exterior, you may not even know there is a restaurant inside this skinny home located in uptown Charleston.

But there is! And the food is as much of an adventure as is discovering the unique venue.

Inside, you’ll step back in time in a rustic and retrofitted home with all the charm of the Old World.

Upstairs, you’ll find a small and intimate dining area that seats perhaps 20 guests. (Courtyard dining is also an option.)

But the location and the rustic charm of the venue are only part of the allure of Chez Nous. The menu changes daily, and there are only two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts from which to choose.

You’d expect the food to be exclusively French, but in fact, the eatery specializes in dishes from Southern France, Northern Italy, and Northern Spain.

What could be more fun than discovering the tiniest hidden, and most romantic restaurant in South Carolina?
